01do you replace the erp or integrate with it?
we integrate, always. nobody replaces a real erp inside one engagement and nobody should try. our bridge sits between the legacy erp and the modern stack. your erp team keeps doing what they do, your new systems finally get the data, and your database is never touched. replacement is a decade-long bet. integration is a 12 to 24-week bet that ships.
02we run a thai-specific erp (express accounting, businessplus, formula erp). does this still work?
yes, and this is where the foreign agencies quietly bow out. express accounting and businessplus expose csv or sftp, occasionally rest. formula erp has a richer api. discovery maps the available protocol for every data domain, then we build the adapter. thai master data comes out normalised to clean utf-8, english reporting is synthesised on top, and line oa or teams alerts land in the right register for each role. we have a thai partner in the room for exactly this.
03what about pdpa for cross-system data flows?
pdpa is in the architecture, not stapled on at the end. explicit purpose of processing per flow, retention per data category, a data subject rights endpoint when volume warrants it, consent flows documented, supabase rls enforcing access row by row. cross-border flows get eu ai act and gdpr alignment alongside pdpa, because we have been building to eu standards out of brussels since 2021. the governance pack is a deliverable you own.
04what is the typical timeline?
discovery 2 to 4 weeks. build 10 to 20 weeks depending on flow count and how hostile your erp side is. cut-over 2 weeks. then 90 days of care. a medium bridge of 3 to 6 flows is 14 to 24 weeks total. big programmes split into sequential sprints with sign-off between each, so you can stop after any one of them and still own something that works.
05are you physically in bangkok?
yes, and it changes everything. we run a studio in the sukhumvit corridor with a thai senior partner, mameaw. we come to your office, your warehouse, your hotel front desk and your erp admin's room. utc+7, no overnight handoff to a team in europe, english-first communication and a 24-hour email response. the offshore vendor emailing you from another timezone cannot match that.
06english or thai for the engagement?
engagement and documentation in english, training in english for ops and in thai for finance when your finance team is thai-native. line oa and teams alerts are bilingual wherever the role demands it. your thai-fluent reviewers validate the thai workflows during phase 2, so nothing ships that your own staff cannot read.
07can the build qualify for boi software promotion?
we flag it during discovery. boi activity 8 covers software development, digital platforms and digital content, and while an erp bridge alone does not trigger it, the wider software operation around it often does. we map what qualifies, your boi consultant or in-house counsel files it. we have been running the bangkok studio since 2024 and know where this conversation goes.
08how much does erp integration cost in bangkok?
ERP integration starts at USD 16,500, scope-dependent, fixed price per phase, and every price is published on this page before you talk to anyone. A paid 30-minute intake call comes first, then a transparent quote lands in your inbox inside 48 hours with sprint length and the protocol plan per flow. Terms are 50/50 under USD 25k, 30/40/30 above it. USD invoice, THB equivalent shown at 32.93.
09how long does an erp integration project take?
Discovery takes 2 to 4 weeks, build takes 10 to 20 weeks depending on flow count and ERP complexity, cut-over takes 2 weeks, then 90 days of post-launch care. A medium-complexity bridge with 3 to 6 flows runs 14 to 24 weeks total. Bigger programmes split into sequential sprints with sign-off between each, so you own working software at every checkpoint.
10do you replace our erp or integrate with it?
DLVX integrates and never replaces. The bridge layer sits between the legacy system and the modern stack, so the ERP team keeps doing what they do while Shopify, Shopee, Lazada, LINE OA and Claude finally get the data they need. We never touch your database. Replacing an ERP is a decade-long bet, integrating it is a 12 to 24 week bet that ships.
11what do you actually deliver in an erp integration project?
Seven things: a signed 15 to 30 page integration spec, a hosted integration layer, protocol adapters for SOAP, REST, EDI, SFTP or scheduled CSV, Thai master data normalised to clean UTF-8, a PDPA governance pack with row-level access controls, a 20-page handover manual, and 90 days of post-launch care with two tuning passes. The code sits in your own repo from day one.
12can you connect sap business one to shopee and lazada?
Yes, that is a standard bridge for us. SAP Business One on-premise pushes price and inventory to Shopee and Lazada, and a LINE OA workflow handles B2B stock checks, quotes and order entry. SOAP is the usual protocol on SAP B1. Nothing changes inside the SAP database, because the bridge owns the contract.
13has dlvx done a soap integration on a legacy erp before?
DLVX has scoped exactly this pattern for Hottlet Foods, a 75-year-old IFS-certified food importer whose trilingual Next.js platform DLVX already designed and shipped, live today. The SOAP bridge into their 30-year-old on-premise Lisa ERP is mapped as the next phase: protocol chosen, flows defined, ready to build. That is exactly what a Bangkok food importer on SAP B1 needs. DLVX has shipped 60+ platforms since 2021 for clients including Daikin, Zalando, MediaMarkt and Board of Innovation.
14does erp integration work with thai systems like express accounting or businessplus?
Yes. Thai-specific systems get a purpose-built protocol adapter. Express Accounting and BusinessPlus expose CSV or SFTP exports, sometimes a REST endpoint, and Formula ERP has a richer API. Discovery maps the available protocol per data domain, then normalises Thai-language master data into a clean UTF-8 layer so nothing gets mangled downstream.
15can an erp integration project qualify for boi promotion?
DLVX flags BOI Activity 8 eligibility during discovery. Activity 8 covers software development, digital platforms and digital content. An ERP bridge alone does not automatically trigger BOI status, but the wider software operation around it often does. We map what qualifies, your BOI consultant or in-house counsel files it.
16is dlvx actually based in bangkok for erp integration work?
Yes. DLVX runs a Bangkok studio in the Sukhumvit corridor with a Thai senior partner, and site visits to your office, warehouse, hotel front desk or ERP admin's room are part of the engagement. UTC+7 timezone, no handoff lag, 24-hour email response, English-first with Thai-language training for finance teams. EU engineering standards, Bangkok desk.
