SYSTEMS & API INTEGRATION
Systems & API Integration
Making the platforms a business already runs on talk to each other reliably.
Integration work fails on the parts nobody demos: retries, partial failures, duplicate delivery and reconciliation. That is where most of the effort goes and it is what separates an integration that runs unattended from one that needs a person watching it.

01 What we deliver
Everything included in a production engagement.
- Trading platform integration — MT4/MT5 account provisioning, trade and balance sync
- Messaging delivery with failover between WhatsApp Cloud API and SMS
- Document capture and OCR pipelines with a manual correction path
- Payment and billing provider integration
- Data migration and round-trip import from a legacy system
- Reconciliation and retry handling so failures surface instead of disappearing
How we engage
How an engagement starts.
Technical call
A working session, not a sales call. We go through what exists, what is breaking and what you actually need next. You leave with a straight answer about whether this is a good fit.
Written assessment
For anything involving an existing system, a short written document: what the architecture is, where the risk sits, and a recommended order of work. Fixed price, and yours to keep or hand to someone else.
Scope and terms
Scope, monthly commitment, rate and IP terms agreed in writing before work begins. Your repository, your infrastructure, your accounts.
Build and support
Weekly demos against a visible board. After go-live, support continues with the same person — there is no handover to a desk that has not read the code.
Frequently asked
Common questions about this capability.
Have you actually worked with MT4 and MT5?
Yes, on one engagement. A broker-supplied MT4/MT5 API was integrated into a client CRM covering account provisioning, trade and balance synchronisation, and introducing-broker commission calculation. To be clear about the boundary: that was integration against an existing platform, not building brokerage infrastructure, and it is one project rather than a specialism built over years.
Do you work with cTrader, TradeLocker or DXtrade?
No. I have not integrated those platforms and will not claim otherwise. The underlying work is similar and I could learn one, but you should weigh that against a specialist who has already shipped against the exact platform you use.
How do you handle an integration where the other side goes down?
Every outbound call is treated as unreliable. Work is queued rather than executed inline, retried with backoff, made idempotent so a replay cannot double-charge or double-send, and recorded so an operator can see exactly what happened. Where a message genuinely must arrive, a second channel takes over — the live hotel system fails over from WhatsApp to SMS this way.
Can you migrate our data off an old system?
Yes. The approach is to make the import round-trip first — export from the old system, import to the new one, export again and compare — so that discrepancies are found during migration rather than discovered by a user three months later. That comparison step is usually where the real problems in the old data become visible.
