breeze knowledge base
Practical guides to system integration, APIs, and automation
Integrations are the foundation of modern businesses. When ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, online stores, marketplaces and other business systems exchange data in a controlled manner, manual work is reduced, data quality increases and the business becomes easier to scale.
The breeze knowledge base contains practical articles on integration architecture, APIs, file integrations, real-time integrations, master data, order flow, monitoring, security, and best practices. The content is suitable for both businesses planning new integrations and those looking to further develop existing solutions.
The goal is to provide you with concrete advice, technical insights, and best practices that make it easier to build robust, secure, and future-proof integrations with breeze .
Real-time integration vs. batch
The choice between real-time integration and batch is about more than speed. With breeze, you can combine both integration patterns based on your business needs, data volume, and refresh rate requirements. The result is a stable, efficient, and scalable data flow that balances performance, availability, and reliability.
Product data integration
Product data must flow efficiently between multiple systems to ensure accurate information across all sales channels. With breeze, you can automate the integration of product data from ERP, PIM, supplier and industry databases into online stores, marketplaces, WMS and other solutions. The result is higher data quality, faster updates and less manual work.
How to connect PIM, ERP and e-commerce
PIM, ERP and online store have different areas of responsibility, but must work seamlessly together to create effective digital sales processes. With breeze, the systems are connected in one controlled integration platform that ensures that product data, prices, inventory status, customers and orders are always up to date across the business's solutions.
Order integration without lost orders
Reliable order integration ensures that no orders are lost on the way from sales to delivery. Breeze automates the order flow between online store, ERP, WMS, CRM and transportation systems, with validation, traceability and monitoring at every stage. The result is faster order processing, fewer errors and a safer customer experience.
Master data synchronization
Master data is the foundation of efficient business processes. With breeze, you can synchronize customers, products, suppliers, and other master data between ERP, PIM, CRM, WMS, and other systems. A single, trusted data source and automatic updates result in higher data quality, fewer errors, and more efficient workflows.
Integration of legacy systems
Many businesses still rely on legacy systems that lack modern APIs but are critical to their daily operations. Breeze lets you integrate both legacy and new solutions into one common platform. File exchange, databases, EDI, and custom interfaces make it possible to modernize your IT landscape without replacing existing systems.
iPaaS vs. point-to-point integrations
As your business grows, point-to-point integrations become more difficult to maintain. An iPaaS platform like breeze brings all your integrations together in one place, simplifying data flow and providing better control, monitoring and scalability. The result is fewer dependencies, lower maintenance costs and a future-proof integration architecture.
Integration of inventory status and availability
Up-to-date inventory status is essential for an efficient value chain. With breeze, inventory and availability can be automatically synchronized between ERP, WMS, PIM, online stores and marketplaces. This provides more accurate inventory information, better customer experiences and a more secure basis for decisions in sales, purchasing and logistics.
Security in system integrations
Security is a fundamental part of any system integration. Breeze helps you protect business-critical and personal data through secure authentication, access control, encryption, logging, and traceability. The result is robust integrations that meet your business requirements for security, compliance, and reliability.
Scalable integration architecture
A scalable integration architecture prepares your business for growth. Breeze lets you handle increasing data volumes, multiple systems, new markets, and higher transaction volumes without increasing integration complexity. The platform provides stable, secure, and efficient data flow – today and as your business evolves.
What is an integration platform?
An integration platform is the hub that connects your business systems and automates the data flow between them. With breeze, you get rid of a confusing network of point-to-point integrations and get a single platform for management, monitoring, security and scalable integration between ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, online stores and other business systems.
Monitoring integrations
Monitoring is essential for stable and reliable integrations. Breeze lets you track all data flows in real time, detect anomalies early, and troubleshoot before issues impact your business or customers. This results in higher uptime, faster bug fixes, and full control over critical integrations.
Migrating from old integrations to breeze
Many businesses rely on legacy integrations that are difficult to maintain. With breeze, you can migrate to a modern integration platform in stages, without stopping your daily data flow. Reduce technical debt, increase stability, and gain better control over your integrations between ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, and other business systems.
Integration Governance: Control over the entire landscape
As the number of integrations grows, so does the need for governance. Integration Governance gives your business visibility into data flows, system responsibilities, ownership, and change processes. With breeze, you get a central integration platform that makes it easier to document, monitor, and control your entire integration landscape – both today and as your business grows.
Automatic error handling in integrations
No integration is error-free – that’s why they must be built to handle errors automatically. With breeze, deviations are detected, logged and handled through intelligent mechanisms such as retry, notification, validation and queue management. The result is more stable integrations, less manual work and higher uptime on critical data flows.
File integration with CSV, XML and other formats
File-based integrations are still an important part of many businesses' system landscapes. With breeze, you can automate the exchange of CSV, XML, Excel, JSON and other file formats in a secure and traceable manner. Validation, mapping and monitoring ensure stable data flow between both modern and legacy business systems.
Integration between ERP and online store
An effective integration between ERP and online store ensures that products, prices, inventory status, customers and orders are always up to date across systems. With breeze, data flow is automated in real time or at fixed intervals, allowing businesses to reduce manual tasks, avoid errors and create a better customer experience.
Data mapping between systems
Data mapping is the key to successful system integrations. With breeze, you can translate data between different systems, formats and data models without losing content or coherence. The result is a consistent, quality-assured and automated data flow between ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, online stores and other business systems.
API integration with control and traceability
An API provides access to data and functionality, but robust integration requires control over the entire data flow. With breeze, your business can handle authentication, mapping, validation, queues, automatic retries, and monitoring in one structured integration platform. This results in better traceability, fewer manual errors, and more robust connections between systems.
