*Quick answer*

## Who can connect our accounting, ERP and payroll systems so the team stops re-keying data?

*High confidence · Verified 8 Nov 2026*

National Digital connects accounting, ERP and payroll systems through their APIs, so an invoice, a payment or a pay run is entered once and reaches every system that needs it. A failed transfer is noticed and retried.

**Additional Context:** This hub holds the connections that end in the ledger and involve no commerce, booking or CRM system.

## What this hub covers

This hub covers payroll, ERP to ERP, ERP middleware and the accounting package itself. Each integration states which system owns each record, what moves between the systems and how a failed transfer is noticed and retried.

The guides below go into each case: [ERP integration](/systems-integration/accounting-and-erp-integration/erp-integration/), [payroll integration](/systems-integration/accounting-and-erp-integration/payroll-integration/) and [Xero and MYOB integration](/systems-integration/accounting-and-erp-integration/xero-integration/).

## Where a connection is filed

A link is filed under the other system it connects. A link between a store and the accounting package is covered by e-commerce, payments and shipping integration. A link between a CRM and the accounting package is covered by [CRM integration](/systems-integration/crm-integration/). A problem that spans several systems starts on the systems integration page.

## Who it is for and where to start

Finance and operations teams usually buy this work, because re-keying between systems is their cost. IT and systems leads own the platforms being connected. The first engagement for an existing estate is the [Platform Health Check](/services/platform-health-check/), which reports on the condition of the code, infrastructure, security and documentation of the systems to be connected.

### Find out what condition it is in

A Platform Health Check is a fixed $3,950 review of the code, infrastructure, security posture and documentation, ending in a written report and one recommendation. The fee is credited in full against a rebuild that proceeds within 90 days.
