Why connect katana and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM?

A company that operates both Katana and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. Without such a connection, teams may need to enter the same information into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. When records exist separately in each system, there is a possibility that information will become inconsistent, leading to situations where decisions are made using outdated or mismatched data. This can result in operational inefficiencies and missed opportunities to serve customers effectively. If a connection were established, it could allow key data to flow between Katana and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. For example, information about customers, inventory, sales orders, or production status could be exchanged, reducing the need for manual updates and helping ensure that both systems reflect the current state of the business. The specific types of data that could be shared depend on the capabilities of each system and the needs of the business. Ultimately, what can actually be exchanged is determined by the data and functions each system exposes through its API, and must be evaluated for each situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what katana and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
