Systems Integration

Synchronise Your Website with Accounting, POS, Email Marketing or CRM Systems

If you have been searching for a solution to manage the flow of data around your organisation, why not consider an iFactory Systems Integration project for an automated unified business process.


Systems Integration Capabilities

A typical Systems Integration project involves integrating your existing Accounting, Point of Sale, Email Marketing or CRM software with your website. iFactory's CMS & eCommerce website's are built upon the world's most popular CMS system, Joomla. Joomla's power revolves around access to over 1500 extension to customise the system to your business's processes. With so many business software options available it makes sense to choose the business software that most suits you business and have iFactory integrate it with a website also built around the needs of your business.

Integration is a very important part of a successful Ecommerce or Internet Marketing project. Integration is crucial for keeping the data in your website up to date, reducing website maintenance costs, and also allowing orders to feed automatically into your existing business software.

Business Information Issues Addressed By Systems Integration

It is common during the systems integration process for new question to arise about how a business should optimally function. Organising disparate data systems to communicate poses questions on how to best structure your enterprise information. Typical considerations include:

  • Often the data in your Accounting or POS system is not in a suitable format to display to web visitors
  • Additional information about products is required above what resides in your accounting e.g. product images, product description
  • Data displayed on the website may be unique to the website and has to be structured so it is not overwritten by the updates from your business software each time an update occurs
  • It is often necessary to optimise data flows between your software and the web server as not all information needs to be updated continuously
