Services | System integration

Connect your software applications. Automate your business.

Bridging the gap between siloed systems.

What is system integration?

System integration is the job of linking up separate software and hardware so that they work together as one system.

Think of it as making your business tools talk to each other.

Why integrate?

Having joined up systems will save you time and money. See how:

Save time by linking your business software

How much time does your business waste entering the same information into different systems?

How much time does your business waste checking that your data matches, and working out which value is correct?

You can eliminate all this duplicated effort from your business by feeding information automatically from one system to the next.

Improve confidence in your data

Be confident when reporting from your systems.

Because you have one linked up system, there is only one "source of truth".

Use the best systems for your business

Don't compromise on computer systems that are good at one thing, but bad at others.

Don't buy a massive (expensive!) suite of tools that does everything passably well. Instead, give yourself a competitive advantage by investing in best-of-breed systems and then linking them together to form your own unique business system.

Let each department benefit from the best computer system for their needs. Get the best accounting system for your business, the best quoting, the best procurement, the best CRM (Customer Relationship Management), the best stock control… or whatever your business needs.

Build value

Build a company that you can be proud of.

Efficient businesses make more money. They also sell for more money.

If you are planning to sell your business at any point in the future, then invest in good systems now.

Business system integration examples

The possibilities are endless.  We know your business will have unique requirements, but here are a few common scenarios to get your mind racing.

Synchronise

Feed data from one system to another to save time and eliminate errors. Automatically update your accounts with data from your stock system, for example.

Integrate

View data from one system in another system e.g. view customers balances in your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

Collaborate

Link your systems with third-party data, such as credit reference agencies to get an up-to-the-minute view of your customers.

Populate

Capture information from external sources, such as Royal Mail® or Companies House to speed up customer on-boarding.

Geolocate

Include location data or integrate with maps to allow your staff to plan their travel between customers.

Automate

Automate labour intensive tasks, such as data entry and re-keying.
