ServicesCRM-ERP-AI Integration

Connect Sugar, Epicor Kinetic, and AI agents into one working system

  • Epicor Platinum Partner
  • SugarAI Premier Partner
  • 100s of Epicor and Sugar implementations across the Americas

Most partners know one platform. TCP knows Sugar and Kinetic, and built the connector that joins them. That connector is Fluent. When the two systems share data, sales sees real revenue, operations stops re-keying quotes, and your AI agents can answer questions that span both.

Who this is for

  • Sales works in a CRM. Operations works in an ERP. The two do not talk.
  • Sales cannot see invoices, open orders, or credit holds.
  • Quotes are typed into the ERP a second time.
  • Account data is different in each system.
  • Forecasts are built from opportunities instead of shipped revenue.

If three of these are true, the integration pays for itself in re-keying alone.

What each team gets

For Sugar

What your sales team sees after the connection

  • Invoices and open orders on the account record.
  • Forecasts built from shipped revenue, not just opportunities.
  • Credit holds visible before a quote goes out.
  • Product and price lists that match the ERP, always.
  • One customer record. No more asking which system is right.

For Epicor Kinetic

What your operations team gets

  • Quotes arrive as sales orders. Nobody re-keys.
  • Customer records that match the CRM.
  • Service cases visible next to the customer's orders.
  • Fewer calls from sales asking whether it shipped.

For AI agents

Questions that cross both systems

  • What did this customer order last quarter, and is anything overdue?
  • Is this account on credit hold, and who is the sales rep?
  • Send this customer their invoices from August.

Build the connector once, use it twice.

Fluent or custom

Fluent is cheaper and faster. Custom is for real needs, not a default. Fluent features and pricing are at fluenterp.com.

Fluent covers it

Standard objects, standard flows. Weeks to live.

Fixed price

Fluent plus mapping

Your custom fields and business rules added on top of the standard connector.

Fixed price for defined scope

Custom connectors

Other systems in the mix: e-commerce, accounting, portals.

Fixed-price scope after discovery

Other systems TCP has connected

  • E-commerce platforms, including Shopify and B2B commerce.
  • Accounting systems, including Sage Intacct and Xero.
  • WhatsApp and email.
  • Supplier portals.

If a system has an API, TCP can connect it. If it does not, TCP will tell you what the options are.

Proof

Frequently asked questions

With Fluent and standard objects, weeks. With custom fields and rules, longer. TCP gives a fixed scope after a short assessment.

Both. Accounts, quotes, and credit status sync on change. Large catalogs can sync nightly. You choose per data type.

TCP sets a master for each field before go-live. Usually Kinetic owns billing and credit data, and Sugar owns contacts and sales activity. Conflicts are flagged, not silently overwritten.

Often yes. It depends on the version and how it is hosted. TCP will check in the assessment. Sometimes an upgrade first is the better path.

Either. Fluent is faster and cheaper when it fits. Custom is for systems Fluent does not cover or rules that are truly yours. TCP will recommend the cheaper path that works.

TCP does, under a block of support hours. Fluent connects through supported APIs, so most upgrades need testing, not rebuilding.

Yes. TCP has connected Shopify, Sage Intacct, Xero, and WhatsApp alongside Sugar and Kinetic.
