API & EDI Integration Services

Most businesses do not struggle because of a lack of software. They struggle because their software does not talk to each other.

Orders live in one system. Accounting lives in another. Shipping data is exchanged over email or FTP. Reports are built manually. Teams re-enter the same information multiple times.

Integration solves this.

At Centreville Tech, we design and build API and EDI integrations that connect your systems securely and reliably. We have significant experience integrating platforms such as Make (make.com), HubSpot, Magaya, Project44, DrayRates, and many others—with particular depth in freight and logistics and long-term care. Those skills translate directly to manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and other sectors where data must move reliably between systems.

We help Alabama and Southeast businesses move data automatically between platforms so your team can focus on running the company, not managing spreadsheets. We are based in Centreville, Alabama. When we build an integration, we treat it like critical infrastructure, because it is. See our work for integration and operations examples.

Why Integration Matters

When systems are disconnected, businesses experience:

• Duplicate data entry
• Delayed reporting
• Inventory mismatches
• Billing errors
• Missed shipments
• Compliance risks

These issues cost time, money, and trust.

An effective integration:

• Moves data in real time or on schedule
• Validates and transforms information correctly
• Logs activity clearly
• Fails safely and alerts the right people
• Scales as transaction volume increases

Integration is not just about connecting two systems. It is about designing the logic that governs how data flows between them.

What We Integrate

We work across a wide range of protocols, formats, and systems, including:

• REST APIs
• SOAP services
• JSON and XML data feeds
• EDI transactions
• Secure FTP workflows
• Webhooks
• Custom internal APIs
• Third-party SaaS platforms

We have hands-on experience connecting and automating Make (make.com), HubSpot, Magaya, Project44, DrayRates, and similar platforms—so your CRM, TMS, visibility tools, and automation workflows talk to each other without manual re-entry or fragile point-to-point scripts.

Whether you are connecting an ERP to a logistics provider, automating EDI document exchange in freight and logistics, synchronizing systems in long-term care, or wiring data across manufacturing and distribution, we design solutions that are stable and maintainable. Our depth in freight, logistics, and long-term care means we understand the compliance, timing, and operational pressures in those spaces; the same discipline applies to other industries.

EDI Integration Done Correctly

EDI is still the backbone of many industries, especially freight and logistics, manufacturing, retail, long-term care, and distribution.

We help businesses:

• Automate EDI document processing
• Validate incoming and outgoing transactions
• Map EDI data to internal systems
• Handle acknowledgments and error reporting
• Maintain compliance with trading partners

Many EDI setups work until they do not. When something breaks, it can halt operations.

We design EDI integrations with clear logging, validation layers, and structured error handling so problems are caught early and corrected quickly.

API Development and Automation

Modern APIs allow systems to communicate in real time. We build and maintain APIs that are secure, well-structured, and ready for production use.

Our backend work often uses Laravel for its stability, security model, and long-term maintainability. We design APIs with:

• Clear authentication and authorization
• Structured validation
• Consistent response formatting
• Thoughtful rate limiting
• Comprehensive logging

We deploy on reliable infrastructure, including cloud environments such as Linode under Akamai’s network, ensuring performance and availability for Southeast businesses that rely on uptime.

For businesses operating in regional network environments, we understand the importance of connectivity and performance. We design integrations that account for real-world latency, bandwidth, and redundancy needs.

Intelligent Automation and AI-Assisted Workflows

Automation is not just about moving data. It is about making decisions with that data.

We incorporate conditional logic and AI-assisted processing where appropriate, including:

• Automated data classification
• Intelligent document parsing
• Validation against business rules
• Structured output generation
• Local AI deployments when data privacy is critical

We are careful about how AI is used. It is a tool, not a replacement for responsible engineering.

We understand the risks of prompt injection, unvalidated inputs, and uncontrolled output generation. When AI is involved in a production workflow, we implement safeguards, validation layers, and strict boundaries so your systems remain predictable and secure.

If your business needs AI integrated into operational systems, we design it responsibly.

Secure Data Handling

Integration often involves sensitive data: customer records, financial transactions, shipment details, and proprietary information.

We implement:

• Encrypted data transmission
• Secure authentication methods
• Role-based access control
• Structured logging
• Audit trails
• Environment separation for testing and production

Craftsmanship in integration work means building systems that your compliance team and your operations team can trust.

Our Process

We begin with understanding your business processes, not your endpoints.

1. Map the Workflow

We document:

• Where data originates
• How it is transformed
• Where it needs to go
• What exceptions exist
• What happens when something fails

2. Design the Architecture

We define:

• API structures
• Data mapping logic
• Error handling strategy
• Logging and monitoring approach
• Deployment environment

3. Build and Test in Controlled Stages

We test integrations in staging environments before production deployment. We validate edge cases. We simulate failure conditions. We confirm that logs and alerts function correctly.

4. Deploy and Monitor

Once live, we monitor performance and provide ongoing support. Integration work is not a one-time event. Systems evolve, and we stay involved.

Why Work With a Southeast-Based Firm

When your business depends on automated data exchange, you need accountability.

We are not an anonymous offshore development shop. We work with businesses across Alabama and the Southeast who need dependable partners.

You can call us. You can meet with us. We understand the regulatory, operational, and regional realities that local companies face.

For many organizations—especially in freight and logistics, long-term care, telecom, manufacturing, and distribution—having a domestic partner who understands compliance and business risk matters. Our experience with Make, HubSpot, Magaya, Project44, DrayRates, and EDI in those verticals translates to other sectors that demand the same reliability.

What You Can Expect

When you engage Centreville Tech for API or EDI integration work, you can expect:

• Clear scope definition
• Honest timelines
• Transparent pricing
• Documentation you can retain
• Systems designed for long-term support

We will tell you when an integration should be simple. We will also tell you when complexity needs to be addressed properly. Ready to connect your systems? Schedule a free consultation and we’ll review your setup.

Our responsibility is to build systems that protect your operations, not just connect endpoints.

Industries We Integrate For

Our integration work runs deepest in logistics and freight — freight forwarders, 3PLs, and supply chain operators whose business depends on reliable EDI and API data exchange. We also serve manufacturing and supply chain operators connecting ERP, TMS, and visibility platforms. Telecom operators use our integration work to tie provisioning systems, billing platforms, and OSS/BSS tools together. For media and nonprofit organizations, we connect donation platforms, CRMs, and content systems.
