Make life easier & scale your business with SapphireOne’s customisable API Integrations.

An API Integration is the connection made between two (or more) separate applications, via their APIs, that allows the two systems to talk & exchange data between each other.

API Integrations are a breeze with SapphireOne’s customisable solutions.


If you’re someone who works in revenue, operations or marketing, or if your company is backed by the power of digital (so, the large majority of us these days) then you have most likely heard the term ‘API Integrations’ floating around more than once, and how these are becoming increasingly instrumental and necessary for business growth.

In todays world companies are changing fast, their business is changing fast, and through our own client engagement we are seeing a rapidly rising demand for our clients to digitally integrate their corporate landscape in alignment with their future goals, and take advantage of the various and exciting applications that are available to businesses these days.

At SapphireOne we know that scalability and keeping up with new technological trends is an important consideration for all businesses, and that adapting to these new changes within our dynamic ecosystem can also bring about a number of problems for companies. We see it happen every single day. 

Lucky for us, this is the reason why we are in business for our clients. It’s the same reason why we enthusiastically jump-kick out of bed to get to work every day – we are passionate about creating solutions that take a complex task and make it as simple as possible. 

So, if you’re looking for seamless digital integration of different components of your landscape, or are having challenges bringing together complex applications, then read on to find out how you can achieve all this with much less effort, easier adaptation and big options for scalability.


So what is an API Integration, and how can they help scale your business?


What is an API?

Technically speaking, an API stands for ‘Application Programming Interface’. Non-technically speaking, is a software intermediary that allows separate applications to talk to each other. You can think of an API as a messenger that delivers your request to the provider you’re requesting from, and then delivers that response right back to you. 

What is an API Integration?

An API Integration is the connection made between two (or more) separate applications, via their APIs, that allows the two systems to talk & exchange data between each other. These API integrations power the business processes behind all high performing companies – they keep data synced up, enhance operations & productivity by saving time, and drive revenue.

Ok, that covers APIs and API Integrations. Now, why are these so necessary for your business?

Data syncing and time saving benefits are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to why API integrations are so important for the running & scaling of your business. The value of these integrations speaks for itself – having every application you are running properly connected to each other so you can send data from one to the next is extremely helpful for any business. 

However, even more so, having properly automated workflows of different applications that have been integrated through APIs can ensure data integrity across your whole technological infrastructure, eliminate time consuming manual labour tasks, seamlessly transfer data that might otherwise result in translating issues, and enable you to do more of the work that is important to you and your business, a lot faster. 

Well that sounds pretty great. So what’s the problem?

In an ideal world, the API integrations that come with your different software applications solve all your biggest business problems as you continue to utilize & automate these various apps for marketing, sales, shipping, operations and revenue projects, just to name a few.

However, in the real world, a one-size-fits-all approach is not usually the best solution. You, your team and your business all have unique challenges and needs, and your applications and systems need to service that. 

This is where API integrations can get a little sticky. If you’re an established and high functioning business, your data ecosystem doesn’t just include two applications talking to each other, but a multitude of applications, all of which need to talk and interact seamlessly with each other.

Now, while the majority of these modern business applications do have APIs, very few offer customisable integrations to the other applications your business is operating. This means that getting all your different applications to talk to each other in the way that your business needs is not something that happens automatically and can be a real headsore for anyone trying to make this happen.

Hague Haswell of Timbecon on SapphireOne + Australia Post API Integration:

“We’re probably saving 25% upfront and about 10% on the fixing up of the errors, so that’s a massive saving of almost a third of someone’s time. The great thing for us is that we’re not going to reduce staff, instead we’re keeping the same staff and this will allow us to be able to get the orders out more quickly, which is creating a better customer experience and increases repeat orders.

This was one of the driving things of the reason why we wanted to go with SapphireOne because we knew that they would be able to deliver this massive increase in efficiency once the system was implemented and it’s been fantastic.”

James Brown of Bordo on SapphireOne + MoveIt API Integration:

“We used to have to create consignments in different systems, one for each freight company. If a client changed their address, we would have to remember to change it in the freight company’s system as well as in SapphireOne.

We had a whole lot of different systems we had to use, staff had to be trained on them all, and all the systems had to be kept up-to-date manually with addresses, etc. Now that’s automated in SapphireOne with its integration to MoveIt. 

It has made the whole process a lot more simple, convenient and less error-prone one.”

How WooCommerce and Accounting Software helps business owners

WooCommerce is one of the most downloaded WordPress plugins, providing businesses with a free and easy way to create an online web store. But maintaining accurate accounts, and keeping records of your business transaction manually, can be tedious and allows for human errors. A priority should be focused on getting the customer orders processed quickly and thoroughly.  The integration of accounting software saves you time as no longer dealing with spreadsheets and inventory management. Invest in other important activities like growing your business. WooCommerce and accounting software ensures your e-commerce front-end is combined with back office functionality.

The benefits of WooCommerce and SapphireOne ERP, CRM, Business Accounting Software integration

SapphireOne accounting software helps e-commerce owners record accounting transactions and manage payable and receivable accounts. This eliminates the problem of keeping separate financial and cost-accounting records. Managing your inventory is easy with the continual flow of information between the two. With SapphireOne integration manual work is reduced by automating processes. This in turn saves on operational costs and allows your business to grow. 

Automation of data entries

SapphireOne CRM and accounting software stores product availability and pricing. WooCommerce needs this information for all online and offline sales. Order management process, not just synchronising orders, is automated so eliminates the need of extracting data from WooCommerce. This saves time and money and also reduces data errors.

Removal of manual checking 

Synchronising WooCommerce order transactions and available stock is essential. SapphireOne processes the relationship between orders and stock, such as sending business alerts when levels are breached and triggers purchase orders for approval and processing.

Smart BI Dashboard and reporting

In SapphireOne you have a 360° view, in real-time, of all incoming sales, stock levels and online store performance and statistics. Customised reports allow you to identify any areas of concern and react swiftly to rectify any problems.

Improve customer service 

Order status and tracking information are other essential elements that need to be managed in WooCommerce. SapphireOne identifies and sends the details to WooCommerce of your orders and invoicing. It also checks the status, tracking numbers and delivery details. If the order has not been delivered for any reason it will notify WooCommerce helping to improve your customer service. SapphireOne CRM will identify when a product has been purchased via the WooCommerce online store, process the order and can follow up with some targeted marketing campaigns.
