We build REST and GraphQL APIs, AI and LLM integrations, and the enterprise system connections that let businesses move data automatically instead of manually. Our clients span ecommerce, manufacturing, SaaS, logistics, and financial services, but the same approach applies to any business connecting more than one system together.
Our API practice covers API-first architecture design, AI and LLM integration, ERP and CRM connectivity, real-time event-driven integrations, legacy API modernization, API security, monitoring and observability, microservices architecture, headless commerce APIs, and partner and B2B API development.
We work with ecommerce brands needing supplier and marketplace integrations, manufacturers needing dealer portal and ERP connectivity, SaaS companies needing public and partner APIs, and logistics businesses needing real-time carrier and tracking integrations.
Every API engagement begins with architecture documentation: endpoint design, authentication model, versioning strategy, and data contract, because these decisions determine whether the API remains maintainable as more systems connect to it over time.
From AI-powered search APIs grounding LLM responses in business data to event-driven webhook architectures that update inventory the moment an order is placed, we build at the depth modern API architecture requires.

Technologies We Use
Built for Modern Platforms
We build secure, scalable APIs with REST, GraphQL, third-party integrations, authentication, webhooks, and performance optimization that connect systems, automate workflows, and support business growth.
Businesses are increasingly designing APIs as a core part of their application architecture, making it easier to connect websites, mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and business systems from day one rather than retrofitting connectivity later. This matters most in SaaS, ecommerce, financial services, healthcare, and enterprise applications, where the number of systems needing to communicate only grows over time. We design REST and GraphQL API architecture, produce documentation before implementation begins, and build for the scale the API will need once more than the first consumer connects.
AI is becoming a core part of modern applications, and APIs are the connective layer linking AI and LLM services to business data, applications, and workflows. This is particularly relevant to SaaS, ecommerce, healthcare, financial services, and professional services businesses adding AI capability to systems they already run. We build the API integration layer connecting OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic to existing business applications, powering AI search, recommendations, and automation without requiring the underlying application to be rebuilt around the AI feature.
Businesses use APIs to connect ERP, CRM, ecommerce, PIM, payment, accounting, and inventory platforms, reducing the manual data entry that consumes staff time and introduces errors. This matters most in ecommerce and retail, manufacturing and B2B, logistics, construction, and professional services, where multiple systems need to share data continuously. We build the integration layer connecting these systems so information moves automatically rather than through a manual export and import process someone has to remember to run.
Businesses increasingly need systems to exchange information in real time rather than relying on scheduled data transfers that leave data stale between runs. This is especially relevant to ecommerce, logistics, financial services, SaaS, and manufacturing, where a delayed inventory update or shipment status can create a real operational problem. We build webhook and event-driven architectures that trigger actions the moment an event occurs, order placed, inventory changed, shipment updated, with the retry logic and idempotency handling that reliable event delivery requires.
Organizations with legacy applications are modernizing older APIs and integrations as part of broader application modernization and cloud migration initiatives, particularly in enterprise software, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, and government. We restructure legacy APIs, migrate integrations to modern frameworks, and build the bridge layer that lets a legacy system continue operating while new applications connect to it through a properly documented, versioned API rather than the undocumented direct database access legacy integrations often relied on.
As businesses expose more data and functionality through APIs, security has become a fundamental part of API development rather than an afterthought, particularly for financial services, healthcare, ecommerce, SaaS, and B2B applications handling sensitive data. We implement secure API architecture with OAuth 2.0 authentication, granular authorization, API gateways for centralized access control, rate limiting to prevent abuse, and security testing that verifies the API holds up under adversarial conditions, not just normal usage.
As the number of APIs and integrations grows, businesses need real visibility into API performance, usage, errors, and availability, which matters most for enterprise applications, SaaS, ecommerce, and B2B platforms running many concurrent integrations. We implement API monitoring and logging that tracks error rates and latency per endpoint, usage analytics that show which integrations matter most, and the versioning and documentation practices that keep the API manageable as its consumer base grows beyond what a single team can track informally.
APIs remain a fundamental component of microservices and modular architectures, allowing different application components to communicate while being developed and scaled independently, which matters most for SaaS, enterprise software, ecommerce, and other high-scale applications. We design the service-to-service API contracts that let individual components be deployed, scaled, and maintained independently, building the modular architecture that supports a growing engineering team without every change requiring coordination across the entire application.
Headless commerce is increasing the importance of APIs for connecting storefronts with product catalogs, inventory, payments, search, personalization, and other commerce services, particularly for ecommerce and retail businesses operating across multiple channels. We build the API layer connecting Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento to custom storefronts, along with the product, inventory, and payment integrations that headless commerce architecture depends on to function as a complete, connected shopping experience rather than a disconnected frontend.
Businesses are increasingly exposing APIs to suppliers, dealers, distributors, and strategic partners to automate data exchange and create connected business ecosystems, which matters most for manufacturing and B2B, ecommerce, logistics, SaaS, and distribution businesses. We build partner APIs that give dealers and distributors programmatic access to pricing, inventory, and order management, replacing the manual phone and email ordering process with a system that scales to hundreds of partners without adding headcount.
The choice between REST and GraphQL is an architecture decision that should be made per API, not adopted as a single company-wide default. We use REST for simple, resource-oriented, publicly cacheable endpoints where broad tooling support and a lower integration learning curve matter, and GraphQL for applications with complex, deeply nested data relationships where reducing over-fetching meaningfully improves performance. Many of the systems we build use both, REST for public integrations and GraphQL for the application’s own complex internal data needs.
