Senior ERP Connector — Azuvio on top of Senior, without touching your accounting or inventory
Native bidirectional integration between the Azuvio Smart Operations Layer and Senior ERP (formerly EBS) via official Senior Software REST API and SOAP Web Services. Partners, items, orders, invoices, goods receipts and payments synced in <2 min. Senior remains the master for accounting, inventory and reporting. Azuvio adds OMS, EDI, WMS, CRM, SFA and a B2B portal on top — the operations Senior handles narrowly or not at all.
Why Senior ERP alone is no longer enough in 2026
Senior ERP is one of the most mature Romanian ERPs, widely used across large distribution, multi-store retail and mid-market manufacturing. Accounting is impeccably localized, the inventory module is robust, multi-company and multi-warehouse are native. For accounting, ledger and tax reporting it's a solid choice — and that's exactly why you don't want to replace it.
The problem appears the moment you need true omnichannel operations: an online store with 6,000 SKUs, sales on eMAG/Allegro, deliveries to 6 countries via 5 carriers, EDI with Auchan/Lidl/Kaufland, 100 field reps, a warehouse with FEFO picking and lot tracking, 250 B2B customers asking for an ordering portal. Senior's modules for CRM, mobile sales or eCom exist but are functionally limited, and the UX doesn't compare to what consumers get on Glovo or Bolt. Senior customizations cost time and money, and vendor release cadence rarely matches your pace.
Azuvio fills exactly that gap: it runs on top of Senior as a Smart Operations Layer via a native connector that uses official Senior Software REST API and SOAP. All day-to-day operations — multi-channel orders, mobile picking, retailer EDI, lifecycle CRM, field reps, B2B portal — happen in Azuvio, and Senior receives exactly what it needs: partners, items, orders, invoices, goods receipts and payments, in clean form. Your accounting team changes nothing. You add new capabilities in weeks.
What the Azuvio Senior ERP connector does
8 native capabilities, included in the standard product — no separate modules, no per-call billing.
- Bidirectional partner sync — Customers and suppliers flow between Senior and Azuvio CRM with automatic matching on tax ID. A lead converted in Azuvio becomes a partner in Senior with an ANAF-validated tax ID; a partner edited in Senior appears in Azuvio in <2 min.
- Items + price lists sync — The Senior item master (code, name, UoM, groups, standard prices, per-customer price lists) published to Azuvio. Or the reverse — new products from eCom/OMS written back to Senior with auto-generated codes.
- Orders: Azuvio → Senior — Orders captured via OMS (EDI, marketplace, eCom, B2B portal, SFA, phone) are automatically written into Senior with the right partner, items, customer price-list rate and delivery terms. Status returned on changes.
- Invoices: Azuvio ↔ Senior — An invoice issued in Azuvio (at WMS dispatch) is written into Senior for accounting. Or the reverse — invoices issued in Senior synced to Azuvio for tracking. e-Factura delivered from whichever side suits you.
- Synced master stock — Master stock stays where it lives (Senior inventory or Azuvio WMS — your choice). Sync at configurable intervals (5–15 min) or event-driven. Buffers, multi-warehouse allocations, FBE/FBA, per-order reservations.
- Goods receipts & inbound — Goods receipt auto-created in Senior when goods are received in Azuvio WMS with barcode, photos on discrepancies, lot/expiry. PO → receipt → supplier invoice reconciliation runs automatically.
- Incoming payments + auto-matching — Payments from POS, eCom and Azuvio AR collection are written into Senior with automatic invoice ↔ payment matching. Your accountant's bank reconciliation gets 2x faster.
- Multi-company + multi-warehouse — Supports scenarios with multiple Senior companies (subsidiaries, divisions) and multiple warehouses. Azuvio maps partner/item/order to the correct company and warehouse, without manual intervention.
