Built to coexist with your ERP.
Built to talk to your WMS.
Your ERP keeps the books and the customer orders. Your WMS keeps the warehouse picks. Ignite Lean is everything between them — the production execution layer that runs the floor and pushes status back to both.
Which connector, and why
Every integration uses one of five methods. Here's what each is for, so you can see how your stack would connect.
The pub/sub standard for the smart factory. One endpoint ingests cycle counts, downtime, and state from any Sparkplug edge. Best for live OEE off the floor. roadmap
Reads tags from almost any modern PLC or SCADA system without a broker. Best when you want machine data straight from the controller. roadmap
Read and write programmatically. Best for ERP / WMS order and inventory sync. live
Ignite Lean notifies your systems the instant a build completes or a quality event fires. Best for keeping the ERP in sync in real time. live
For systems without a live API. Import orders, export results on a schedule. Best as a fallback when nothing else fits. live
ERP
Sales orders, BOMs, costing, and billing stay in your ERP. Ignite Lean runs the floor and pushes status back.
WMS & Inventory
Your warehouse owns picks and stock. Ignite Lean consumes components on build and reports back what was used.
SCADA / MES & Machine Data
Auto-capture cycle counts, downtime, and OEE from the machines you already run instead of typing them in.
IoT & Connectivity
The open standards underneath every connection: MQTT/Sparkplug, OPC-UA, REST, and webhooks.
Accounting
For shops without a full ERP. Push completed-order and labor cost data into the books.
QMS / Compliance
Quality management systems and compliance suites. Push NCs, CAPAs, audit findings, and document-control events out to your QMS of record.
PLM
Product lifecycle management. Pull part / BOM / drawing revisions in, push as-built and ECN data back.
CAD
Design tools. Pull drawings, models, and revision metadata into work instructions and inspections.
HR + Time & Attendance
People systems. Sync operator rosters, shift schedules, skills, and clock-in data with your floor.
BI / Analytics + Data Warehouse
Pipe every event, build, and KPI into your BI tool or warehouse for deeper analysis.
Communication + Alerting
Route Ignite Lean events (downtime, NCs, escalations) to Slack, Teams, SMS, on-call, and ticketing tools.
EDI / Trading Partners
Customer-mandated EDI flows for orders, ASNs, invoices, and forecasts.
Shipping + Logistics
Carriers and shipping platforms. Push finished-goods shipments and pull tracking back.
Vision + Inspection
Smart cameras and inline inspection systems. Pull pass/fail + measurement data into builds and NCs.
Smart Tooling
Networked torque tools, scanners, pick-to-light, scales. Drive error-proofing from the kiosk.
Calibration Management
Gauge and instrument calibration databases. Sync due dates, certs, and out-of-tolerance events.
Procurement + Supplier
Source-to-pay, supplier scorecards, and quality-incident reporting.
E-Commerce
Online stores and marketplaces. Pull customer orders straight into production.
CRM + Sales
Sales pipelines and customer records. Sync opportunities and orders into production and complaints into accounts.
Identity + SSO
Enterprise SSO and directory sync so your shop floor logs in with corporate credentials.
Document + File Management
Drawings, customer specs, supplier docs. Embed file storage in work instructions and traceability records.
Field Service + APM
Field service management and asset performance. Sync field-installed builds and predictive-maintenance signals.
PIM + Catalog
Product information management. Pull product attributes, channel data, and variant catalogs into builds.
Digital Asset Management
Photos, videos, 3D models, marketing assets. Pull into work instructions and inspections.
MRO Supplier Marketplaces
Industrial supply distributors. Auto-reorder parts and route requisitions to your preferred MRO partners.
Learning + Training
LMS + training platforms. Drive operator certifications, retrain on WI bumps, and gate kiosk operations.
Telematics + Fleet
Mobile equipment, forklifts, delivery vehicles. Sync usage data and integrate fleet logistics.

- Production orders
- Visual work instructions
- Kiosk-driven build execution
- Kit-level traceability
- Quality (CAPA · NCs · audits)
- Maintenance (assets · WOs · PM)
- Operator guidance & training
- Production KPIs & analytics
What lives where.
The cleanest architecture is the one where each system owns what it's best at. Here's the honest split.
