Connect Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks

Connecting Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks for a company could enable the transfer of order, inventory, and financial data between the two systems. This integration could support more efficient order processing, inventory updates, and financial reconciliation, reducing manual data entry and supporting more accurate and timely business operations across both platforms.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks?

A company that operates both Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange. Such a connection could help address issues that arise when systems operate in isolation, such as the need to manually enter the same data into each system, which increases the risk of errors and wasted time. Without automated data exchange, records in each system could drift apart over time, leading to inconsistencies that might result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could allow the company to synchronize key business data between Microsoft Dynamics AX, which is widely recognized as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, and LinnWorks, which is known as an order and inventory management platform. The types of data that could be exchanged might include product information, inventory levels, sales orders, customer details, and fulfillment statuses. Exchanging this data could help ensure that both systems reflect the current state of the business, reducing the risk of stockouts, overselling, or customer service issues caused by discrepancies. The specific data that can be exchanged, and the direction in which it can be transferred, depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Microsoft Dynamics AX and LinnWorks 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.