Native Azuvio connector vs Senior vendor customization vs native Senior eCom module
Same Senior integration, three different approaches — wildly different cost, time and risk.
| Aspect | Native Azuvio connector | Senior vendor customization | Native Senior eCom/CRM module |
|---|
| Time to first flow in production | 2–5 weeks | 3–9 months (vendor queue) | Fast activation but limited UX |
| Implementation cost | Included in Azuvio subscription | Thousands–tens of thousands € + queue | Per-user license + customizations |
| Modern mobile UX | Yes — offline-first, native Android | Web responsive | Limited, doesn't compare to Glovo/Bolt |
| Operations covered (OMS, EDI, WMS, SFA, B2B) | All, native | Only if you pay for each | eCom + basic CRM only |
| Maintenance after Senior update | Included — we update it | Paid again on each release | Included in Senior maintenance |
| Risk to existing Senior | Zero — only official APIs | Medium — modifies the master system | Zero (native module) |
| RO retailer EDI capabilities | EDIconnect since 2014, certified | Built separately | Limited or absent |
| Operational workflow flexibility | Very high — Azuvio is built around flows | Rigid — change via ABAP-like | Limited to Senior's flows |
Implementing the Azuvio Senior ERP connector — 6 steps
Typically 3–6 weeks from kick-off to first flow in production, depending on Senior complexity and number of flows.
- Kick-off + Senior audit — Senior ERP version, active modules (accounting, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, eCom), partner count, item count, multi-company, existing customizations. We agree which Azuvio modules connect in phase one (typically: partners + items + orders).
- Technical access + credentials — Enable Senior REST API / SOAP with a dedicated user and minimal rights on partners + items + orders + invoices + payments. Connectivity test, latency measurement, rate-limiting agreement.
- Partner + items + chart of accounts mapping — Field mapping Azuvio ↔ Senior: tax ID, internal partner code, VAT payer, payment terms, price list. Same for items: code, name, UoM, group, price. Chart of accounts mapping for invoices and payments. Documentation delivered.
- Initial history sync + dry-run — Import partners and items from Senior into Azuvio. Dry-run for orders: we push 10 test orders from Azuvio into Senior and validate. Any missing mapping is fixed before pilot.
- 2-week parallel pilot — Two weeks running Azuvio and Senior in parallel on a limited segment (one channel, one category, one warehouse). Your team validates daily. Tuning. Training for the operations team.
- Go-live + first-week monitoring — Connector enabled across all flows. Proactive monitoring for 7 days with alert on any error > 0. Daily checkpoint with your team. Full handover to Azuvio support with an agreed SLA.
Real problems solved by the Azuvio Senior ERP connector
- Problem: The Senior CRM module is used only by the internal sales team; field reps prefer WhatsApp and paper because the Senior mobile app isn't fast/offline enough. Azuvio + Senior solution: Azuvio SFA offline-first mobile with Senior sync: the rep sees live stock, the correct per-customer price from Senior, and writes the order directly. The order hits Senior at the end of the visit, with no lag.
- Problem: Orders from the online store and eMAG are entered manually into Senior by an operator team (cost: 1–2 FTEs fully allocated). Azuvio + Senior solution: Azuvio OMS captures orders from all channels and writes them into Senior with the right partner, items and price. The operator becomes an exception handler. You free up 1–2 FTEs for higher-value work.
- Problem: EDI with Auchan/Lidl/Kaufland runs on legacy middleware or spreadsheets; the integration with Senior happens via daily import files. Azuvio + Senior solution: Azuvio EDIconnect (live since 2014, certified with major RO retailers) receives ORDERS, writes them into Senior as orders, generates DESADV on dispatch and INVOIC on invoicing. Zero manual steps.
- Problem: The warehouse uses its own scanners or paper; the Senior NIR is entered 1–2 days later with discrepancies between physical and book stock. Azuvio + Senior solution: Azuvio WMS on mobile scanner: receipt via barcode, photo on discrepancies, lot/expiry captured. Goods receipt generated automatically in Senior within seconds, with the photo attached as evidence.
- Problem: B2B customers constantly call for stock, price, order status, balance — sales reps answer manually from Senior, burning 30–40% of their time on repetitive calls. Azuvio + Senior solution: Azuvio B2B Portal connects to Senior: the customer sees live stock, their own price, orders, invoices, payments, recurring orders. Inbound calls drop 60–80% in 90 days.
What Azuvio on top of Senior ERP looks like in practice
Built by Azuvio (2014–present, team with 200+ implementations in distribution, retail and manufacturing). The scenarios below are representative — typical combinations of the challenges we solve.
- Construction materials distributor on Senior + 50 field reps — Used Senior for accounting + inventory + an internal CRM module with low adoption. Added Azuvio SFA + OMS + Senior connector: reps write orders on offline mobile, they hit Senior instantly with the right customer price. Representative result: lag from 24h to 0, 95%+ rep adoption.
