Systems Integrations
With the integration of third-party applications or software that has an API, businesses can seamlessly incorporate their CRM, warehouse, or accounting applications with their website, improving efficiency and reducing the chances of human errors.

Warehouse management systems integrated with ERPs, such as Sage, Orderwise, NetSuite, and Pegasus Opera, offer a convenient solution to manage stock levels and notify the warehouse immediately when orders are placed. Real-time updates ensure that the system’s information is always current, meaning that there is never a risk of over-ordering.

Sage and Xero are examples of software that can be integrated with your website for easier bookkeeping and accounting. Instead of forcing your bookkeepers and accountants to learn how to use your website, you can integrate the software they are already familiar with. This way, they can print reports and view orders without having to navigate through a new program. By integrating software with your website, you can streamline your business processes and reduce the time and effort needed to manage your finances.
Automated delivery cost calculations

As an online retailer, it’s important to ensure that you charge the correct delivery fees at checkout to protect your margins and ensure a positive customer experience. By obtaining real-time rates directly from couriers such as DHL, DPD, FedEx, and UPS, you can present your customers with accurate shipping costs based on their location and order details. This not only ensures that you’re covering your costs but also helps to build trust with your customers by providing transparent pricing.
Marketing

Marketing APIs enable businesses to better understand their customers by gathering customer data from various sources and consolidating it into a centralized database. This information can be used to create tailored marketing campaigns that are designed to resonate with specific groups of customers, driving engagement and revenue. APIs allow for the integration of data from external sources, such as social media profiles or demographic information, into the customer database, providing a more comprehensive understanding of customer behavior.
API or Application Programming Interface is a tool that enables the interaction of two or more applications. It serves as a mediator between the applications and helps them exchange information in the form of calls, requests, and posts. The use of an API eliminates the need for human involvement in this communication process, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of the data transfer.
Integrating a website with other applications boosts efficiency and productivity, preventing errors. Using an API facilitates instant communication, enabling informationsharing. Updating stock counts, filing orders and invoices & incorporating VAT details become automatic when integrating a website with_stock/ accounts application. Whether automating repeat-customer details for recognition or streamlining business processes, integration allows businesses to improve customer service and reliability.
Integration benefits businesses in three key ways: time-saving and error prevention, freeing up employees to focus on growth tasks, and reducing accountant fees. It eliminates manual data entry, allowing seamless transfer of information between applications to prevent mistakes, wasted time, and data leaks.
The value of web-based integration lies in saving time and improving accuracy, so it’s important to ensure that the integration is actually contributing to the business in some way. If it doesn’t save time or provide some other benefit, then there’s no point in doing it. Ultimately, the decision to integrate should be based on a careful evaluation of the costs, benefits, and potential risks involved.
If you have questions regarding specific applications or integrating them with your system, it would be best to reach out to the application provider directly. They will be able to give you information regarding their API usage and any associated fees. It’s also worth noting that some companies may offer a certain number of API calls for free, while others may require additional payment. As a general point of reference, we have experience in integrating many different applications and can offer guidance on which ones may be suitable for your needs.
