Third-party Software Integration

Make more of the tools you already use.

We help businesses bring third-party software into their websites, applications and everyday processes.

From setup and configuration to tailored functionality, we make external services a useful part of your digital platform. The focus is on putting the software's capabilities to work in a way that suits your customers, your team and the wider business.

We work across customer management, payments, marketing, bookings, accounting and specialist business tools.

Start with what the software needs to do

You may be introducing a new platform or trying to get more from one already in place.

We begin with the requirements, the people using the software and the role it needs to play. We review the available features and integration options, then work through how they fit your existing setup.

This helps identify what can be configured directly, where additional development is useful and which questions need to be resolved with the provider.

Bring external features into your website

Third-party tools can add useful functionality to a website or application.

We integrate forms, booking tools, customer services and other hosted features into the wider experience. We consider the presentation around them, how people reach them and what happens when they move between your website and the external service.

The aim is a clear, consistent journey, shaped around the controls and options the software provides.

Support the way your team works

A successful setup needs to work for the people managing it.

We look at where information is entered, how it reaches the right system and what the team needs to do next. Connections and supporting workflows can help reduce repeated administration and make the relationship between different tools easier to manage.

We also work through which system holds each record and who is responsible for keeping it current.

Configure and extend where it adds value

Some requirements can be met through the software's existing settings and features. Others need additional functionality around them.

We can configure the available tools and develop supporting forms, interfaces or workflow logic where required. This allows an established platform to serve a more specific business process while keeping its role in the overall system clear.

The scope follows the requirement and the capabilities available from the provider.

Work through the practical details

Account access, available features, subscriptions and ongoing responsibilities can all affect an implementation.

We help identify those dependencies early and clarify what needs to be managed within the external platform. That includes the settings your team will maintain and the access needed to support the connection.

A clear division of responsibility gives your team a useful basis for running the setup after handover.

Test the complete setup

We check how the third-party functionality works within the customer journey, across desktop and mobile, and in the staff workflow around it.

That includes the information passed between systems, the expected outcome and how problems are surfaced when attention is needed. Where custom development is involved, we include the checks, error handling and logging appropriate to the scope.

We document the setup and explain where content, settings and connected features are managed, so the team knows where to make changes.

Review and improve what is already in place

Existing software connections can become harder to manage as requirements change.

We can review the current setup, improve an integration or help work through a change of provider. We consider the information, dependencies and processes affected before defining the work.

Ongoing development can support new features, changes in connected services or a simpler approach as the business evolves.
