Connect your systems.Unify your data.

We design and build integration solutions that connect your disparate systems into cohesive, automated workflows. From ERP connectors to government API bridges, from data migration to real-time synchronisation — we enable your technology stack to work as a unified whole.

Spout Technologies Systems Integration

Integration is not just about moving data — it is about enabling workflows that span systems, automating processes that previously required manual effort, and creating visibility across previously disconnected domains.

Integration patterns we apply

Real-Time Integration

Event-driven architectures that propagate changes immediately across systems. When data changes in one system, connected systems update automatically. Ideal for customer-facing applications and time-sensitive operations.

Batch Integration

Scheduled synchronisation that moves data in batches at defined intervals. More efficient for large data volumes and less time-sensitive data. We design batch windows that don't impact business operations.

API-First Design

We design systems with APIs as primary interfaces — enabling integration from day one. This future-proofs your software and enables ecosystem connectivity as your requirements evolve.

Event-Driven Architecture

Message-based integration using queues and event streams. Decouples systems for better resilience, enables asynchronous processing, and supports complex workflow orchestration across multiple systems.

Data migration & synchronisation

Migration Planning

We analyse source and target systems, map data transformations, identify dependencies, and establish migration sequences. Every migration has a rollback plan.

Data Quality Assurance

We validate data at source, apply transformation rules, verify at destination, and reconcile discrepancies. Data quality is maintained throughout the migration process.

Synchronisation Management

For ongoing data synchronisation, we establish conflict resolution rules, handle schema evolution, monitor sync health, and provide visibility into data flows.

Legacy System Integration

We connect modern systems to legacy infrastructure — extracting data through available interfaces, building proxy layers where necessary, and enabling gradual modernisation without disruption.

How we engage

01

Discovery & Mapping

We map your current system landscape — identifying integration points, data flows, API capabilities, and constraints. This produces a clear picture of what can connect and how.

02

Architecture & Design

We design the integration architecture — choosing appropriate patterns, defining data contracts, establishing security boundaries, and planning error handling and monitoring.

03

Build & Validate

We build the integration, test thoroughly across scenarios (including failure modes), deploy with monitoring, and hand over with documentation and support procedures.

Frequently asked questions

What systems can you integrate?+
We integrate most modern business systems with available APIs — ERPs (Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, SAP), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), government systems (SARS, CIPC, ZRA), payment gateways, communication platforms, and custom applications. If a system has an interface, we can integrate it.
How do you ensure data security during integration?+
Security is built into every integration: encrypted connections (TLS/SSL), authentication management, data validation, access controls, and audit logging. We conduct security reviews of integration architectures and follow secure coding practices.
What's the difference between API integration and custom development?+
API integration connects existing systems using their provided interfaces. Custom development builds new software when existing systems can't provide required functionality. We often combine both — integrating where possible, building where necessary.
How long does a typical integration project take?+
Simple integrations (two well-documented APIs) may take days. Complex multi-system integrations with data transformation and workflow orchestration may take weeks or months. We provide detailed timelines after discovery.
Can you integrate with legacy/older systems?+
Yes, though approaches vary. We may use available interfaces (file exports, database connections), build proxy layers, or implement screen scraping where necessary. We design solutions appropriate to each system's capabilities.
Do you provide ongoing integration monitoring?+
Yes. We implement monitoring that tracks integration health, data flow volumes, error rates, and performance. Alerts notify of issues requiring attention. Regular reports provide visibility into integration operations.
How do you handle integration failures?+
We design for failure: retry logic, dead letter queues, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation. When failures occur, monitoring alerts trigger investigation. Error handling procedures ensure data integrity is maintained.
What does integration maintenance look like?+
Ongoing maintenance includes monitoring integration health, handling API changes from connected systems, adjusting for schema evolution, optimising performance, and supporting business changes. We offer maintenance retainers or can train your team.
