Custom software, app & API integration — so your team stops being the integration layer

Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call and a short discovery session. A focused two-system integration (Xero ↔ HubSpot with field mapping, two-way contact + invoice sync) typically takes 3–6 weeks. A multi-system enterprise integration with workflow automation, conflict resolution and monitoring takes 6–14 weeks. You know the price before any code is written — never per-task or per-execution billing.

Simple two-system one-way sync: 1–3 weeks. Standard two-way sync with field mapping, error handling and basic monitoring: 3–6 weeks. Multi-system workflow with approvals + audit trail + conflict resolution: 6–12 weeks. Enterprise integration platform replacing iPaaS or legacy middleware: 3–6 months. Demos every two weeks — your team can use the integration the moment Sprint 1 ships.

Those are great tools — and we honestly recommend them for many cases. Custom is right when (a) per-task or per-execution billing is climbing painfully as you scale, (b) you need workflow logic those platforms struggle with (multi-step approvals, conditional branching, custom field transforms, complex error handling), (c) you need true two-way sync with conflict resolution (most no-code tools do one-way), or (d) you want to own the integration outright. The scoping call covers the trade-off honestly.

Two-way is the default. Standard pattern: change-data-capture or webhook on both sides, conflict-resolution rules you define (most-recent-wins, source-system-wins, manual-merge-queue), idempotent upserts so reruns are safe, audit trail of every change with which system originated it. One-way is cheaper and we'll suggest it when two-way is overkill — but the architecture supports two-way from day one.

Built in. Rate-limit-aware throttling (we read the API's X-RateLimit headers and respect them), exponential backoff with jitter on transient failures, circuit-breaker on sustained errors, dead-letter queue for messages that fail repeatedly. The integration keeps running through API outages and catches up cleanly. Tested against deliberately-injected failures before launch.

Monitoring & alerting is shipped with every integration — not an add-on. Failure email / SMS / Slack on the channel your on-call uses, a dashboard showing real-time throughput and lag, dead-letter queue you can inspect and replay. We also build the daily reconciliation report (rows-in-source vs rows-in-target) so silent loss is impossible.

iPaaS platforms are powerful but expensive — typically expensive at mid-market scale — and they lock you into their connector model. Custom integration code (Node.js, .NET, or Python depending on your stack) costs less to build, costs nothing to keep running beyond hosting, and runs in your cloud account. iPaaS is right when you need 50+ integrations and a low-code team to manage them. Custom is right for most other cases.

Yes. Source code, test suite, deployment scripts, monitoring config — all yours in your GitHub or Azure DevOps from day one. No per-task or per-user integration SaaS subscription to us. Ongoing maintenance is month-to-month — never locked-in. Cancel anytime and the integration keeps running. Hosting is yours.
