Remove manual hand-offs
Replace re-keying and spreadsheet transfers with controlled exchange between the systems already used by the business.
Custom systems integration / Melbourne
Braddon IT designs and delivers integrations between business platforms, Microsoft services and operational workflows—resolving data ownership, security, failure handling and supportability before an integration enters production.
A useful integration does more than move data. It establishes which system owns each record, how changes are validated, what happens when a transaction fails and who can support the solution.
Replace re-keying and spreadsheet transfers with controlled exchange between the systems already used by the business.
Validate and transform information at the boundary so downstream systems receive consistent, usable records.
Trigger predictable actions when business events occur, reducing process delay without removing necessary decisions.
Introduce logging, exception paths and reconciliation so incomplete transactions can be identified and resolved.
Engagements can address a single critical interface or the integration layer supporting a broader transformation programme.
Connect platforms through supported REST APIs and vendor interfaces, with clear request, response and error behaviour.
Coordinate multi-step processes, approvals, notifications and system actions without obscuring business ownership.
Define source-of-truth fields, translate data structures and validate records before they cross system boundaries.
Select real-time, webhook, queued or scheduled processing according to the operating requirement—not platform fashion.
Use Microsoft Graph, Power Platform and PowerShell for governed automation across Microsoft 365 and adjacent systems.
Expose integration state, failed transactions and recovery actions so the delivered solution remains supportable.
Integration architecture
The design resolves how data moves, how access is controlled and how operations continue when a vendor API, record or dependent service behaves unexpectedly.
Map business events, actors, current workarounds, application boundaries and the intended measurable outcome.
Review supported APIs, authentication methods, rate limits, data availability and vendor platform constraints.
Define system responsibilities, data contracts, transformation rules, transaction sequence and processing pattern.
Limit integration identities and permissions, protect credentials and separate production access from development activity.
Determine retry, duplicate prevention, failed-record handling, reconciliation and safe replay behaviour.
Validate expected transactions, edge cases and failure modes before a controlled production cutover.
Document ownership, configuration, support procedures and operational signals required to maintain the integration.
Different business events need different processing models. The design should reflect latency, volume, system constraints and the consequence of a failed transaction.
Immediate request and response where users or downstream processes require a current result.
Action initiated by a change in a source platform, with validation and controlled downstream processing.
Predictable exchange for workloads where volume, rate limits or business timing make scheduled processing appropriate.
Automation that retains approval, review or exception decisions where judgement and accountability remain necessary.
Microsoft ecosystem
Microsoft tools are selected where they provide the right governance and operating model—not forced onto every integration problem.
Workforce and job-management systems connected through a custom API integration.
Braddon IT developed an API integration between Deputy and WorkflowMax to automate data exchange between workforce and job-management processes.
The engagement demonstrates the core work common to custom integration delivery: understanding each platform, mapping data, defining transaction behaviour and implementing a supported system-to-system interface.
Integration work often intersects with Microsoft tenant design, information architecture and identity controls.
Define the integration
Start with the business event, source systems, operational constraints and required outcome. The appropriate integration architecture follows from there.
