Many manufacturers are tied to their ERP — every change becomes expensive and risky. Yet this is often a question of architecture, not of product.
The adapter/repository pattern
In SmartShifter, an adapter/repository pattern consistently separates business logic from the database. The application does not "know" whether the data comes from one ERP system or another — it talks to an adapter.
A new ERP means a new adapter
The benefit is concrete: change your ERP or database and a new adapter is implemented — not the whole system rebuilt. You keep your processes and gain independence.
What this means for you
- No lock-in dependency on a single ERP vendor
- Multi-DB capable: MSSQL, MongoDB, Sybase & co.
- Investment protection for your established system landscape
