Data & Interfaces
Your data in the right system
I connect your website with your business tools. Information is maintained in the right place and transferred where it is needed.
Connect the tools you use
Repeated data entry can create conflicting records. We establish a reliable source and test transfers with real examples.
- Pricing
- Quoted after reviewing your data sources
- Timing
- Effort and timing depend on data quality, access and available interfaces. We assess them before implementation.
Data cleaning, transfer and ongoing operation are scoped separately. Third-party capabilities and usage costs are checked in advance.
Make data transfers reliable
Before implementation, we define the authoritative source and how conflicting information is handled. These rules shape the connection.
Example transfer rule
A change follows a defined path
This illustrates one possible rule. The data model and error handling are defined for your systems.
Example details
- Source
- Customer software holds the approved master data
- Transfer
- Only the agreed fields reach the destination system
- Conflict
- An unclear record is held for review
Define the authoritative source for each field
We determine which system owns a value and where it may be changed. This includes field mapping and handling missing or duplicate records. The rules are reviewed with someone who understands the business data.
Include failures in the implementation
We test interrupted connections and conflicting information as well as successful transfers. It should be clear which transfer failed and who will handle it. Retrying a task or holding it for review belongs in the agreed integration logic.
Resolve conflicting data first
If several sources disagree, we start by establishing which information is authoritative. A suitable connection can then be developed. Data cleanup and ongoing operation are considered separately in the scope.
Discuss the wider system setupYour data connections
- A documented data model with an agreed source for each field
- The agreed connections between your website and internal tools
- Tested transfers with rules for handling errors
Delivery and handover
Review the data
We compare existing sources and identify where details are entered more than once or do not match.
Agree the rules
We establish the authoritative source and decide how fields are mapped and changes transferred.
Build the connection
I implement the appropriate interface and test it using sample data. You receive documentation for maintenance and operation.
Before commissioning
Does this fit my business?
The same data is maintained more than once
Website and internal systems disagree
New channels are blocked by missing interfaces
What do I need to provide?
We need sample data, access to the affected tools and someone who can confirm the business rules.
What if a tool has no API?
We check documented import and export options or another supported access method. If these cannot provide a reliable connection, I explain the limitation before committing to implementation.
Are old or duplicate records cleaned up automatically?
A connection cannot decide which conflicting business data is correct. We first establish the applicable rules. Cleanup or migration can be included as a defined part of the project.
What happens if a supplier changes its interface?
An external change may require adjustments. At handover, we document how failures are detected and who maintains the connection. Ongoing support and usage costs are separate parts of the agreement.
Which details are maintained in more than one place?
Name the tools involved and give an example of the data that should move between them. Confidential customer data or account credentials are not needed for the first inquiry.
