Clarity Connect integration
Microsoft Dynamics SL Integration
Connect Microsoft Dynamics SL to the store, CRM and payment systems around it, and keep customer, order and invoice data consistent through SL's final supported years.
What Dynamics SL integration covers
Microsoft describes Dynamics SL as an ERP that combines project and financial management, used in construction, government contracting, professional services, engineering and non-profit work. Integration links SL to the systems your clients and staff use day to day, so accounts, orders, invoices and payments don't have to be entered twice. Clarity Connect handles the transfers, live or on a schedule.

How an SL integration runs
Start with discovery, not a template
SL installations differ in version, modules and add-ons, so a Clarity business analyst first documents which SL data each system needs and how it should be reached. Connect can work through a database, files, web services or an API, and discovery picks the method your SL installation supports.
Two-way, on your schedule
Orders and payments can flow into SL as they happen, while customer balances, invoices and project figures come back on a timetable you choose. Each flow is a separate task you can switch on, pause or re-run.
SL behind your firewall
When SL runs on your own servers, Connect is installed inside the same network and reaches out only to the cloud systems it serves, so SL isn't opened to the internet.

Dynamics SL's support timeline
Extended support for Dynamics SL 2018, which provides security updates, ends on July 11, 2028. On January 15, 2030, Service Plan coverage for SL ends, existing SL systems can no longer add perpetual users, and subscription use through SPLA licensing is expected to end. Microsoft suggests SL customers consider moving to Dynamics 365 Business Central online.
An integration doesn't have to be thrown away at that point. If the store, CRM and gateway flows are mapped clearly now, the same tasks can be pointed at Business Central later; see our Dynamics 365 integration page.
How Clarity Connect runs it
Clarity builds SL projects on Clarity Connect, its integration platform, which maintains a persistent, two-way connection between SL and each linked application and runs an unlimited number of tasks, each in real time or on a schedule. Because the platform is asynchronous, data in transfer isn't lost when one side is offline.
Discovery
A Clarity business analyst documents the data fields and workflows each system can share and which ones you need.
Tasks and mapping
Each flow becomes a Connect task, such as orders to the ERP or stock to the store, set to run in real time or on a schedule.
Testing
Orders and updates are run end to end, including the return trip of statuses back to the customer-facing system.
Live, with a dashboard
Queues and scheduled tasks show in Connect's Hangfire dashboard. A job whose target is offline is retried 10 times, every 30 minutes, and can be re-queued once the cause is fixed.
Clarity Connect is sold as a SaaS subscription at $599 a month or as a one-time license at $15,000 with no ongoing fees, and larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.
Questions
Is Microsoft Dynamics SL still supported?
Yes, until July 11, 2028, when extended support for Dynamics SL 2018 ends. Microsoft suggests SL customers consider Dynamics 365 Business Central online.
How does Clarity Connect reach Dynamics SL?
It depends on your SL version and add-ons. Connect can use a database, files, web services or an API, and discovery confirms which one fits your installation before anything is built.
Can the integration move with us to Business Central?
The flows can. The store, CRM and gateway side stays as it is, and the SL connection is replaced by a Business Central one.
How much does Clarity Connect cost?
$599 a month as SaaS, or a $15,000 one-time license with no ongoing fees. Larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.
