Integrations

Transform your software stack into the ultimate asset by building custom integrations that connect all critical systems.

Let's Talk

What are software integrations?

Software systems today consist of different programs and platforms; sometimes, we want those programs and platforms to share information. To make that happen, software developers build integrations, also known as application programming interfaces (APIs), which allow different systems to communicate and share data.

Why should I integrate software?

When programs and platforms are not communicating through an integration, users waste a lot of time manually entering data into each system, which can also risk costly data errors. Integrating business-critical systems allows you to automate data entry updates in all necessary systems. Doing so reduces errors, saves valuable time, and provides customers with faster and more accurate service.

Why should I design integrations?

You can purchase pre-made integrations for some of your software but will face limited functionality. Additionally, there aren’t always pre-made integrations available for your specific software, and creating custom integrations will prove a faster and more cost-effective solution for your business.Before you buy or build any integration, we highly recommend that you speak to an expert to ensure the integration you want is the one you need. Our team at Steelhead Software excels at building custom integrations that bridge the gaps between software systems. We are happy to discuss your tech stack and how integrations can optimize your business.

What system integration should I get?

When deciding which systems to integrate, we recommend asking the following question: What business value will this integration deliver?

While it seems like a great idea to have all of your software systems communicate with one another, that may not be necessary or entirely beneficial for your company. Consider the following graph that highlights the potential business value you can gain through integrating specific systems:

Software Integration Type	Business Value
Legacy Software Integrations	Instead of getting rid of your core on-premises systems, legacy integrations allow you to transfer your data into more modern software programs, allowing you to take full advantage of the latest innovations and get more ROI out of your existing stack.
Accounting Integrations	Data from your e-commerce storefronts and CRMs is a crucial part of your accounting processes, so integrating those systems with your accounting software (such as QuickBooks™) ensures the accurate and timely transfer of data.
SaaS Integrations	Many of our modern business processes take place on SaaS platforms, and the ability to integrate that data into our primary systems will streamline all connected business-critical processes.
E-Commerce Integrations	When we integrate e-commerce platforms with an ERP, we can automate and simplify critical processes, such as inventory stock numbers, shipping, and billing.
