Without a proper integration, data exchange means: export, e-mail, import, hope. Off-the-shelf connectors do not know your special case.
Two systems dock together
What is included
Integration services at a glance
Connection of existing APIs
Custom integrations, where none exists ready-made
Error handling with logging
Typical routes: Shop ↔ ERP, ERP ↔ DATEV
Your own API for partners and portals
Monitoring & maintenance
This is how a good integration works
The failure case is planned for too.
SHOPOrder #4711
ERPOrder created
Every data packet is checked and confirmed. If something goes wrong, the integration retries and reports back.
TRANSFER LOG
09:41:02 Order #4711 received ✓
09:41:02 Fields checked (total, VAT, address) ✓
09:41:03 ERP unreachable – retry 2 in 30 s
09:41:33 Order created in the ERP ✓
09:41:33 Check: 1/1 transferred, 0 open ✓
How it works
To a stable data route in three steps.
Step 1Define the data route
Which data, where to, how often – and what happens if something fails.
Step 2Build & test
We build and test with simulated outages.
Step 3Go live & monitor
You can see at any time what has been transferred and what is still open.
The technical view
Direct connection or middleware.
The rule of thumb
For one or two data routes a direct connection is enough. From around three systems a middleware hub pays off.
The failure case
A good integration proves itself when something goes wrong. It retries, flags gaps and logs every packet.
The API change
If a provider changes its API, it only affects the connection, not your processes. Monitoring spots it before anything fails.
Common questions
Integrations – what managing directors ask us.
There is no ready-made connector for our two systems – what now?
Then we build the data route: if both systems have an API, that is routine. If one has none, we check alternatives – automated export/import, a database connection or, in an emergency, robot-assisted transfer. Which of those carries we tell you in advance.
What happens if the connection fails – is data then lost?
No – that is exactly why we build in retry logic and queues: packets that cannot be delivered stay put and are retried automatically. You can see at any time in the log what is outstanding. Losing things silently is the one error we rule out by construction.
How fast is data transferred – real time or an overnight sync?
Both are possible, and the answer is: not everything needs real time. Orders yes, statistics no. We define per data route what it needs – real time by webhook or a scheduled sync – and save complexity and cost.
Who owns the integration, and who maintains it?
Yours. The code sits in your accounts, documented and transferable. We are glad to take on maintenance by contract – but we need not: any capable developer can work on from the documentation. No dependency trap.
What if a provider changes its API version?
That happens – which is why we encapsulate the connection, monitor announcements and error rates and follow versions in a controlled way. With a maintenance contract this happens before you notice anything.
How secure is the transfer?
Encrypted transfer, access with the minimum necessary rights, processing preferably in the EU – and no customer data via US services without your explicit consent. The log stores metadata, not unnecessary content.
