Integrating ERP, MRP, and CRM Systems for Houston Manufacturers
Creating a single source of truth that aligns your sales, planning, and production teams.
For a Houston manufacturer, the biggest barrier to efficiency is often the digital wall between your core software platforms. Your sales team works in the CRM, your planners live in the MRP, and your operations are managed by the ERP. When these systems don’t communicate, you’re left with manual data entry, inaccurate forecasting, and a delayed response to customer needs.
Nickel Idealtek specializes in integrating ERP, MRP, and CRM systems for Houston-based manufacturers. We build the digital connections that allow critical data to flow seamlessly across your entire business, creating a single source of truth that aligns your sales, planning, and production teams.

The Problem: Disconnected Systems Are Costing You Money
When your CRM, MRP, and ERP systems operate in isolation, they create significant operational friction that directly impacts your bottom line.
- Lack of a Single Source of Truth: Different departments work with different data, leading to confusion, inefficiency, and poor strategic decision-making based on incomplete or outdated information.
- Inaccurate Forecasting & Planning: Your sales team in the CRM has no real-time visibility into production capacity or material availability from the MRP/ERP. This leads to promising unrealistic deadlines and inaccurate forecasting that disrupts the entire production schedule.
- Costly Manual Data Entry: Your team is forced to waste valuable time manually re-entering sales order information from the CRM into the ERP to create a work order. This repetitive task is not only slow but is a major source of costly data entry errors that can lead to incorrect production runs.
- Poor Customer Visibility: Your sales and support staff can’t answer simple customer questions like “What’s the status of my order?” without manually checking with the production team, leading to slow responses and a frustrating customer experience.
The Solution: A Unified System Built for Manufacturing
Nickel Idealtek builds the digital connections that solve these problems, allowing critical data to flow seamlessly across your entire business.
- We Connect Sales to Production: We integrate your CRM with your MRP and ERP. Now, when your sales team generates a quote, the system can instantly check material availability and production capacity, providing accurate lead times to the customer upfront.
- We Automate Order Fulfillment: Once an order is confirmed in your CRM, our integration automatically generates a work order in your ERP and allocates the necessary materials in your MRP. This completely eliminates manual order entry, reduces errors, and dramatically speeds up the time from sale to production.
- We Provide Real-Time Data Syncing: We ensure that customer information, order status, and inventory levels are constantly synced across all platforms. This gives your sales team a live view of production and your planners an accurate view of incoming demand, creating total operational alignment.
