# BUSINESS APPLICATIONS & INTEGRATION SERVICES

 **Modernize the Applications That Run Your Business.**
 Connect finance, sales,
supply chain, and service workflows. Automate routine handoffs, give each department
timely information, and progress toward a more autonomous enterprise with clear 
ownership and human oversight.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

## TURN DISCONNECTED WORK INTO COORDINATED ACTION

When applications operate separately, employees become the integration layer. NextBits
connects the process, automates routine handoffs, and makes exceptions visible to
the people accountable for resolving them.

### MANUAL RECONCILIATION

Connect ERP, CRM, and commerce records with validation and reconciliation rules.
Finance sees mismatches and their owners.

**Measure:** Manual reconciliation hours and unmatched transactions.

### DISCONNECTED ORDER FULFILLMENT

Synchronize orders, inventory, and fulfillment updates. Operations receives failed-
order alerts; service teams see order status.

**Measure:** Order processing time and integration exception rate.

### SLOW APPROVALS

Automate routing by responsibility and agreed thresholds. Approvers receive relevant
context; exceptions retain human review.

**Measure:** Approval cycle time and overdue tasks.

### LATE REPORTING

Deliver governed data and role-specific dashboards. Department leaders use consistent
information to prioritize action.

**Measure:** Reporting freshness and time spent preparing reports.

DELIVERY APPROACH

## FROM ASSESSMENT TO MANAGED OPERATION

Each phase has clear deliverables and accountable owners. Start with a requirements
matrix, integration inventory, prioritized workflow backlog, and phased roadmap.
Expand automation as controls, adoption, and measured performance improve.

01

### ASSESS & PRIORITIZE

Map the current process, define owners, baseline performance, and prioritize the
first workflow. Deliver requirements and a phased business case.

02

### DESIGN & GOVERN

Agree target processes, data ownership, access roles, controls, exception paths,
and integration contracts. Deliver a solution design and acceptance criteria.

03

### CONFIGURE & CONNECT

Configure applications and automate approved handoffs. Migrate and reconcile data;
document interfaces and support responsibilities.

04

### VALIDATE & LAUNCH

Test end-to-end scenarios, permissions, failure recovery, and business acceptance.
Train users and agree cutover and rollback plans.

05

### OPERATE & IMPROVE

Monitor integrations and application health, manage incidents and releases, and 
review agreed performance measures. Expand automation as adoption and confidence
grow.

WHY NextBits

## BUSINESS CONTEXT, CONNECTED ENGINEERING, ONGOING OWNERSHIP

NextBits brings commerce, enterprise applications, integration, data, and managed
services together around the workflows that drive business performance.

### PUBLISHED MODERNIZATION EXAMPLE

For an electronics manufacturer, NextBits developed a phased roadmap connecting 
legacy applications around Adobe Commerce and shared customer data. This example
demonstrates integration planning, not measured ERP implementation results. Proposed
AI and automation capabilities remain roadmap items.

[Read the modernization case study](https://www.nextbitsgroup.com/modernizing-ecommerce-experience-for-an-electronics-manufacturer/)

### AGREE THE MEASURES BEFORE DELIVERY

Agree baseline measures and targets during assessment: finance tracks reconciliation
effort; operations tracks order cycle time and failed transactions; department leaders
track approval delays and reporting freshness. Review results with process owners
after launch before expanding automation.
