MODE 01 · MANUAL
CSV import
VIN master loaded by file. No ERP connection. Ideal for pilot or environments without technical access.
Setup

Minimal
Four integration modes (from manual import to full bidirectional), a conflict matrix that decides per field who wins, and a multi-connector framework ready to add new ERPs without touching code.
Each mode is a configuration, not a product fork. Migrating from Mode 2 to Mode 3 is changing a policy in /settings/erp, not a project.

MODE 04 · BIDIRECTIONAL
StockTech writes to the ERP with transactional outbound queue, retry and audit. For national groups / OEM policy.

80% of clients start in Mode 2 (read-only) during the pilot, migrate to Mode 3 (hybrid) at go-live and reserve Mode 4 (bidirectional) for later phases once there's confidence in the policy matrix.
The classic conflict: the ERP says the VIN was sold, but the floor has it in maintenance. The per-field matrix automatically decides, in each case, which source prevails — versioned in code, not in email.
Inbound and outbound queues, versioned transformations per connector profile, retry with exponential backoff, dead-letter for manual cases, and full audit per VIN and per event.
