From Exception Detected to Problem Solved — Automatically

When you acquire a business, their data has to meet your ERP standards before migration. Finding out it doesn’t — on migration day — is expensive. Aurum makes data quality validation a daily automated process throughout the entire onboarding period.

How it works

• Intercepts runs daily SQL queries against the acquired company’s data — checking customer records, inventory fields, sales quotes, and any other data domain against your ERP compliance rules
• Non-compliant records surface as exceptions, delivered to the onboarding team and management automatically each day
• Resolve can automatically start an Initiative when an exception is detected — tracking remediation ownership, actions taken, and a full audit trail
• Unify can execute automated remediation pipelines for exceptions with a known fix — correcting or routing data without manual intervention

The result: Daily visibility into compliance status. Exceptions caught and tracked from day one. By migration time, you have months of evidence that the data is clean.

Real-world result: A global manufacturer with over $1 billion in annual revenue uses Intercepts to run 10,000+ automated daily compliance queries across 5 database servers — validating acquired companies’ customer, inventory, and sales data against ERP standards throughout every onboarding process. Zero surprise failures at migration time.

Every business has data conditions that matter — inventory below reorder threshold, quality metrics outside tolerance, records missing required fields. Finding these exceptions usually requires someone to run a query. Aurum automates the detection and the response.

How it works

• Intercepts runs scheduled SQL queries that define your exception conditions — “show me inventory below reorder threshold,” “show me open quotes with no activity in 30 days,” “show me production records that failed QC”
• When the query returns results, Intercepts delivers them automatically — by email, portal, or downstream to Resolve
• Resolve creates an Initiative for each exception, assigns ownership, and tracks the business response through to resolution
• Unify can execute automated actions as part of the Initiative — sending notifications, updating records, or triggering downstream workflows in your ERP

The result: Exceptions are caught the moment they occur. The business response is tracked and audited. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Your team manages the queries, pipelines, and automations the rest of the business depends on. Scattered scripts, manual processes, and no visibility into what ran when — Aurum consolidates all of it into a single managed, auditable platform.

What Aurum replaces

• Scheduled SQL Agent jobs with no visibility or error alerting → Intercepts with full execution logging and automatic alerts
• Custom ETL scripts and API integrations maintained by one person → Unify pipelines, built visually and documented
• Manual follow-up on data issues → Resolve Initiatives triggered automatically, tracked to resolution
• Ad-hoc scripts scattered across systems → Auric scripting unified across all three products

What your team gains

• Single platform for all query, pipeline, and automation management
• Full execution history and performance logs for every Intercepts run and Unify pipeline
• Role-based access so the right people manage the right automations
• Scheduler health monitoring with automatic restart on failure
• Audit trail for every change, every run, every exception

Aurum is built for the people who manage the infrastructure — not just the people who consume data. It runs on your Windows Server, connects to your Active Directory, and stays inside your network perimeter.

• Self-hosted on Windows Server with IIS and SQL Server — no cloud dependency
• Active Directory (LDAP) authentication out of the box
• Granular security: role-based access at the transaction, object, and field level
• Full audit logging across all three products — logins, entity changes, query runs, pipeline executions, Initiative activity
• Multiple scheduler and web service instances for high availability
• Scheduler Supervisor service monitors health and auto-restarts on failure
• Multi-enterprise and multi-division support in a single deployment

Many organizations run data across systems that were never built to work together — ERPs, trading partner APIs, file feeds, email workflows, message queues. Getting them to share data in real time usually means custom middleware code that someone has to maintain. Unify replaces that with a visual pipeline that any IT team can understand and manage.

Example: Supplier-distributor real-time inventory integration

A manufacturer sells through a North American distributor that requires all suppliers to implement a specific API specification — XML-formatted HTTP requests and responses in their schema. The manufacturer’s inventory lives in their ERP system.

• The distributor sends an XML-formatted HTTP POST to a Unify-provided URL — a real-time stock inquiry in the distributor’s required format
• Unify parses the request, queries the manufacturer’s ERP API in real time, and extracts the current inventory level and location
• Every query is logged — a persistent audit trail of every stock check made by the distributor
• If a particular item is being requested above a defined frequency threshold, Unify automatically sends email alerts to process managers
• Unify returns the inventory data to the distributor formatted to their exact API specification

The result: One pipeline handles the full B2B integration — inbound API translation, ERP query, audit logging, conditional alerting, and formatted response — with no custom code to maintain. When the distributor updates their API spec, update the relevant nodes. Everything else stays unchanged.

Other Unify integration use cases

• Inbound email processing — emails received by Unify trigger pipelines that parse content, validate data, and write results to a database or trigger a workflow
• API-to-database synchronization — pull data from external APIs on a schedule, transform and validate it, write it to SQL Server
• Message bus event handling — consume events from Microsoft MQ, IBM MQ, or Azure Service Bus and route them through business logic to the right destination
• Multi-ERP data aggregation — query multiple ERP systems simultaneously, normalize formats, and return a unified result in real time
• Cross-system data transfers — move and transform data between internal systems, apply business rules in transit, and write back to multiple destinations simultaneously
