APIs and integrations that keep your systems in step.
When systems do not talk to each other, people end up copying data between screens. We build the APIs and integrations that connect them, so information moves reliably, securely and only once.
What we build
We connect payment, identity, finance and government systems so nobody has to retype data between them.
-
Public and partner APIs
Well-documented APIs that let partners, customers and your own apps work with your data, with keys, usage limits and versioning.
-
System-to-system integrations
Connections between your ERP, CRM, finance, HR and line-of-business systems, so a change in one reaches the others.
-
Payment integrations
Card, bank and mobile money payments, refunds and reconciliation through trusted payment providers.
-
Identity and single sign-on
Sign-in through your identity provider, and identity verification like the checks in our IDClear product.
-
Government and regulated systems
Integrations with government services and regulated platforms, handled with the care, logging and security they require.
-
Webhooks and event-driven workflows
Real-time notifications between systems, with retries and a record of every message, so nothing is silently lost.
-
Data migrations
Moving data from an old system to a new one, checked record by record, with a plan to switch over and a way back.
-
Automating manual steps
Scheduled jobs and workflows that take over the repetitive copying, checking and emailing your team does by hand.
What goes into every integration we build
-
Documented
Clear API documentation with examples, so the people who use it can start without a meeting.
-
Reliable
Retries, timeouts and queues, so a slow or unavailable system does not lose data.
-
Secure
Encrypted connections, scoped keys and tokens, and only the access each connection needs.
-
Observable
Logs and alerts for every connection, so you can see what moved, when, and what failed.
-
Tested
Automated tests against each system, including the awkward cases, run on every change.
-
Versioned
Changes that do not break the people and systems already using your API.

How a project runs
Nothing starts without your sign-off, and you'll see working software every two weeks.
- 1
A free call
Thirty minutes to talk through what you need. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
- 2
Discovery
A few short workshops to agree goals, users, constraints and what success looks like.
- 3
Design
Screens you can click through and test with real users before we write any code.
- 4
Build
Two-week sprints. Each one ends with a demo of working software you can try and comment on.
- 5
Launch
Automated tests, security checks and a go-live plan with a way back if something goes wrong.
- 6
Looking after it
Your system moves onto a Managed Services retainer, supported by the people who built it.
What happens after launch?
You can keep us on to look after it. The people who wrote the code are the ones who keep it running, so nothing gets lost in a handover.
Common questions
- Can you connect to a system that has no API?
- Often, yes. Depending on the system, we can use file exchanges, database connections or its own export tools. We explain the options and their risks first.
- What happens when one of the systems is down?
- The integration waits and retries, keeps a record of anything it could not deliver, and alerts an engineer if it needs attention.
- How do you charge?
- Build work is billed by the hour against an estimate we agree before we start, and you see hours and progress every sprint. Looking after a live system is a monthly or yearly retainer.
- Where do we start?
- With a free 30-minute call. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. If we are, we agree goals and an estimate before any work begins.
