APIs & system integration

When systems do not talk to each other, people do the talking for them. We connect your applications through their APIs so data moves consistently and exceptions are handled, not hidden.

What this covers

System integration links two or more applications so that data created in one becomes available in another, in the right format and at the right time. The work covers the technical connection, the mapping between fields, the access credentials and the checks that keep data consistent.

Where it helps

  • Orders, customers or products are entered twice in different systems.
  • A platform update means hours of manual export and import.
  • Data in one system no longer matches the other and nobody knows which is right.
  • A new tool needs to fit into an existing setup without replacing it.

What you receive

  • A review of the available APIs, formats and platform permissions.
  • Field mapping and transformation rules agreed with your team.
  • Configured authentication with access limited to what the integration needs.
  • Validation and exception handling for records that do not fit the rules.
  • Integration tests and documentation of the connections in scope.

Good to know

What is possible depends on the APIs each platform provides and the permissions available on your accounts. We confirm this early, before any commitment to a particular approach.

The approach

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Understand & define

    Review your current setup, identify the problem and agree on requirements, deliverables and responsibilities.

  2. 02

    Design & connect

    Plan the workflow, configure the systems and implement the integrations needed for the agreed scope.

  3. 03

    Test & hand over

    Validate the implementation, review exception handling and provide the documentation your team needs.

  4. 04

    Monitor & refine

    Where ongoing support is agreed, review system behaviour, investigate issues and improve the setup over time.

What could work better?

Tell us which tools you use and what is slowing your team down. We can then discuss the requirements and outline an appropriate next step.
