We have created several CRM-type applications which need to feed invoice data into SAGE Accounts. This is achieved via the SAGE Accounts SDK which we use to programmatically load the invoice details into SAGE without any human interaction required; this happens automatically during an invoice run.
Our client asked us to create a listener service which would capture emails sent to a nominated account in MS Exchange 365; this account was setup to receive all emails sent to/from all other company accounts so that email correspondence could be automatically uploaded to their CRM application – if the recipient/sender was linked to […]
We were asked to discover why a vital computer to computer link was prone to fail at embarrassing moments; bringing down the communication between employees clocking in and out and the third party payroll bureau. We discovered a hotch-potch of components written by long departed outside contractors, designed for Unix but co-erced into a Windows […]
We have, on a number of occasions, had the necessity to automatically extract or input data to or from third party software applications that we do not control and cannot alter. In these cases we have made our software ‘impersonate’ a user of the foreign system and get the job done.
This client was faced with a regular inflow of very large volumes of data that had to be made instantly available on more than 100 sites. The data formats varied hugely and severe technical constraints applied to the process. The Interface Developers consultant devised a highly flexible, fast and effective data packaging process that achieved […]
One of our clients had the requirement to convert data encoded in two-dimensional bar codes into XML for upload. We took on the task of identifying the bar-code format, looking up the specifications and finding the right software components to read it. We then packaged it all in an automatic application with user friendly editing […]
Quite often we get asked to automate data capture that currently relies on operators typing in data that has been printed from one computer system into a terminal on another. We have implemented simple hardware ‘taps’ to capture the raw data, decode it and upload it to the second system.
A lot of our systems generate email messages to confirm events that have occurred. Some of them automatically handle incoming emails, either to help users manage workloads or to carry out actions automatically.
