Executive summary
A multi-entity housing developer modernized finance operations by moving to Oracle ERP Cloud while retaining critical feeder systems. Finance1 delivered 34 integrations (22 inbound, 12 outbound), implemented governed Chart of Accounts mapping, and operationalized monitoring to reduce cutover risk and eliminate manual rework during month-end and project reporting.
Customer profile
The customer develops and manages housing projects across multiple entities. Finance and project teams relied on a mix of planning, rental, and property management systems, creating a high integration footprint and complex accounting dimensions.
Starting point: what was hard
- Integration sprawl: point-to-point interfaces were fragile and expensive to maintain as vendors and schemas changed.
- Cutover risk: the move to Oracle ERP Cloud required reliable inbound loads and controlled outbound publishing to downstream systems.
- COA complexity: legacy Chart of Accounts did not align to the new Oracle COA; mapping needed to be repeatable, testable, and governed.
- Operations visibility: integration failures were often discovered late, without clear root cause or ownership.
What they integrated
Key feeder systems
- TM1 / IBM Planning Analytics for budgeting, forecasting, and financial plans
- OpenRent for rental and tenant operational feeds
- Yardi for property operations and accounting signals
- Additional construction and portfolio feeder systems (e.g., project cost, vendor, and billing feeds)
Integration scope
- Inbound to Oracle ERP Cloud: 22 integrations
- Outbound from Oracle: 12 integrations
- COA mapping: Legacy-to-new COA mapping with rule governance
- Total integrations delivered: 34 integrations
Target architecture (how it works)
MuleSoft as middleware backbone
MuleSoft provides enterprise integration platform capabilities (API management, integration, hybrid connectivity).
Finance1 as the transformation and integration service layer
Finance1 service acts as a transformer and canonical model layer that:
- Normalizes feeder formats (AP/AR/job cost/rent/budget structures)
- Applies validation, enrichment, and data quality rules
- Executes Chart of Accounts mapping rules
- Produces Oracle-ready payloads and outbound canonical events
Oracle ERP Cloud integration patterns
For bulk financial loads, Oracle commonly uses File-Based Data Import (FBDI) and ERP integration services such as importBulkData.
Chart of Accounts mapping can be governed through Oracle's Chart of Accounts Mapping page and mapping rules (segment and account rules).
Monitoring and operations
- Integration health dashboards and proactive alerting
- Standard error routing with clear ownership across source systems, Finance1, MuleSoft, and Oracle
- Repeatable runbooks for reruns, retries, and reconciliation
Delivered outcomes
- 34 total integrations delivered (22 inbound and 12 outbound) using reusable patterns rather than one-off builds.
- COA mapping governance transitioned from spreadsheets to controlled mapping rules aligned to Oracle COA mapping constructs.
- Operational reliability improved through monitoring, standard retries, and consistent transformation logic.
- Commercial simplicity: $2,500 per month for unlimited integrations to/from Oracle ERP Cloud.
Why it matters for construction and housing developers
Construction and property finance is integration-heavy: project cost, commitments, progress billing, retention, subcontractor payments, rent events, budget revisions, and multi-entity reporting. A managed integration approach reduces manual reconciliations and protects close and project reporting from interface failures.
Customer quote (optional)
"We stopped treating integrations like custom projects and started operating them like a managed product, with repeatable patterns, governed COA mapping, and visible operations."