- Pharma distributor on Senior + 4 warehouses + lot/expiry — Senior for pharma inventory with mandatory lot/expiry, but warehouse picking on paper. Added Azuvio WMS + Senior connector: FEFO mobile picking with barcode + lot scanning, automatic NIR in Senior with photo. 90%+ reduction in picking errors.
- Omnichannel retailer on Senior + 12 stores + eCom + eMAG — Senior for centralized multi-store inventory, but eCom/eMAG on a separate system with no stock sync. Frequent oversell. Added Azuvio OMS + Senior connector: stock unified live across stores + eCom + eMAG, returns in one flow.
Technical & operational details for the Senior ERP connector
Supported Senior versions
Senior ERP versions with active REST API (we recommend upgrading to the latest stable version). For older versions we use Senior SOAP Web Services or intermediate-table import/export. Full RO localization (VAT, tax ID, e-Factura, tax filings).
APIs and protocols used
Senior REST API for standard transactions (partners, items, orders, invoices, goods receipts, payments). SOAP for more complex operations or older versions. Event-driven webhook where Senior exposes it (push instead of polling for lower latency). Custom RPC for stored procedures if needed.
Security and compliance
VPN or IPsec connection into the client's Senior server. Dedicated Senior user with minimal rights on required objects. Full logging for audit. GDPR-compliant. Contabo backups, Prometheus + Grafana monitoring.
Performance and rate limiting
Configurable per client. Default: 10–20 calls/sec on Senior REST API. Exponential retry on transient errors, dead-letter queue on permanent errors with alert. Event-driven webhook where Senior supports it, configurable polling interval otherwise.
Typical flows and volumes
A mid-sized client runs roughly 5,000–15,000 messages/day through the connector (partners, items, orders, invoices, payments). A large client with multi-company and multi-channel can reach 80,000+ messages/day at peak. The k8s pod-per-tenant architecture supports horizontal scaling without limits.
Gradual migration vs big-bang
Standard recommendation: do not enable all flows at once. Start with partner + item sync (read-only, zero risk), then add orders after a 2-week pilot, then invoices and payments. Big-bang only when there's an external constraint.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the Senior connector affect my existing Senior performance?
- No. We use official Senior REST API and SOAP with rate limiting calibrated to your server's load. At kick-off we measure latency and volume, then configure the connector to stay under the agreed threshold. For high-traffic servers we use event-driven webhooks where Senior supports them.
- How long does the Senior connector implementation take?
- Typically 3–6 weeks from kick-off to first flow in production. Includes audit, partner+items+chart of accounts mapping, history sync, a 2-week parallel pilot and go-live with 7-day monitoring. Multi-company or complex customizations add 1–2 weeks.
- What's the difference between Senior's native eCom/CRM module and Azuvio on top of Senior?
- Senior's eCom/CRM module is fine for simple cases, but the mobile UX and workflow flexibility are limited. Azuvio brings a modern consumer-grade UX (offline-first on mobile), native EDI capabilities with RO retailers, true multi-channel OMS, mobile-scanner WMS — none of which Senior's native module covers elegantly.
- Who issues e-invoicing (e-Factura) — Azuvio or Senior?
- You decide with us. Most common case: Azuvio generates the invoice at dispatch and sends it directly to the national e-invoicing system, then passes the invoice to Senior for accounting evidence only. Alternative: Senior generates and sends the invoice (if you have the module), and Azuvio receives the confirmation for tracking.
- Does the connector support multiple companies and warehouses in Senior?
- Yes, natively. We map each Senior company to an Azuvio entity and each warehouse to an Azuvio warehouse, with separate currencies and charts of accounts. Orders, invoices and payments hit the correct company and warehouse without manual intervention.
- What happens if Senior has downtime or an update?
- The Azuvio connector queues all operations during downtime, with no data loss. When Senior comes back, operations are resent in chronological order. For planned updates you get advance notice and we can switch temporarily to degraded mode (orders captured in Azuvio, written in batch after the update).
- Can we start with just partner/item sync and add the rest later?
- Yes, that's the standard recommended approach. We start read-only (partners + items + price lists) — zero risk on Senior. After 2 stable weeks we add write (orders, then invoices, then payments). Modular. You pay only for what you enable.
- How much does the Senior connector cost separately from Azuvio?
- The Senior connector is included in the standard Azuvio subscription (from €12/user/month) — you don't pay separately. The incremental cost is only the implementation scoping (4–8 consultant days), presented as a fixed quote after the audit. No per-call license, no variable fee, no annual maintenance fee.
