How to Build: ERP Data Triage Mesh

The Opportunity

A real-time data quality and remediation layer that sits between upstream systems and your ERP. It enforces schema contracts, validates business semantics (e.g., closed periods, currency/FX rules, vendor master completeness), quarantines bad records, auto-fixes common issues, and shows the blast radius of any bad data before it hits the ERP. Human-in-the-loop Slack/Teams approvals let ops resolve exceptions in minutes. Includes lineage, rollback, and a safe circuit-breaker that halts corrupt loads without stopping healthy data flows.

Why This Idea Works Now

Bad ERP data freezes order-to-cash and procure-to-pay; every hour of blockage costs cash and reputation.
