Booking 2 new partners for Q3 — strategy calls open this week.

Systems engineering

Integrations that don't break when you're not looking.

By the time a Plus brand comes to us, they've usually got six or seven systems trying to share data — ERP, 3PL, OMS, ESP, BI, finance. We build the integration layer that keeps them honest. Idempotent, observable, and recoverable. We've wired up NetSuite, Brightpearl, ShipStation, Klaviyo, Yotpo, Gorgias, Algolia, Searchanise, and more — and we know which ones to be paranoid about.

Outcomes

What you actually get.

  • Inventory truth across every channel within minutes, not hours
  • Customer data flowing into ESP and CRM without sync gaps
  • Order data into the ERP within the SLA your finance team needs
  • Alerting that fires before your CX team notices a problem

Deliverables

Everything that ships to your team.

Integration architecture diagram + data flow map
Webhook handlers + retry queue + idempotency layer
Mapping spec for every field touched (source, transform, destination)
Monitoring dashboard with sync health, queue depth, error rate
Runbook for failure modes and on-call escalation
Quarterly review against actual SLA performance

Methodology

How we approach the work.

Not principles for principles' sake — these are the practices that decide whether we ship something good or something we'd be embarrassed by.

01

Map before we connect

Every integration starts with a written data flow: which fields, which direction, which cadence, which system of record. No code is written until that doc is signed.

02

Idempotent by default

Every write is keyed so retries can't double-create. Every webhook we accept is logged and processed once. Replays don't corrupt your ERP.

03

Observable from day one

Structured logs, queue depth metrics, sync-lag alerts, and a dashboard your ops lead can actually read. We don't ship dark.

04

Failure modes documented

What happens when NetSuite is down? When Klaviyo throttles? When the 3PL's webhook delivers out of order? Every mode is documented and the runbook lives where on-call can find it.

05

Versioned and reversible

Schema and mapping changes go through a migration. Rollbacks are tested. We never ship a one-way door without a flagged kill switch.

FAQ

About this service.

The questions partners actually ask before kicking off this kind of work.

Sometimes. iPaaS is great for shallow integrations between common SKUs. Once mapping logic gets non-trivial — discount math, pre-orders, multi-warehouse — custom code is more reliable and cheaper to maintain.
