Integration architecture planner
Select your systems and workflows to get a starting architecture: a suggested approach, the main components, data flows, error handling, monitoring, and risks. It runs entirely in your browser.
Architecture recommendation
How the planner decides
The planner applies a small set of transparent rules drawn from our guides. An unknown ERP leads to a discovery-first recommendation. Five or more systems point toward a middleware hub. An established ERP with simple processes suggests evaluating prebuilt connectors first, while custom ERPs and complex rules usually favor a custom integration service. Components, flows, and risks are then assembled from the workflows and processing model you select.
Treat the output as a starting point for a design discussion, not a finished architecture. Your security requirements, data volumes, team skills, and existing infrastructure all matter.
