System Integrations & Consulting

Professional consulting and implementation for third-party integrations in Kenya. Connect custom APIs, ERPs (SAP, Odoo), CRMs, and payment gateways.

In today's digital landscape, businesses rely on a multitude of specialized systems to run operations. However, when these platforms operate in silos, it leads to manual work, data entry errors, and operational inefficiencies.

Statum provides end-to-end system integration and consulting services. We bridge the gap between your custom software systems and third-party APIs, legacy databases, ERP software, CRMs, and global service providers, ensuring seamless data flow, high reliability, and real-time updates.

Our Integration Capabilities

We work across various domains to integrate platforms seamlessly. Our expertise includes:

  • ERP & Accounting Integrations: Connect your customer-facing platforms or mobile apps with enterprise resource planning systems such as SAP, Odoo, Oracle NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Sage, and Zoho Books. We automate invoicing, sales matching, and stock management.
  • CRM & Lead Systems: Keep client details synchronized by linking your systems to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, or custom lead pipelines.
  • E-Commerce & Checkout Engines: Build tailored plugins or direct API linkages between your systems and popular storefront systems including WooCommerce, Shopify, and Magento.
  • Messaging & Telecommunication: Integrate SMS Gateways, interactive USSD menus, and automated WhatsApp Business endpoints to communicate with customers programmatically.

Robust Architecture & Design

A poorly built integration can fail under heavy load or lead to data discrepancies. We design and implement integrations based on modern, resilient paradigms:

1. Asynchronous Event-Driven Messaging

We use queuing systems (such as RabbitMQ, Redis, or Amazon SQS) to decouple services. If a third-party API is temporarily unavailable, your core application remains fully functional, and requests are retried automatically once the service recovers.

2. Data Translation & Schema Mapping

We build middleware that transforms mismatched data formats (e.g., converting legacy SOAP/XML outputs to modern REST/JSON) securely and quickly.

3. Strict Security & Token Management

Integrations require storing high-clearance API keys and credentials. We implement industry-standard practices, utilizing secure key vaults, HMAC validation, and OAuth 2.0 token refreshes to secure your data.

Our Integration Process

To ensure success, our engineering team follows a systematic process to evaluate, design, and implement your system integrations:

Phase 1

Audit & Roadmap

We analyze your existing code architecture, review target third-party API capabilities, identify potential performance bottlenecks, and design a logical data-flow diagram.

Phase 2

Architecture Design

We document database schemas, webhook callback structures, queuing systems, and failover options, ensuring your team has clear specifications before coding begins.

Phase 3

Implementation

Our engineers write clean, documentable connection layers, build customized middleware APIs, configure webhook listeners, and implement logging/monitoring systems.

Phase 4

Testing & Go-Live

We run comprehensive unit tests, simulate request failures, perform latency tests under simulated loads, and deploy with real-time performance logging.

Example Use Cases

  • Automated Invoicing: Syncing online customer checkouts (M-Pesa, Card) directly to an ERP system like Odoo to create real-time paid invoices and adjust inventory levels.
  • Lead Routing: Instantly pushing incoming customer service requests or product inquiries from custom mobile apps directly into Zoho or Salesforce pipelines.
  • Batch Processing Reconciliation: Periodically pulling transaction reports from multiple third-party aggregators, mapping data to a single unified format, and updating financial ledgers.
