Can you integrate with EHRs, EDI trading partners, or plant equipment?

Yes to all three — they are different dialects of the same discipline. Clinical systems speak HL7 v2 and FHIR, and we've built EHR-integrated healthcare software under HIPAA. Retail and logistics partners speak EDI (850s, 856s, 810s). Plant equipment speaks whatever its era shipped with — we've integrated conveyor systems with MRP, built a packing-to-shipping line system into an existing process flow, and connected warehouse automation to fulfillment software.

System Integration Services | ERP, CRM, EDI

Walk through most growing businesses and you can find the integration gaps by looking for the people who type the same thing twice. Orders from the web store re-keyed into the ERP. Invoices from the ERP re-keyed into accounting. The CRM that doesn't know what the customer actually bought. The lab system and the EHR connected by a printer and a scanner. Each gap costs a few minutes per record — and a percentage of records get the minutes wrong, which is where the real cost lives: the wrong thing shipped, the invoice that doesn't match, the month-end that takes a week because reconciliation is archaeology.

The software vendors' answer is their own ecosystem — buy everything from one suite and integration is included. Real businesses don't work that way. You run the ERP that fits your industry, the accounting your CPA knows, the store your customers came for, and the twelve-year-old system that runs the plant and isn't going anywhere. The integration question is never "which suite?" — it's "how do these specific systems, chosen for good reasons, get connected without replacing any of them?"

That is the work Aslan does. REST APIs and webhooks where systems have them; EDI, HL7/FHIR, file exchange, and direct database work where they don't; controlled automation for the genuinely closed legacy system. Engineered like production software — idempotent, logged, monitored, alerting a named person when the other side goes down — because an integration that fails silently is how a month of orders quietly never reaches accounting.

What We Connect

Six integrations we build most

ERP & production systems

Orders, inventory, BOMs, and job status flowing between your ERP and everything around it. We've integrated conveyor automation directly with MRP so production flow and the plan stay in sync without a clipboard in between.

Accounting

QuickBooks, Sage, and their peers fed automatically — invoices from delivery data, payments matched, customers synced. Month-end stops being reconciliation archaeology when the numbers were never re-keyed.

E-commerce & marketplaces

Web store orders into the ERP, inventory back out to the store, tracking numbers to the customer — across your own store and the marketplaces, without overselling stock you already sold elsewhere.

CRM & customer data

The CRM that actually knows what the customer bought, owes, and asked about last time — because it's connected to the ERP, accounting, and support systems instead of being a silo of hopeful notes. See our custom CRM development work.

Healthcare & clinical systems

EHR integration over HL7 v2 and FHIR — intake, referrals, results, and billing data moving under HIPAA instead of over a fax machine. Full depth on our healthcare software page.

Warehouse & plant equipment

Scanners, scales, conveyors, label printers, and storage systems speaking to your operational software. Our packing-to-shipping line and hospital specimen storage automation builds are this pattern in production.

The Craft

Every system has a door. Few are the same door.

Integration marketing implies every system has a clean modern API. About half do. The craft is in the other half, and in choosing the right door instead of forcing the preferred one:

REST APIs and webhooks where they exist — the clean case, though "has an API" and "has an API that exposes what you need" are different claims we verify in discovery. EDI for retail and logistics trading partners — 850 purchase orders, 856 ship notices, 810 invoices — where the format is fixed and correctness is contractual. HL7 and FHIR for clinical systems. Scheduled file exchange — SFTP, CSV, fixed-width — unglamorous, utterly reliable, and often the only door a legacy system offers. Direct database work where the vendor permits it. And for the genuinely closed system, controlled interface automation: the same screens a human uses, driven precisely, logged completely.

The choice is an engineering decision made after we've seen what each system actually exposes — not before. Discovery on an integration project is mostly this: getting the real answer to "what does it expose?" from systems whose documentation was optimistic.

Engineering

Integrations fail. Ours fail loudly.

The other side will go down. The API will rate-limit on the busiest day. The file will arrive half-written. Vendors will change a field name in a minor release. None of this is pessimism — it's the operating environment, and it's why we engineer every integration on four rules: idempotent writes, so a retry can never create the duplicate order or double-post the invoice; full run logging, so "what synced last night" has an exact answer; loud failure, alerting a named person instead of drifting silently; and reconciliation, a periodic count-match between systems that catches whatever slipped past everything else.

Silent drift is the failure mode that costs real money — the integration that stopped three weeks ago while both systems kept running, apart. Everything above exists to make that impossible to miss.

Process

How we run an integration project

1 · Discovery

Inventory what each system actually exposes — API docs verified against reality, sample data pulled, the mapping drafted against real records rather than the brochure.

2 · Architecture

The data-flow map everyone signs: what moves, which direction, which system wins a conflict, what happens on failure. Field mapping agreed before code.

3 · Development

One seam at a time, each going live with its own verification window — trial runs against staging copies, then production with the counts watched. Never a big-bang cutover.

4 · Ownership

Code, mapping documentation, and run-logs delivered to your accounts. Most clients keep us monitoring the seams we built; the deprecation emails come to someone who reads them.

Proof

Integrations running in production

Conveyor automation integrated with MRP for production flow. A packing-to-shipping line system built into an existing process with minimal disruption. Warehouse fulfillment connected end to end. Hospital specimen storage automation speaking to clinical systems. Details on the case studies page. Our own operations run the same way — our CRM is integrated with our source control, our AI tooling, our email, and the hourly monitors watching every client site we maintain. When we describe an integration pattern, we are describing something we operate.

FAQ

Common integration questions

What does a system integration project cost?

It depends on how cooperative the systems are - a single seam between two modern APIs is a far smaller project than connecting an operation end to end through legacy systems and equipment. That is why we scope precisely in discovery. Whatever the size, it is built once and owned - not licensed annually.

Our system has no API. Can you still integrate it?

Almost always. Scheduled file exchange, direct database access where permitted, EDI, HL7/FHIR, parsed report exports, and controlled automation of the human interface for genuinely closed systems. Roughly half our integration work involves at least one system with no usable API.

Why not use an iPaaS like Zapier, Celigo, or MuleSoft?

Sometimes you should — for two cloud systems with good connectors and low volume, we'll recommend it. The fit breaks when a connector doesn't exist, volume makes per-task pricing a tax, the mapping logic outgrows the platform, or the integration touches on-premise systems and equipment. Enterprise iPaaS solves those at enterprise pricing, forever; a custom integration is a one-time build you own.

What happens when an integration fails at 2 a.m.?

It retries, logs, and alerts a named person — it does not fail silently and let the systems drift apart. Writes are idempotent so retries can't duplicate orders or double-post invoices, and a reconciliation report catches anything that slipped through.

Can you integrate with EHRs, EDI partners, or plant equipment?

Yes to all three. Clinical systems over HL7 v2 and FHIR under HIPAA; trading partners over EDI; and plant equipment speaking whatever its era shipped with — conveyors with MRP, packing lines, warehouse automation, specimen storage.

How long does an integration project take?

A single well-behaved integration typically ships in 3 to 6 weeks. Multi-system projects follow our 90-day methodology, connected one seam at a time with individual verification windows rather than a big-bang cutover.

Who owns and maintains the integration?

You own it — code, documentation, mapping logic, no per-sync fees. Vendors do change APIs, so most clients keep us on light support: we monitor the seams we built and adjust before anything breaks.
