Procountor + CRM: How to unify finance and sales in one system<\/h1>\n

TLDR<\/strong>
\n– Disconnected sales and finance systems are one of the most common operational bottlenecks in Finnish SMEs
\n– Procountor-CRM integration eliminates duplicate customer records and copy-paste errors
\n– Invoices can be created directly from a won deal \u2014 no manual data entry
\n– Resappi’s Procountor integration includes two-way customer sync, invoice automation and payment status visibility in the CRM
\n– Setup takes a day, not a month-long project<\/p>\n

\n

The problem: the copy-paste curse of two disconnected systems<\/h2>\n

Does this sound familiar? A salesperson wins a deal, logs it in the CRM, emails the accountant \u2014 or creates an invoice manually in a second system \u2014 and hopes all the details are correct. The accountant creates a customer record in Procountor. About one in five times, something goes wrong: the name doesn’t match, the address is old, the reference number is missing.<\/p>\n

This isn’t an edge case. This is the norm in Finnish companies with 5\u201350 employees.<\/p>\n

Duplicate maintenance isn’t just slow \u2014 it’s expensive. If transferring data takes 20 minutes per deal and a company closes 30 deals a month, that’s 10 hours a month spent on copying. Ten hours that could be spent on actual customer work.<\/p>\n

\n

What unifying finance and sales actually delivers<\/h2>\n

When Procountor and the CRM talk to each other, the practical benefits fall into three categories:<\/p>\n

Speed<\/h3>\n

An invoice is generated minutes after a deal is won, not days later. The customer doesn’t wait. Cash flow improves.<\/p>\n

Accuracy<\/h3>\n

Customer name, business ID, address and payment terms come from the registry \u2014 not from the salesperson’s memory. The number of invoice errors drops dramatically.<\/p>\n

Visibility<\/h3>\n

Salespeople can see directly in the CRM whether a customer has paid their last invoice. Previously, this required calling the accountant or sending an email. Both sides work smarter, not more.<\/p>\n

\n

Procountor API basics \u2014 what the integration actually does<\/h2>\n

Procountor provides a REST-based API that allows external systems to read and write data. Building the integration yourself is possible but requires technical knowledge of OAuth 2.0 authentication and Procountor’s data model.<\/p>\n

For an SME, three core API capabilities matter:<\/p>\n

Customer registry<\/strong>: Fetch, create and update customer data. When a new customer is won in the CRM, the integration first checks whether the customer already exists in Procountor by business ID \u2014 and only creates a new record if one is missing.<\/p>\n

Sales invoice<\/strong>: Create an invoice draft with deal data. The Procountor API accepts invoice line items, payment terms, reference numbers and a PDF generation command.<\/p>\n

Payment status<\/strong>: Retrieve invoice payment status. This data can be returned to the CRM so salespeople see overdue accounts before their next contact.<\/p>\n

Resappi’s integration is built on top of these three core capabilities. See the technical integration documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Practical use cases<\/h2>\n

Case 1: Invoicing directly from a won deal<\/h3>\n

A salesperson marks a deal as “Won” in Resappi’s CRM. The system asks: “Create invoice?” \u2014 or creates it automatically if the company has configured it that way. The invoice opens in Procountor pre-filled with:<\/p>\n
