Application Development // API & System Integration
Best for firms with 5+ business systems and growing data volume

Get your systems to talk to each other.

Most firms have 20+ tools and 0 of them talk to each other. Data gets re-typed, reports re-built, errors stack up. We connect systems through proper integrations — APIs, ETL pipelines, event streams — so data flows once, correctly, and your team stops being human glue.

How disconnected systems hurt.

pain 01

Someone re-types the same data 4 times.

Quoting tool, CRM, ERP, billing system. Each one needs the customer record. Each one gets a copy. They diverge.

pain 02

Monthly close takes 8 days because numbers don't match.

Sales says one thing, finance says another. Reconciling eats half of finance's month.

pain 03

Customer signs up but gets duplicates.

Signup form, CRM, billing — each fires off a confirmation email. Customer thinks they signed up three times.

pain 04

Workflow died with the person who maintained it.

A retired employee's Excel macros tied three systems together. Nobody else understands them. They break and stay broken.

What you get

What we deliver.

  • 01

    Integration map

    Visual diagram of every system, every data flow, every dependency. Yours to keep, update, and use.

  • 02

    Direct API integrations

    Where APIs exist (most modern SaaS), we connect them directly. Bi-directional, error-handled, monitored.

  • 03

    Middleware pipelines

    Where direct APIs don't fit, we build pipelines through Mulesoft, Workato, Boomi, or custom code.

  • 04

    Data transformations

    Field mapping, format conversion, deduplication. Data fits the receiving system, no manual cleanup.

  • 05

    Error handling + alerting

    When an integration fails, we know — and so do you. Retries, dead-letter queues, written runbooks.

  • 06

    Documentation + monitoring

    Every flow documented. Every flow monitored. No more 'we hope it's still working.'

From a client
Sales would close a deal in HubSpot, then somebody had to re-type the whole thing into NetSuite. Senator built the integration in two weeks. Now it flows automatically. We got 1.5 FTEs of capacity back.

Who needs this

Who needs this.

  • Firms running 5+ business systems that should be sharing data and aren't.
  • Anyone whose monthly close is stretched by manual data reconciliation.
  • Firms post-acquisition needing to merge two stacks of systems.
  • Operations teams burning hours on data entry that software should be doing.
FAQ
Q01

What if our legacy systems don't have APIs?

Most do, even old ones — sometimes through database queries, file drops, or unofficial endpoints. Where genuinely no path exists, we build screen-scraping bots as a last resort.

Q02

How do we avoid the integration becoming brittle?

Versioning, contracts, automated tests, alerting on schema changes. Most breakage comes from one side changing without notice — we monitor for that.

Q03

Can you integrate AI services too?

Yes — LLM API integrations are common asks now. Often part of broader workflow automation.

Q04

Who owns the integration after launch?

Most clients keep us as the maintainer. Some take over after stabilization. We provide thorough handover docs either way.
