Connecting Intelligence with ERP: How Kanverse Integrates Seamlessly with DelmiaWorks

A Flexible Approach to Integration

Unlike modern cloud ERPs that offer plug-and-play connectors, DelmiaWorks integrations typically require a more thoughtful approach. It doesn’t provide a single, out-of-the-box integration pattern that fits every use case, especially for document-heavy processes like Accounts Payable. Kanverse is designed with this exact challenge in mind.

Kanverse supports multiple integration patterns with DelmiaWorks, allowing customers to choose what best fits their operational reality. In some cases, Kanverse works with scheduled data synchronization. Master and transactional data—such as vendors, purchase orders, receipts, payment terms, freight routes, or GL mappings—can be shared at regular intervals via secure file exchanges. Kanverse consumes this data and stores it as lookups, which are then used during invoice processing for fast and reliable validations. This approach reduces runtime dependency on the ERP, improves performance, and works especially well in high-volume environments.

In parallel, Kanverse also supports runtime integration using DelmiaWorks’ supported Web APIs. This pattern is particularly valuable when real-time accuracy matters—such as validating current PO status, checking receipt availability, or detecting duplicate invoices already posted in DelmiaWorks. Kanverse securely authenticates, manages tokens, and fetches live data only when needed, ensuring validations are always based on the latest ERP state.

What makes this powerful is not the technical method itself, but the flexibility. Kanverse doesn’t assume a single “correct” way to integrate. Instead, it adapts to the customer’s infrastructure, network constraints, and business priorities—whether DelmiaWorks is running on-premise, behind firewalls, or accessed through controlled endpoints. From the user’s perspective, the experience remains simple and consistent.

Intelligent Validation Where It Matters Most

Validation is where Kanverse truly differentiates itself in a DelmiaWorks integration.

Invoices—especially in manufacturing environments—are rarely simple. They can be PO-based or non-PO, inventory-related or freight-related, domestic or international, clean or full of exceptions. Kanverse applies a comprehensive validation framework before anything reaches DelmiaWorks, ensuring the ERP only receives data it can trust.

At a foundational level, Kanverse performs generic validations such as vendor verification, invoice number checks, payment term validation, currency normalization, and duplicate detection. These checks alone eliminate a significant percentage of downstream errors and manual corrections.

Beyond that, Kanverse understands context. For PO-based invoices, it can validate invoices against purchase orders and receipts, ensuring quantities, prices, and totals align. For non-PO invoices, it applies rule-based checks and flags exceptions early. When something doesn’t add up—missing information, mismatched totals, or incomplete references—Kanverse doesn’t silently fail. It brings the issue to the user with clear messaging and allows manual intervention where required.

This balance between automation and control is key. Kanverse doesn’t aim to bypass business judgment; it aims to support it with accurate data and clear visibility.

Publishing with Confidence into DelmiaWorks

Once invoices are validated and approved, the final step is publishing them into DelmiaWorks. While DelmiaWorks does not expose a direct REST API for invoice creation, Kanverse works seamlessly within this constraint.

Kanverse generates ERP-compliant output—such as EDI or structured files—and delivers them to a shared location like SFTP or SharePoint, where DelmiaWorks can reliably pick them up and create invoices internally. This approach respects DelmiaWorks’ architecture while ensuring full auditability and traceability from source document to posted invoice.

From the business perspective, this feels seamless. Invoices arrive, are processed intelligently, validated thoroughly, approved where needed, and appear in DelmiaWorks accurately and on time—without manual re-entry or firefighting.
