Monitor your ERP syncs — catch integration failures before they cascade
When your ERP integration silently fails, orders go missing, inventory goes out of sync, and financial reports become unreliable. Cronping monitors every sync job and alerts your team before the impact reaches the business.
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
async function syncOrdersFromERP() {
await pullOrdersFromSAP();
await transformAndValidate();
await pushToDatabase();
// Ping Cronping on successful sync
await fetch("https://ping.cronping.com/YOUR_TOKEN");
}
syncOrdersFromERP().catch(async (err) => {
console.error("ERP sync failed:", err);
// Signal explicit failure
await fetch("https://ping.cronping.com/YOUR_TOKEN/fail");
});One line added to your script. Cronping handles the rest.
The cost of silent failures
Silent data divergence
Your ERP and application drift out of sync for hours or days. Nobody notices until a customer reports a wrong order, or the accounts don't reconcile.
API rate limit failures
The ERP API throttles your requests. The sync fails without raising an error. Your application keeps running on stale data from the last successful sync.
Schema changes break syncs
An ERP vendor update silently renames a field. Your sync runs, processes zero records, and exits successfully. The integration is broken — invisibly.
Missed compliance windows
Financial data that must be synced before end-of-business isn't. Nobody knows until audit time — when it's far too late to fix easily.
Set up in under 2 minutes
- 1
Create a heartbeat per integration
Define a heartbeat for each sync job — "SAP Orders Sync", "Inventory Sync", "GL Export". Set the expected schedule and grace period.
- 2
Add the ping to your sync code
Call the Cronping URL at the end of a successful sync. On errors, call /fail explicitly. Any language that makes HTTP requests works.
- 3
Get alerted on failures or delays
If a sync misses its window or signals failure, your team is notified immediately — before the data divergence causes business impact.
Everything you need
No SDK, no dashboard agent, no infrastructure to manage.
Works with any ERP
SAP, Oracle, TOTVS, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, custom-built ERPs — any system where you control the sync job can be monitored.
Failure vs. late detection
Know whether a sync "didn't run" vs "ran and failed". Use /fail for explicit errors and /start to track long-running syncs.
Grace periods
Tolerate variable sync durations without false alarms. Only alert when the job is genuinely overdue.
90-day run history
Full audit trail of every sync execution. Useful for compliance reviews, incident analysis, and SLA reporting.
Multi-channel alerts
Alert the ERP team via Slack, your ops team via PagerDuty, and the business via email — all from the same heartbeat.
Timezone-aware scheduling
Financial close happens at end-of-business in your timezone. Cronping understands timezones so your alerts reflect local business time.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. If your integration platform supports post-flow HTTP calls or execution hooks, point them at your Cronping heartbeat URL. Alternatively, wrap the integration trigger in a script that pings Cronping on completion.
Create a separate heartbeat for each sync frequency — a hourly heartbeat for inventory, a daily heartbeat for GL exports. Each gets independent scheduling, grace periods, and alerting.
If the sync job can't start at all (e.g., the ERP is unreachable), it simply won't ping Cronping. The heartbeat will miss its window and you'll be alerted — which is exactly what you want.
Add validation at the end of your sync job. If the record count doesn't match expectations or data validation fails, call /fail instead of the success ping.
As long as the container or VM has outbound HTTPS access, the job can call ping.cronping.com. This works with any execution environment — bare metal, VMs, Docker, Kubernetes jobs, or managed task runners.
Stop discovering failures when it's too late.
