Platforms & apps · APIs & integrations

We connect your software so an order, payment or update entered once flows everywhere it needs to go. Every integration is documented, monitored and built to recover from errors.

↓When the other system is down, the record waits and retries, longer each time. A repeat is caught, not duplicated.

Signs you need it

Five things owners tell us before a project like this starts. Every one you recognise adds a tally mark.

What are APIs and integrations?

One idea at a time. Each sheet lays over the last, so the picture builds up. Tap a number to jump.

Think of it like this

It is like a reliable courier between departments who never loses a file and reports any delivery that bounces.

01 / 04

An API is a door one piece of software opens so other software can read or send data in an agreed format.

02 / 04

An integration uses those doors to connect your systems, for example sending each website order into Tally and a WhatsApp confirmation to the customer.

03 / 04

Good integrations handle failures, avoid duplicates and tell someone when something goes wrong.

04 / 04

We can also build APIs for your own software so partners can connect to you.

What you receive

Six parts,all handed over to you.

Your APIs & integrations work is made of these six parts. The comb lights each one in turn; tap a cell to read it.

An example

Picture a business like yours,in three frames.

A typical situation, not a client story. The line in each frame goes from tangled to straight as the work is done.

How it runs

Four legs of one relay,about 10 weeks, start to finish.

Each leg is sized by how long it usually takes. Watch the baton go round, or tap a leg to jump there.

What shapes the quote

Four factors,four corners of your project.

Each corner grows when that factor is on the larger side. The outline is your project's footprint, and the quote follows it.

Footprint

A compact project. The smallest footprint for your quote.

The decision

The question we hear most:No-code automation or custom integration?

The board turns through each option. Tap one to hold it and read the trade-off.

Option 1No-code tools like Zapier, Make or n8n

Volumes are modest and the flows are simple, such as form to CRM to email.

Option 2Custom integration code

Data is business-critical, volumes are high or systems need complex mapping, like Tally vouchers.

Option 3Mix of both

Core order and accounting flows need custom code while marketing flows suit no-code tools.

Pick this when

Volumes are modest and the flows are simple, such as form to CRM to email.

The trade-off

It is quick to set up and change, though complex logic, high volumes and error handling get harder.

Common mistakes

Four things that trip a project,and the fix we fit instead.

Each fuse is a mistake we see often. Watch it blow and get replaced, or tap a fuse to read the fix.

Trips when

Not deciding which system owns each record

How we avoid it

We name a master system for customers, products, stock and prices before building.

APIs & integrations questions,answered plainly.

Search the answers. If yours is missing, ask us on the call.

Cost & timeHow long does an integration project take and what affects the cost?

A single one-way connector between modern systems can take two to three weeks. Multi-system, two-way projects with older software take eight to ten. The number of systems, API quality, volumes and any public API drive the price.

Getting startedCan you integrate with Tally?

Yes. TallyPrime can exchange data through its XML interface and connectors, which we use to create vouchers, read ledgers and sync stock. The machine running Tally needs to be reachable, or we use a cloud-hosted setup.

Getting startedHow does WhatsApp Business Platform pricing work?

Meta charges per message based on the template category and country, and your provider may add its own fee. We estimate message costs for your volumes and use free service windows where possible.

OwnershipWho owns the integrations?

You own the code, hosting and API keys. Credentials are stored in your secret manager or vault, never in code.

Getting startedWhat if one of the systems is down?

Our connectors queue data and retry automatically when the system returns. If a record keeps failing, it is flagged for someone to look at.

Getting startedCan you connect to government portals?

For GST e-invoicing and e-way bills, we connect through licensed providers that offer APIs. Some government portals have no public API, which limits what is possible.

OwnershipIs our data safe while moving between systems?

Data travels over encrypted connections and is stored only as long as needed. Access keys are limited to the permissions each connector needs.

Getting startedWho looks after integrations once they are live?

Third-party APIs change, so integrations need watching. Our monthly plan covers monitoring, updates when vendors change their APIs and new connections.
