The digital transformation of businesses depends on the interoperability and efficiency of information systems. Among these, two systems stand out: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and Master Data Management (MDM).
These two systems, although different, ideally complement each other to improve the management and overall performance of corporate data. The MaPS System MDM integrates seamlessly with the ERP systems on the market, offering real synergy for businesses.

In a world where data management has become a strategic issue, combining an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) with a Master Data Management (MDM) system such as the MaPS System MDM represents a real opportunity for companies of all sizes. This complementary duo guarantees data quality, consistency and interoperability while supporting business processes.
Take a closer look at this winning alliance.
Complementarity between ERP and MaPS System MDM
ERP is primarily a tool for managing business processes (invoicing, procurement, stock management, etc.), while Master Data Management (MDM) acts as a guarantor of the quality and consistency of reference data.
Within MDM, reference data is the basic management data for any business, such as product data, suppliers, shops, customers, manufacturers, distributors, etc.
Together, they create a powerful synergy:
- Single Source of Truth: the MaPS System MDM feeds the ERP with cleansed, enriched and deduplicated data, reducing errors and inconsistencies in operational processes.
- Smooth data flow: the MaPS System Master Data Management can also receive raw data from the ERP, structure it and redistribute it throughout the ecosystem (CRM, eCommerce, third-party applications).
- Flexibility of integration: depending on the company’s business needs and organisation, the MDM can be positioned upstream or downstream of the ERP.
For example, international companies with several ERP systems can rely on the MaPS System MDM to centralise, harmonise and distribute their data across all their information systems.
Data exchange: optimized interaction
Without Master Data Management, each system (ERP, PLM, CRM, eCommerce, etc.) often manages its own version of the data, leading to inconsistencies, duplications and errors. The MaPS System MDM revolutionize data management:
- Data centralization: an update in the MaPS System MDM is automatically propagated to the ERP and other components of the information system.
- Guaranteed quality: data is standardized and complies with governance rules.
The benefits of MaPS System MDM x ERP integration
Integrating the MaPS System MDM with your ERP provides a number of key benefits:
- Consistency: data aligned across all systems, avoiding conflicts and desynchronization.
- Efficiency: a significant reduction in errors, so less time is wasted correcting them.
- Flexibility: better prepared for business growth and scalability.
When is the combination of ERP and MDM essential?
An ERP may be sufficient for a small organisation with simple processes. However, Master Data Management (MDM) becomes essential in the following situations:
- managing large volumes of complex data
- the need to exchange data between several systems
- operating in a multi-channel or multinational environment
Interoperability with market ERP systems
The Master Data Management MaPS System is designed to integrate with major ERP systems such as SAP, Sage X3, Cegid Orli, Generix ACE, Dynamics 365, etc.
Its technical integration capabilities include :
- Rest and GraphQL APIs for flexible interconnection
- import/export modules tailored to specific needs
Whether the MDM is positioned upstream or downstream of the ERP, MaPS System guarantees seamless integration:
