Custom systems

Enter it once, and every system has it

A company entering an order into the store, then stock, then accounting is not only paying in time. It is paying in disagreement: three numbers for one order, and nobody sure which is right.

Connections

What we usually connect

Systems you already run, not a new one.

Commerce and operations

  • The store to branch and warehouse stock
  • The store to couriers and order tracking
  • Point of sale to stock and accounting
  • The website to your CRM and lead flow
  • WhatsApp Business to the ticket system

Finance and admin

  • Sales to invoicing and journal entries
  • Bank statements to automatic reconciliation
  • Attendance to the payroll run
  • Purchase orders to goods receipt
  • Reports to their original data sources

Design

Every connection needs one answer: who owns the truth

What breaks integrations most often is both systems being able to edit the same field. Then whoever wrote last wins, and data appears to swing for no visible reason. We name one system as the source for each field, and every other system reads from it.

What we fix into every integration

One approved source per field
A retry when a connection fails
A log of every transfer and its result
An immediate alert when a link goes down
A rate limit protecting both ends
A sandbox before anything goes live

Failures

What happens when a connection fails

Three behaviours defined in advance.

Retrying

Spaced attempts rather than a single try, because most failures are temporary and clear within minutes.

A queue

What failed waits in a queue and resends itself on recovery, instead of disappearing without trace and being noticed a week later.

Alerting and escalation

An immediate notice to someone who can act, not an email reaching a shared inbox two days later.

Questions

About integrations

What if our system has no API?
We look for an alternative: a scheduled export, a direct database read, or a middleware layer. If none exists we set that out clearly rather than building something brittle that breaks at the first update.
Will an integration slow our systems?
We run it in the background under a rate limit, so users are unaffected. Real-time syncing is used only where it is genuinely required, not on every field.
Who owns the connections after handover?
You do, with the code, the documentation and the access keys in your company name. We keep no standing access unless you ask for it under a support contract.
