buffers.ai connects to SAP, Oracle, IBM AS400, Priority, Microsoft Dynamics, and many custom-built ERPs. Here's what's supported, what data is required, and how a rollout gets scoped.
Connectors for the major ERP platforms, plus many custom-built, in-house systems.
SAP ERP systems
Oracle ERP systems
IBM i (AS/400) based ERPs
Priority ERP
Dynamics 365 and earlier Dynamics ERPs
Many in-house and heavily customized systems connected
Share a CSV or XLSX export of your own sales history with our team and it runs through the same five-algorithm backtest used in production — no ERP work required to see how it performs on your catalog.
Production rollouts run on a recurring feed from your existing system — through a connector for SAP, Oracle, IBM AS400, Priority, or Microsoft Dynamics, a custom integration with an in-house ERP, or batch/FTP exchange (as in the RAI case study).
buffers.ai connects to SAP, Oracle, IBM AS400, Priority, and Microsoft Dynamics, and to many custom-built ERPs. Whatever the source system, the team handles catalog-specific details like fractional units, weight-based products, and vendor-specific naming. Running something not listed here? Ask directly — custom ERPs are a routine part of rollouts.
One row per SKU per day. Everything beyond the three required columns is optional and depends on your catalog.

Optional, if you have it
Never required, but the more consistently they're filled in, the more the forecasting models can learn from them.
On RAI's rollout — a grocery retailer managing 6,000–7,000 SKUs — buffers.ai's team worked directly with RAI's internal developers to configure FTP-based data exchange with their existing ERP, handle fractional and weight-based units, localize product naming for vendor communication, and resolve unit inconsistencies across suppliers, with ongoing technical support as the integration matured. That's the model for custom and in-house systems: configuration around your system, not a requirement to adopt a new one.
Full write-up: How RAI saved 3 hours per day per store manager.
