Integrations & APIs

Make the systems you already own talk to each other, so people stop being the integration layer.

When your staff are the integration layer

Almost every business runs several systems that were never designed to know about each other: an accounting package, a CRM, a payment provider, a supplier portal, a couple of spreadsheets. The gaps between them get filled by people copying data across.

That is expensive and it is where errors come from. It also caps how fast you can grow, because volume increases the copying rather than absorbing it.

What you get

The deliverables, specifically.

A working data flow

Records moving between your systems automatically, on a schedule or as events happen, with the mapping rules written down rather than held in someone's memory.

Error handling that tells you

Integrations fail. Networks drop, formats change, providers have outages. What matters is that failures are visible, retried where safe, and never silently swallowed.

APIs your partners can actually use

If you need to expose your own service, a documented, versioned, authenticated API rather than an undocumented endpoint and a phone call.

No lock-in to us

Standard patterns, standard protocols, documented. Another engineer can pick it up.

How it runs

From first call to handover.

01

Map the flows

What data needs to move, in which direction, how often, and what has to be true for it to be correct.

02

Check what is possible

Every system has limits: rate caps, missing fields, no API at all. We find those before designing around them, not after.

03

Build and instrument

The integration, plus the logging and alerting that tells you when it stops working.

04

Run it in parallel

Where the risk warrants it, the new flow runs alongside the manual one until you trust it.

Is this the right piece of work?

A good fit when

  • The same data gets typed into more than one system
  • Month-end depends on someone exporting and reformatting files
  • You need to give a client or supplier programmatic access to your service

We will say no when

  • The underlying systems are about to be replaced. Integrate after, not before.
  • There is genuinely no interface and no database access. Sometimes the honest answer is that it cannot be done cleanly.

The founder's background is in enterprise integration: event-driven systems on Kafka, and REST and SOAP interfaces between large systems in banking, health insurance and pan-African payments. That experience comes from employment and consulting engagements, not from Samloryx client work.

Other ways we help

AI & Automation Roadmap Sprint

A fixed-scope piece of work that tells you where automation actually pays in your business, and where it does not.

Custom Business Systems

Software built around how your team actually works, rather than a package everyone has to bend around.

Legacy Modernisation

Bring an ageing system into the present without stopping the business that depends on it.

Retained Technical Partner

Senior engineering and architecture available every month, without carrying the cost of a permanent hire.

Not sure this is the right starting point?

A short call costs nothing and usually makes the answer obvious. If a different piece of work suits you better, we will say so.
