API integrations that get your software talking to each other.

I connect the programs you use every day, such as your management system, the CRM where you track customers, your online shop, Gmail, Outlook and Google Drive, through their APIs. An API is the door a program uses to exchange data with another one. Orders, customers and documents then move between systems on their own.

When is it worth connecting your software?

You usually notice because someone in the company spends hours moving data from one screen to another.

  • Every order from the online shop has to be typed into the management system or the invoicing software.

  • The same customer exists in three different programs, with three different email addresses.

  • Attachments arrive in Gmail or Outlook and someone saves them to Drive one by one.

  • To get a report you export files from several systems and stitch them together in Excel by hand.

What the integration includes

I look after the connection from start to finish, from mapping the data to keeping an eye on it over time.

  • Data map

    Before writing any code we look at which data moves, where it starts and where it lands. That is how we decide which system is the reference for customers, products and orders.

  • ERP and CRM connections

    I connect your ERP, the management system that holds orders, stock and invoices, and your CRM to the other tools you use, so every piece of data is entered only once.

  • Email and documents

    Gmail, Outlook and Google Drive can sort messages, file attachments in the right folder and create reminders without anyone doing it by hand.

  • Payments and external services

    I integrate online payments with Stripe, AI tools such as OpenAI and Gemini, and any other external service your workflow needs.

  • Checks and errors

    If a system does not respond, the connection tries again and alerts you instead of silently losing data. Every step is logged, so you can always see what happened.

  • Documentation and handover

    You get a clear explanation of how each connection works, along with access and code. If you switch software one day, you know exactly what to change.

How I work on an integration

I start from the way you work today. You show me the programs you use and the steps done by hand, and together we choose which connection to tackle first, usually the one that costs you the most time.

Then I check what each system’s API allows, build the connection and test it with real data in a test environment. We switch it on once the figures add up, and I keep a close eye on it for the first few weeks.

Timeline

How long does an API integration take?

It depends on how many systems we connect and how well their APIs are documented. Linking two widely used services can be done quickly, while an older management system or one without public APIs needs more analysis. Once I have seen the systems, I give you a precise timeline in the quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about API integrations

Ask me your question

  • It is the way a program makes its data and functions available to other programs, following precise rules. Thanks to APIs your online shop can send an order to the management system the moment the customer pays, with nobody stepping in.

  • It happens, especially with older software. In many cases we can work with automatic file exports or direct access to the database, always with the supplier’s permission. If no option is reliable, I tell you straight away, before we start.

  • For simple links between popular services, tools like n8n, Zapier or Make are often the quickest and cheapest choice. When there is a lot of data, the rules are complex or the connection is central to your work, a custom integration pays off. I recommend the route that fits, and sometimes we combine the two.

  • Yes. I use encrypted connections and access keys with only the permissions they need, and I store as little as possible. All access stays in your hands and can be revoked at any time.

  • Suppliers update their APIs and sometimes change the rules. That is why the connection checks for errors and alerts you, and I can take care of maintenance so the integration keeps working after every update.
