API and System Integration So Your Software Works Together

Most businesses already use several good systems; the problem is that they do not share information. Friend Tech builds integrations that move data between your platforms automatically and reliably, and develops APIs that let mobile apps, partners and portals work with your core systems.

Overview

When good systems do not talk to each other

Your online store takes orders, your accounting software issues invoices, a delivery company handles shipments and your team uses WhatsApp to update customers. Each tool works, but someone still has to copy order details from one screen to another, check payment status manually and update stock in two places. Mistakes creep in, and the more you grow, the more staff time disappears into data entry.

System integration connects these platforms so information flows between them automatically. An order placed online can reach inventory, accounting and the delivery partner without anyone re-typing it.

Integrations we build

Business systems

Connections between websites, e-commerce platforms such as WooCommerce, POS, ERP, CRM, accounting and HR systems, including legacy software that only supports file exports or database access.

Payments and delivery

Payment gateway integration for online and in-app payments, subject to provider and client account availability, together with delivery and logistics platforms for shipment creation and tracking where the provider offers an API.

Messaging and productivity

SMS gateways, email services and the WhatsApp Business Platform, subject to Meta approval and provider availability, as well as calendar, file and user integrations with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

Devices and files

Biometric attendance devices, barcode and label printers, and structured file exchanges such as bank salary files or supplier price lists, depending on what each device or partner supports.

APIs for your own system

If you have a business system and want a mobile app, a customer or vendor portal, or partners to connect to it, you need a well-designed API. We build REST APIs with authentication, role-based permissions, input validation, rate limiting and clear documentation, so other developers can use them without guesswork. This is often the foundation for mobile app development projects.

Built to be reliable

Integrations fail in practice when a provider is down, a password expires or data arrives in an unexpected format. We plan for this from the start: every request is logged, failed transactions are queued and retried, alerts reach the right person and sensitive credentials are stored securely. We test against sandbox environments before connecting to live accounts, and monitor integrations after launch.

Many integrations are part of a wider effort to remove manual steps, which is where our business automation service fits in.

API & System Integration

Frequently asked questions

It depends on what each system allows. Systems with a documented API are the most straightforward; others may be connected through file exports, database access or email parsing. We confirm feasibility after reviewing both systems.

Yes, subject to the payment provider offering an integration option and your business account being approved by that provider. We work with the documentation and test environment the provider supplies.

We use encrypted connections, store credentials securely, limit access to the data each integration needs and log every request so activity can be reviewed.

Providers usually announce changes in advance. Under a support agreement we monitor integrations, update them when providers change their APIs and fix issues when they arise.
