API integration services
Stop copying the same information between programs. We connect your business systems so data moves between them automatically, accurately and on time.
What an API integration does
An API (application programming interface) is the way one program exchanges information with another. An integration uses it so your systems update each other in the background, on a schedule or the moment something changes, instead of someone exporting a file and retyping it somewhere else.
Who it's for
Businesses that run on more than one system (for example a custom database, accounting software and spreadsheets) and spend staff time keeping them in sync, or that want customers and staff notified automatically when something happens.
Common integrations we build
- Accounting: sending invoices, customers and payments between your database and QuickBooks.
- Reporting: feeding operational data into Power BI dashboards.
- Spreadsheets: replacing manual Excel imports and exports with automatic transfers.
- Messaging: sending automatic emails, WhatsApp messages and phone calls from your business system, for example order confirmations, reminders or alerts.
- FileMaker: connecting Claris FileMaker solutions to web services and REST APIs, and building workflows with Claris Connect.
- Custom APIs: building an API for your own application so other systems can work with it.
How we work
- Discover: We map your workflows, systems and goals to find where integration and automation will have the biggest impact.
- Design: We plan the solution (data flows, APIs, AI touchpoints and security) and agree on a clear plan and scope.
- Build and integrate: We develop in focused iterations, connect your systems and test before anything goes live.
- Support and grow: We stay with you after launch, improving and extending the solution as your business changes.

Questions about API integration
Do we have to replace the software we already use?
No. Integration connects the systems you already have so they work together. Replacing a system is only worth considering when it can't exchange data at all.
What if one of our systems has no API?
We look at alternatives such as scheduled file exports or a direct database connection. If there's no reliable way to connect a system, we'll tell you before any work starts.
Can our system send WhatsApp messages, emails or phone calls automatically?
Yes. We've built integrations that send automatic emails, WhatsApp messages and phone calls from a business system, triggered by events such as a new order or an upcoming appointment.
