Integrations that connect your systems
Thirdlinks develops integrations and system solutions for businesses in Norway. We connect the systems you already use, so data moves automatically and you no longer enter the same information twice.
Most businesses use several systems: a website, a CRM, accounting software and perhaps an industry-specific system. When they do not talk to each other, your staff become the link, and information is copied by hand.
An integration is a connection between two systems. It sends data from one to the other when something happens, for example when an order is placed or a customer record is updated.
If there is no ready-made connection, we build it. If you need something new between your systems, such as a service that gathers data from several sources, we build that too.
When does a business need an integration?
- The same information is entered in several systems.
- Data in different systems does not match.
- Orders, customers or hours have to be exported and imported by hand.
- You cannot replace one system because everything else depends on it.
- You lack a single overview because your data sits in several places.
What can we connect?
API connections
Integrations between systems that have an API, in one or both directions.
Your website connected to internal systems
Forms, orders and bookings from your website go straight into your CRM or business system.
Data synchronisation
Customers, products, orders or hours stay the same across several systems.
Custom APIs
We can build an API for your system, so other systems and partners can fetch and send data securely.
Logging and alerts
The integration logs what happens and raises an alert if something stops.
Who benefits from integrations?
- Businesses using several systems that do not talk to each other
- Online shops and service businesses that want orders and bookings to go straight into internal systems
- Businesses that want to replace one system without replacing everything
- Businesses that need one overview of data from several sources
How do we build an integration?
Step 1: We map your systems
We start with which systems you use, which data needs to move, and how often.
Step 2: We check the options
We look at the APIs and export options your systems offer, and choose the simplest solution that is secure.
Step 3: We build and test
We build the integration and test it with real examples before it goes live.
Step 4: We run it and keep watch
Systems change. Under a hosting agreement we keep the integration up to date and fix issues when something changes.
Questions about integrations
What is a system integration?
A system integration is a connection that lets two or more systems exchange data automatically. It means you no longer have to enter the same information in several places.
What is an API?
An API is an interface that lets systems send and fetch data from each other in a controlled way. Many modern systems have an API that can be used for integrations.
Can any two systems be connected?
Not always. It depends on whether the system has an API or another way to export data. We check this before we give you a quote.
How do you keep the data secure?
We use encrypted connections, give the integration access only to the data it needs, and store access keys securely.
What happens when one of the systems changes?
Integrations need maintenance when the systems they connect change. Under a hosting agreement we keep an eye on this and update the integration when needed.
How much does an integration cost?
It depends on the systems and how much data needs to move. A simple connection between two systems costs less than a larger solution. You get a written quote before we start.
Do you have systems that should talk to each other?
