We pay for several tools, and none of them talk to each other
Common situation · IntegrationsA situation we are often asked to help with. Many owners live with it for years because it feels like part of running a business. If it sounds like yours, here is what is usually behind it and how we fix it.
What you might be noticing
- •The same data gets typed into two or three places.
- •Totals do not match between tools.
- •Nobody is sure which tool is right.
What is usually going on underneath
Tools were added one problem at a time, so there is no plan for how data moves between them.
How we fix it
1
Map what each tool holds
We document what lives where, and which system should own each piece of data.
2
Connect them so data enters once
Information moves between tools automatically.
3
Watch the connections
Failed syncs are flagged and fixed, instead of losing data unnoticed.
