Automate — Integrations

Make your systems talk to each other.

Businesses rarely run on one system. There’s a CRM, an accounting package, a store, a scheduling tool, a spreadsheet somebody built in 2019, and at least one process that exists only because two of them don’t talk. Connecting them is usually the cheapest large improvement available.

Automate
  • Less copying. Less manual work. Fewer disconnected systems.
  • Built with error handling, retries and monitoring
  • We work with the systems you have, not the ones we’d prefer

What we connect

CRMs

Leads, contacts, deals and activity flowing in from your website, ads, store and inbox — deduplicated and assigned.

ERPs & accounting

Orders, invoices, products and stock kept consistent between commercial and financial systems.

APIs & third-party platforms

Supplier feeds, carriers, payment providers, marketplaces, booking systems and industry-specific tools.

Databases

Consolidating data from several sources into one place that can actually be queried and reported on.

Internal applications

The custom tools you already run, given proper interfaces instead of manual exports.

Analytics

Server-side events and consistent identifiers, so your reporting reflects reality rather than blocked scripts.

The parts that make integrations fail

Connecting two APIs on a good day is straightforward. Integrations fail on the bad days — when a provider is down, a record is malformed, a rate limit is hit, or the same order arrives twice. If none of that is handled, you end up with a system that’s trusted right up until the moment it isn’t.

We build integrations that are boring on purpose: idempotent, observable, and safe to re-run.

  • Retries with backoff, and a dead-letter path for what still fails
  • Idempotency, so a repeated message doesn’t duplicate a record
  • Field mapping and validation agreed with the people who use the data
  • Conflict rules — which system wins when both changed
  • Monitoring and alerts that name the failing record
  • A log you can look at when someone asks why a number is wrong

How we approach an integration

  1. 1Audit the systems
  2. 2Agree the data contract
  3. 3Build & handle failure
  4. 4Backfill & reconcile
  5. 5Go live
  6. 6Monitor

Questions people ask

Can you connect a system that has no public API?

Often, yes. Options include scheduled file exchange, direct database access with a read-only view, a vendor-provided integration layer, or an export-import bridge. Each has trade-offs in reliability and latency, and we’ll be straight about them before you commit.

Should we use an integration platform instead?

Sometimes that’s exactly right — if a ready-made connector exists for both systems and your logic is simple, a platform is faster and cheaper. Custom becomes the better option with high volumes, unusual mapping rules, strict reliability requirements, or per-operation pricing that becomes expensive at your scale.

How do you handle historical data?

With a backfill and a reconciliation step. We migrate the existing records, then compare both systems and report the differences rather than assuming the migration was perfect.

What happens if a provider changes their API?

Versioned APIs give notice; some providers give less. We isolate provider-specific code so a change affects one layer, monitor for failures, and include integration maintenance in ongoing arrangements.
