Our systems are old and don't have APIs. Can you still integrate?

Sometimes. Older systems without APIs can often be integrated via database connections, file exports or screen scraping as a last resort. We'll assess what's possible and advise honestly on the trade-offs before recommending an approach.

How do you handle data security during integration?

Data security is considered throughout every integration project. We use encrypted connections, store credentials securely, apply the principle of least privilege to any API access and document data flows clearly. Where data privacy regulations apply - GDPR in particular - we make sure the integration handles personal data correctly.

What if one of the systems we're integrating changes its API?

API changes are a reality of integration work. We build monitoring that alerts us when integrations break and we maintain integrations we have built. Where we know an API is likely to change, we build the integration in a way that makes updates straightforward.

Can you integrate AI tools we've already purchased?

Yes. If you've invested in an AI tool and need help connecting it to your existing systems, we can take on the integration work. Get in touch with the details of what you have and what you need it to connect to.

How long does an integration project take?

A straightforward API integration between two systems typically takes one to two weeks. More complex integrations involving multiple systems, data transformation or significant error handling take longer. We scope in detail before quoting so you get a fixed price.

AI that works within your existing systems

AI Integration Sheffield

AI tools deliver most of their value when they're connected to your existing systems - not sitting alongside them. We handle the integration work that makes AI capability part of your workflow rather than a separate tool your team has to remember to use.

The integration problem

Why AI tools often fail to deliver on their promise.

Most businesses that invest in AI tools get a fraction of the potential value because the tools aren't properly integrated. A chatbot that can't access live product data gives inaccurate answers. An AI that generates content but can't publish it requires manual copy-paste to be useful. An automation that can't write to your CRM produces output that lives in a silo.

Integration is the work that connects AI capability to the systems where it needs to operate. It's often the part that gets underestimated in an AI project - and it's usually why AI implementations that looked good in a demo don't deliver in production.

What we integrate

Integration use cases we deliver.

We work across brand identity, digital design and print-ready artwork. Most projects involve a combination of these - a business that needs a new brand identity usually also needs it applied to their website, their marketing materials and their social profiles.

CRM integration

Connecting AI tools to your CRM - reading contact and deal data to personalise AI outputs, writing back lead scores, conversation summaries, qualification data and next actions. Makes AI a seamless part of your sales process rather than a separate step.

eCommerce platform integration

Connecting AI to your online store - live product data for chatbot recommendations, inventory status for automated responses, order data for customer service automation and purchase history for personalisation.

Website and CMS integration

Integrating AI-generated content into your CMS workflow, connecting chatbots to your website's data layer, pulling live information into AI-powered search or recommendation features on the front end.

Third-party API integration

Connecting AI tools to external data sources and services - booking systems, payment platforms, logistics APIs, industry-specific data sources. If it has an API, we can connect to it.

Internal tool integration

Connecting AI capability to the internal tools your team uses - project management platforms, communication tools, document systems. AI that surfaces information where your team is already working rather than requiring them to go somewhere else to access it.

Data pipeline integration

Building the data pipelines that feed AI systems with the information they need - structured data from multiple sources, cleaned and formatted correctly, delivered reliably. The quality of AI output depends entirely on the quality of data input.

How we approach integration

What good AI integration looks like.

Integration projects fail most often because the scope isn't well defined at the start. A vague "connect our AI to our CRM" becomes a project that expands as edge cases emerge. We prevent this by scoping in detail - exactly what data needs to flow where, in what format, triggered by what events, with what error handling.

We document the integration architecture before writing a line of code
We test against real data from your systems, not sample data
We build error handling and monitoring so failures are caught and logged, not silent
We write documentation so your team understands what the integration does and how to maintain it
We hand over fully - code, documentation and credentials

What to expect

What a well-built AI integration delivers.

AI capability that works within your existing workflow rather than alongside it
Accurate, real-time data flowing to AI systems so outputs are reliable
A clear audit trail of what data moved where and when
Reduced manual effort at the points where AI and human workflow currently meet
A codebase you own - no dependency on us or a third-party platform to keep it running

“Had an e-commerce site that wasn’t working correctly. They offered advice and helped us move to a different platform. Thanks so much!”

Ellen Carroll

“Anybody looking for a website marketing company this is the only company you need to deal with. These guys Ian and Tom know what they’re doing. Very very good and knowledgeable and don’t just take your money and do nothing in return they give excellent service. I was recommended to these guys after going through a very bad experience with another company and I wish I’d found them sooner. Nothing is too much trouble and there always there when I need advice and guidance. I’d give 10 stars if I could!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ian and Tom helped me bring my idea alive despite me knowing zero about web design. Approachable, enthusiastic and patient, all great qualities that helped me navigate my way into the unknown world of setting up my own business. They made it seem less scary, and worked with me at my pace, and with my time zone! Come to Florida Ian and Tom first rounds on me. Professional, quality and very reasonably priced. Will absolutely recommend. 5 stars from me.”
