SQL Database Integration — Connect Your Data to Everything Else
Your SQL database holds the data. Your cloud tools need it. We build the integration layer — real-time sync, APIs, ETL pipelines and cloud migration.
Perth-based. Australia-wide. SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL.
Your SQL Database Connected to Your Cloud Tools
You have data in SQL Server, MySQL or PostgreSQL. Critical business data — orders, customers, products, transactions. But it sits behind a firewall, connected to nothing except maybe a scheduled CSV export that runs overnight.
Meanwhile, your team uses Xero for accounting, HubSpot for CRM, Shopify for eCommerce and Power BI for reporting. Each blind to the data in your database. So someone copies and pastes. Exports and imports. Twice a day, every day.
We build the integration layer your database was never designed with. Real-time sync, custom APIs, ETL pipelines, cloud migration — whatever gets your data where it needs to be, reliably and securely.
What we hear from IT managers and business owners
If your database is an island of valuable data that nothing else can reach, these will resonate.
Data trapped in the database
Your SQL database holds years of business data — customers, orders, transactions, inventory. But your accounting software, CRM and reporting tools can't reach it without someone exporting CSVs.
Nightly batch jobs that fail silently
Someone set up a scheduled task years ago. It runs a stored procedure that exports data. It works most of the time. When it fails, nobody knows until someone notices the numbers are wrong.
Custom application with no integration layer
A developer built a custom system years ago backed by SQL Server or MySQL. It does what it does. But it was never designed to share data with anything else.
Multiple databases that don't talk to each other
You have a SQL database for orders, another for customers, maybe a third for inventory. Each was built separately. Getting a unified view means joining data manually in spreadsheets.
Cloud software that can't see your database
You moved to Xero for accounting, HubSpot for CRM, Shopify for eCommerce. But the core business data is still in SQL Server sitting on-premise. The cloud tools are blind to it.
The developer who built it has moved on
Stored procedures, triggers, views, functions — written by someone who is no longer around. The database works, but modifying it or connecting new systems feels risky.

SQL Database Integration Solutions
From quick cloud sync to full API layers and ETL pipelines. Pick a tab to see how each works.
SQL to cloud platform sync
Your SQL database syncing with Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify or any cloud SaaS platform. Records created, updated and reconciled across systems automatically.
Change data capture on the database side, API calls on the cloud side, error handling and retry logic in between.
For businesses with core data in SQL that needs to reach cloud software their teams use daily.
Custom API layer over your database
A secure REST or GraphQL API that exposes your SQL data for external systems to consume. Endpoints built for specific use cases: orders, customers, products, inventory, transactions.
Authentication via API keys or OAuth. Rate limiting, request logging and field-level access control. Swagger documentation for your team or third-party integrators.
For businesses that need multiple systems to access their database in a controlled, secure way.
Database-to-database ETL
Extract data from one or more SQL databases, transform it (clean, normalise, aggregate) and load it into a data warehouse, reporting database or another operational database.
Scheduled or event-driven. Full loads for initial setup, incremental loads for ongoing. Schema drift detection and alerting included.
For businesses that need to consolidate multiple databases into a single source for reporting or analytics.
On-premise to cloud database migration
SQL Server to Azure SQL Database, AWS RDS or Google Cloud SQL. MySQL or PostgreSQL to managed cloud equivalents. Schema, data, stored procedures, views and scheduled jobs migrated.
Minimal downtime migration with parallel running validation. Performance benchmarking before and after to confirm no degradation.
For businesses wanting to eliminate on-premise server management and get cloud reliability and scalability.
Real-time database replication
Keep two or more databases in sync in real time. Master-replica, master-master or hub-and-spoke topologies depending on your requirements.
Conflict resolution rules for bidirectional sync. Latency monitoring. Failover handling when one node goes down.
For businesses with multi-site operations, disaster recovery requirements or read-replica needs.
SQL data connected to Power BI and dashboards
Your SQL databases connected to Power BI, Metabase, Looker or Google Data Studio. Live connections or scheduled refreshes. Cross-database joins for unified reporting.
Dashboards that your management team can actually use without needing to write SQL or export CSVs.
For businesses that have the data but can't get the visibility they need from it.
Ongoing database support and optimisation
Query performance tuning, index optimisation, stored procedure maintenance, backup verification and security patching. The database stays fast, reliable and secure.
For the database nobody on your team has time — or knowledge — to maintain properly.
Monthly support plans that cover monitoring, maintenance and ad-hoc changes.
Database changes flow to your cloud systems instantly
A new order in SQL Server appears in Xero within minutes. A customer update in HubSpot writes back to the database. Change data capture or event-driven triggers — we pick the right mechanism.
No more nightly exports. No more waiting until tomorrow to see today's data.
A proper API on top of your database
We build a secure REST API that exposes your SQL data to any system that needs it. Authentication, rate limiting, field-level permissions and audit logging included.
Your database gets an integration layer it was never built with. New systems connect through the API instead of direct database access.

Common questions about SQL database integration
Which SQL databases do you work with?
Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle and SQLite. If it speaks SQL, we work with it. Cloud-hosted databases on Azure SQL, AWS RDS and Google Cloud SQL included.
Can you connect our on-premise SQL database to Xero?
Yes. We build a secure middleware layer that reads from your SQL database and pushes data to Xero via its API. Invoices, contacts, payments, bills — whichever entities you need synced. Works with MYOB, QuickBooks and other accounting platforms too.
How much does a SQL database integration cost?
A basic sync between a SQL database and one cloud platform typically costs $8,000 to $18,000. API layer builds run $12,000 to $30,000. Full ETL pipelines with multiple sources and a data warehouse usually range $20,000 to $60,000. Fixed price after scoping.
Can you migrate our on-premise SQL Server to Azure?
Yes. We handle schema migration, data transfer, stored procedure adaptation and performance testing. Minimal downtime migration with parallel running to validate. Usually 4 to 8 weeks depending on database size and complexity.
We have stored procedures and triggers. Will they survive migration?
For SQL Server to Azure SQL, almost everything migrates directly. For cross-platform moves (SQL Server to PostgreSQL for example), we rewrite stored procedures and triggers to the target syntax. All logic preserved.
Can you build a real-time sync instead of nightly batch?
Yes. Using change data capture, database triggers or event-driven middleware, we detect changes as they happen and push them to target systems. Near-real-time latency, typically seconds to minutes.
What about security? Our database has sensitive data.
Encrypted connections (TLS). API authentication and authorisation. Field-level access control. Audit logging for all data access. VPN or private network connectivity for on-premise databases. We match the security to your compliance requirements.
How long does an integration project take?
A single-system sync takes 4 to 8 weeks. API layer builds take 6 to 12 weeks. Multi-source ETL pipelines take 8 to 16 weeks. We scope precisely and work in phases if the project is large.
