What is an API?
API interfacing with business software refers to the creation of data exchange between two or more information systems. If you are involved in e-commerce and see your business expanding, manual data handling can become time-consuming and costly.
What are the main benefits of APIs?
Systems integration has several specific advantages, including:
Data consistency: All data is accurate and up-to-date across all systems.
Time and economic efficiency: Data exchange is fast and automated. Labor costs are reduced!
Elimination of human error: Processes are automated and depend on the human factor at least.
Business software API interfaces – ERPLY, Directo, Merit
vDisain specializes in API interfacing with well-known business software, such as Erply, Merit Aktiva, and Directo. Erply and Directo are much more than just accounting programs and are suitable for both a startup and a larger e-commerce platform.
Project:
We created a modernly designed e-shop for Oru Grupp on the WordPress WooCommerce e-shop platform with an optimized customer journey, imported over 2,000 products from their old e-shop, and created an interface with ERPLY business software to synchronize inventory.
ERPLY API Interface Module
Through dozens of projects, Vdisain has developed its own ERPLY API interface module, which allows you to retrieve all product information from ERPLY – product name, product price, product description, product code, product images, product inventory, product variations, product variation prices, product translations, etc. The module also sends customer orders from the e-store to ERPLY.
Interfacing with parcel lockers and courier services
vDisain helps integrate all common parcel lockers and courier services into e-shops and warehouse management systems. Smartpost/Itella, Omniva and DPD are particularly suitable for the Estonian market. For pan-European delivery, it is effective to use DHL or DPD services.
Bank interfaces and payment solutions
Our long-term partner is Montonio. Their transparent pricing policy and efficient operation are market advantages, why many vDisain clients prefer their services. We connect all the necessary banking interfaces and payment solutions for you, including all banks in Estonia and neighboring countries.
Data communication and systems integration
By interfacing with APIs, you can achieve a seamless data flow that brings significant efficiency gains. If you use warehouse management or sales software, you might consider integrating them with your e-commerce system. This way, you can reduce labor costs, minimize manual data entry, and use the data for statistical analysis.
vDesign helps connect different data points so that data exchange is automatic and requires minimal intervention from you. For example, invoices can be automatically sent to your chosen financial management software and product information can be synchronized with your warehouse system. All of this is done automatically, without you having to make any changes to either system.
