Middleware and point-to-point integrations represent two fundamentally different approaches for connecting Consumer Goods Cloud to backend systems like ERP and WMS platforms. Choosing the right architecture determines whether your data flows remain agile and maintainable or become a tangled web of custom code that hinders business responsiveness.

Core information
  • Point-to-point integration connects systems directly using custom code, creating tightly coupled dependencies that require complete rewrites when minor changes occur.
More details and nuances
  • Salesforce does not support native protocol conversion or distributed transactions, so middleware must handle these tasks to guarantee data integrity and prevent irreversible errors during failures.
