ASES develops APIs and integrations so that your programs work with the same data. We connect ERP, CRM, shop and accounting as well as payment services, shipping, marketplaces and your own software, such as SAP, DATEV, HubSpot, Shopify or Stripe. Your programs stay, and the data flows between them without anyone typing it in. If a suitable interface is missing, have us build it. On request, we also look after your interfaces during ongoing operation.
Choose where your systems stand today. The map shows your next step and what you get after each phase.
Your first step
We start with a process your team transfers by hand today, such as an order that someone enters into the ERP. Using it, we clarify with you which details should flow automatically in the future.
Enough to get started
The names of the programs you work with, and one process that runs by hand today.
Your first step
We read your partner's requirements, such as their EDI guide or the marketplace's API documentation, check them against your ERP and describe the integration in the quote. Then we build it, via EDI or as an API integration.
Enough to get started
Your partner's requirements or documentation and your contact person there.
Your first step
First we look at which data is in the previous system and which of it should move over. Then we plan the data migration and integrations for the new system.
Enough to get started
Name and version of both systems. A data sample from the previous system helps if you would like to share one.
Your first step
We look at your existing interfaces, even if another company built them, and take over their support and extension.
Enough to get started
Access to the code or configuration and a list of the connected systems.
The comparison further down shows which path suits your systems.Four paths compared
An interface defines how two programs exchange data. Usually this happens through an API: one program requests data or reports a change, and the other responds in an agreed format.
That way, in an integration, several systems work with the same data, whether shop and ERP, CRM and accounting, or your own app and a payment service. No one has to re-enter by hand what another program already knows.
We build single API integrations as well as system integration across many programs. On request, we also open up your own systems to trading partners through an API.
Shop, inventory management, accounting and CRM show the same customers, prices and orders everywhere.

DHLBefore we build an interface, we define with you, for every type of data, which system it is maintained in, which systems take it over and when it flows. That way, your programs do not overwrite each other. The example shows a typical distribution. We define yours in the data flow and quote phase.

How we carry over data when you change systemsData Integration & Migration
For every software integration, there are several paths, from a ready-made connector to a custom interface. Which one fits depends on how many systems are involved, how much data flows and how specific your processes are.
A plugin or app from the vendor connects two widely used systems.
With n8n, Make or Zapier, a workflow starts by itself as soon as something happens and passes the data to the next program.
An integration platform connects many systems through a central point. This can be custom software (middleware) or a rented service in the cloud (iPaaS).
We develop the connection for your systems and your data rules.
We give the reasons for the path we propose in the quote.
This is how we set up every interface before it goes live. During ongoing operation, we take over monitoring on request and let you know if an interface is not working as intended.
You know the price for your interfaces before development begins. The review of your systems before the quote is free. For development and launch, you pay a fixed price per project; for support, a flat monthly fee.
Development, one-off
After the launch, monthly
If you have a budget range, mention it in the initial consultation. We align the scope at launch with it and plan further integrations for later steps.
There are costs during ongoing operation as well: API fees from some providers, licenses for integration platforms or automation tools, hosting and maintenance. In the quote, we calculate these items over several years.
After full payment, we hand over everything you need to run your interfaces yourself or have them developed further by another team.
Accounts with integration platforms, marketplaces and cloud services are in your name from the start, and so are the API keys.
We write code and documentation so that a new team can also find its way around. You decide who looks after your interfaces in the future.
We connect the systems your team works with today and add what is missing.
Items, prices, stock and orders.
Invoices and records from the ERP.
Contacts, quotes and revenue.
Orders from the shop, items and stock from the ERP.
Marketplace orders in the ERP, stock up to date on every marketplace.
Every payment, matched to its order, in accounting and the ERP.
Orders to the shipping service, tracking numbers back to shop and ERP.
Individual workflows that an event in a program starts.
Answers on costs, systems, data flows, operation and data protection for your interfaces.
Tell us which programs your team uses and where data is transferred by hand today. We will get back to you as soon as possible and find a date for the initial consultation with you.
