API Integration
An API integration is a digital bridge that connects two or more systems, enabling them to automatically exchange data without you having to lift a finger. API stands for Application Programming Interface, and with an API integration, you can automate many processes that would otherwise require manual entry and time-consuming workflows.
API integrations play a crucial role in modern inventory management and WMS systems, where efficient data sharing between, for example, webshops, accounting software, and warehouse platforms is the key to smooth and error-free operations.

How Does an API Integration Work?
Imagine running a business with a webshop, an accounting system, and an inventory management system. Without an API integration, you may need to manually create orders, update stock levels, and transfer data to your financial system. This isn’t just slow – it also increases the risk of errors.
With an API integration, everything happens automatically:
A customer purchases a product in your webshop.
The order is automatically created in your WMS or inventory management system.
Order data is sent to your accounting system, where an invoice can be generated.
