Creating API links that make your systems work together

Your organisation uses multiple systems. An ERP, a CRM, an external database, a certification register. If those systems don't talk to each other, you lose time manually transferring data and make mistakes you don't want to make.

We build API links that connect your systems seamlessly. Safe, reliable and scalable. With extensive logging and error handling so you always know it's up and running.

An API connection is the right solution if:

• Your team is losing time manually transferring data between systems
• Your website or application needs to be fed from an external system such as an ERP or CRM
• You need a verification system where external parties provide data
• You have multiple systems that need to communicate with each other in real time
• You want orders, user data or product information to be automatically synchronised

We have extensive experience with various types of links:

ERP links We link web applications and web shops to ERP systems such as All Solutions, AFAS and Exact. Product data, customer information and orders flow automatically between your website and your back office.

API integrations with external platforms We link to external services and platforms via REST APIs. From payment providers such as Mollie to certification services, calendar systems and content sources.

Certification and verification registries We build systems where certifying bodies securely submit data via a secure API. With extensive validation, logging and fallbacks so that the data is always reliable.

CSV imports as fallback Not every party has the technical capacity to use an API. We always build a CSV import option as an alternative delivery method, so that less technical parties can also connect.

Webhooks and real-time synchronisation For processes that need to work real-time, we build webhooks so that systems respond immediately to events in another system.

An API link that sometimes does not work is worse than no link. That is why we always build with:

Comprehensive logging Every import, every synchronisation and every error is logged. You and we can always see what happened.

Error handling and notifications If an import fails, you know immediately. We build in error messages and notifications so that problems are noticed and solved quickly.

Queue systems for large imports For large amounts of data, we build in an import queue so that data is processed in a structured and manageable way without overloading the server.

Fallback mechanisms If an external API is temporarily unavailable, our system catches it so that data is not lost.

Inventory Which systems need to be linked? What are the technical capabilities of each system? What are the wishes of all parties involved? We take a thorough inventory before we start.

Architecture Based on the inventory, we determine the optimal architecture. Which system sends, which system receives, how is data validated and what happens if something goes wrong?

Construction and documentation We build the link and write documentation so that other parties know how to connect. We have experience in interviewing certification bodies and other involved parties about their requirements and technical possibilities.

Testing We test the link thoroughly with realistic data before going live.

After going live We actively monitor the link and are quickly available if something goes wrong.

TopCrop / BO Akkerbouw Verification platform for the national certification register of Dutch arable farming. More than 20,000 records. Certifying bodies provide data via a secure API. Parties without API capability use a CSV upload. Publicly searchable by name and Chamber of Commerce number.

CED Group Full ERP link via All Solutions for an e-commerce platform with thousands of transactions per month. Robust import queue with extensive logging and fallbacks. The backbone of their online sales for years.

Yes. We write API documentation so that other parties know how to connect to your system. We are experienced in interviewing external parties about their technical requirements and capabilities.
