In today’s rapidly evolving supply chain environment, the resurgence of North American manufacturing hinges on digital transformation, none more so than in warehouse operations. As distribution centers become more complex, automation is no longer optional; it’s a strategic imperative. At the heart of this shift is the integration between Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms.
One powerful example of this is Kore Technologies’ (“Kore’s”) ERP integration with the Tecsys Elite™ WMS, a combination that drives operational efficiency and enables growth for supply chain operators.
Bridging the Gap Between ERP and WMS
The warehouse is more than just a storage facility; it’s the nerve center for modern supply chains. To ensure optimal operation, companies need a seamless flow of data between their WMS and ERP. Kore’s ERP to WMS integration solution addresses this need with a robust, pre-built interface connecting Tecsys Elite™ WMS to modern ERP platforms through Kore Integrate, its data and application integration (ETL and EAI) software platform.
By leveraging Kore Integrate, organizations benefit from near real-time data exchange using REST APIs and Tecsys Iguana interfaces. This architecture ensures reliable and timely updates between systems, minimizing data lag and process inefficiencies.
Case in Point: A $500M Industrial Supply Chain Operator
A leading wholesale distributor of electrical and lighting supplies is one of the latest adopters of the Tecsys-Kore integration for Eclipse ERP. Their objectives were clear: to achieve bi-directional synchronization between warehouse and back-office systems and to implement an automation-ready foundation that enhances service delivery and internal efficiencies.
Kore delivered an end-to-end implementation that included:
-
- Installation of the Kore Integrate platform, along with its RESTful API on the Client’s UniVerse database servers.
- Configuration of the Tecsys Connector and Eclipse Adaptor to enable seamless communication between systems.
- Custom training and administrative tools to manage integration schedules and handle exceptions.
- Comprehensive testing and support from development through go-live.
With the integration in place, the distributor reports measurable improvements in speed and accuracy across daily operations. Automated workflows now handle everything from order management and replenishment to receiving and shipping, cutting manual touchpoints and streamlining processes. As a result, the team has reduced errors, accelerated fulfillment times, and freed staff to focus on higher-value customer service and growth initiatives.
Strategic Benefits of the Tecsys-Kore Partnership
What makes this integration model so compelling for North American supply chain operators?
-
- Streamlined Transactions: Inventory and bi-directional order data move fluidly between systems, eliminating data silos and reducing reconciliation errors.
- Scalability: The integration framework is designed to grow with the business—whether running one’s ERP on-premise, in a private cloud, or through SaaS. It is also built to handle a single Tecsys-controlled warehouse or multiple warehouses.
- Built-in Adaptability: Regular updates ensure compatibility with Tecsys WMS and ERP platform versions without disrupting the integration layer.
- Support for Customization: While the core implementation is standardized, Kore offers flexibility to address client-specific needs.
Enabling North America’s Manufacturing Resurgence
As domestic manufacturing regains momentum, supply chains need to keep pace. Warehouse automation, driven by integrated systems like Tecsys WMS and Eclipse ERP through Kore Integrate, is becoming foundational for competitiveness.
Whether it’s improving order accuracy, reducing fulfillment cycles, or maximizing inventory visibility, the Tecsys-Kore WMS integration model empowers distributors and manufacturers alike to operate smarter and grow faster.