Your ERP keeps
- Customer master + accounts
- Sales orders + invoices
- Purchasing + AP / AR
- General ledger + financials
- Period close + reporting
- Statutory + tax compliance
Ignite Lean owns
- Production orders + scheduling
- Work instructions + canvas
- Kiosk-driven build execution
- Operator training matrix
- Quality NCs + CAPA + audits
- Maintenance work orders + PMs
- Kit-level traceability + build records
- Production KPIs (throughput, MTBF, OEE)
Your WMS keeps
- Warehouse inventory by location
- Pick + put-away rules
- Replenishment triggers
- Receiving + shipping
- Lot + serial reservations
- Carrier integrations
Kiosk picks. Andon parts calls.
The operator at the workstation needs a part. Today: walks to the bench, hunts down a supervisor, the supervisor walks to the warehouse window, the warehouse looks it up, somebody radios back. Five minutes of standing still per call, repeated all shift.
With Ignite Lean's WMS integration, the operator taps "Call for parts" on the kiosk. The pick request is in the WMS queue before the supervisor has been paged. If the part is short, the andon-style alert hits the supervisor's phone with the workstation + the missing SKU pre-filled. They radio the warehouse with concrete info, not "uh, station 4 needs something."
Same model for replenishment: kit-level consumption from the kiosk events flows to the WMS so reorder points fire on actual production usage, not estimates.
Available today vs roadmap.
Honest framing. We don't claim turnkey connectors that don't exist yet — those land when paying customers ask by name.
- REST APISupabase-powered, JWT-authenticated. Read + write on every domain entity (production orders, builds, NCs, work orders, assets, parts).
- Excel / CSV import + exportBulk-import production orders from Excel; export build history, NCs, and work orders to CSV.
- Outbound webhooks (custom payload)Via Edge Functions — fire your own URL on any event (build complete, NC opened, WO closed).
- Personal Access TokensLong-lived bearer tokens for service-to-service API access. Format
il_pat_xxx…; managed under Settings → Integrations with one-shot reveal and per-token revoke. - Public API documentationOpenAPI 3 spec rendered with Redoc at /api-docs. Endpoint examples, PAT auth flow, schema reference.
- Zapier & Make.com (no-code)Use the outbound webhooks as Zap / Make triggers, and a Personal Access Token for the read side ("Custom GET"). No proprietary connector required — it's just bearer auth + JSON. Recipes in the API docs.
- Native ERP connector (pilot)Platform scaffold in place — provider adapter ships with the first paying pilot. Targets: QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Sage, Odoo, Dynamics, or any custom REST API. Per-org config + secret vault + sync audit log already live on the platform side.
- SFTP file drops (on request)Common pattern for legacy ERPs. Nightly batch drop of completed-orders CSV — we wire it up per customer.
- Native SAP Business One connectorBidirectional: SAP B1 sales orders → IL production orders; IL completed builds → SAP B1 production receipts.
- Native Microsoft Dynamics GP connectorSame bidirectional sync for GP's manufacturing module.
- Native Oracle / JD Edwards connectorAligned with the SMB mid-market footprint for JDE EnterpriseOne.
- Native WMS connector (Fishbowl first)For the kiosk-pick + andon parts-call flow above.
- Zapier + Make.com appsFor everyone outside the named-connector list who wants no-code workflow automation.
ERPs we play well with.
Honest scope per ERP. Native connectors land when paying customers ask by name. Until then: REST API + Excel / CSV + webhooks get you the same outcome with more glue code.
SAP Business One
Common in 50–500 employee manufacturers. Native B1 connector on the Q1–Q2 2027 roadmap. Today: REST API + CSV import of SAP B1 production-order export gets you 80% of the value.
Microsoft Dynamics GP
Long-standing SMB favourite, especially in North America. Native GP connector on the same Q1–Q2 2027 roadmap. Today: same REST / CSV pattern.
Oracle / JD Edwards
JDE EnterpriseOne and Oracle Cloud ERP both well-suited to Ignite Lean as the floor-execution layer. Bidirectional connector roadmap.
Epicor
Epicor Kinetic and ERP. Strong manufacturing fit. Same REST + CSV pattern today; named connector roadmap.
NetSuite
Most common SMB cloud ERP. NetSuite's native REST API plays well with our REST API for a custom-built integration today.
Infor / Sage
Common in distribution-heavy manufacturers. Same connector roadmap. Today's REST + CSV pattern works.
