03 · Systems integration

You may not need new software. You may need the software you have to agree.

Every business above a certain size is paying for a CRM, an accounting package, a project tool and a scheduling system that each hold a slightly different version of the same customer. The reconciliation is being done by a person.

How it works

We connect the systems worth keeping, replace the ones holding you back, and build the operational layer that should exist between them and does not. The goal is one shared reality: a customer means the same thing in every tool that mentions one.

This is unglamorous work and it is where most of the value sits. The efficiency gain from each individual tool gets consumed by the coordination overhead of running all of them together — and that overhead grows faster than the business does.

It is also the precondition for everything else. AI applied on top of systems that disagree produces confident answers from incoherent data, which is worse than no answer at all.

What you get

Concrete things, not a retainer.

  • Systems integration

    The tools worth keeping, wired together so they agree.

  • Accounting and billing

    Your finance stack fed by the work itself, not by month-end data entry.

  • The missing middle

    The operational layer that should exist between two systems and does not.

  • Data migration

    Getting history out of the system you are leaving, intact.

  • One reporting surface

    Numbers assembled once, rather than exported from four places.

  • Exception surfacing

    Problems raised while there is still time to act on them.

How we run it

  1. 01MapWhat actually exchanges data today, and which gaps a person is currently closing.
  2. 02ConnectThe systems worth keeping, integrated around one shared definition of the core entities.
  3. 03ObserveMonitoring, so a sync that silently stops is noticed by software rather than by a customer.

This is for you if

  • You are paying for tools that do not talk to each other
  • Someone reconciles two systems by hand every week
  • Reporting requires exporting from several places first
  • The same customer exists three times under three spellings
  • You are considering a rebuild when a connection might do

What this is not

  • Replacing tools that are working fine
  • An integration platform subscription in place of a decision
  • Syncing two systems that disagree about what a customer is — that is a modelling problem first

Where we have done this

One shipped system that used it.

Questions we get

Can you work with our existing stack?
Almost always. We would rather connect a tool your team already knows than migrate them onto one they do not.
Is this cheaper than building something new?
Usually, and it is the first thing we check. Discovery often ends with a recommendation to connect rather than build, which is a smaller invoice for us and the right answer for you.
What if a vendor has no API?
Then we say so early, and we look at what else can carry the data. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that the tool has to go.
The efficiency gain from each individual tool is entirely consumed by the coordination overhead of running all of them together. That is application slop, and it compounds.
