While Xero pushes into the Australia market, we’re studying the possibility to integrate Xero and any other SaaS/On-premise applications.

Q: How will we do it?
A: We use a technology called Boomi to integrate Xero with all your other applications.

Q: What applications have we integrated before?
A: Too many to mention here, a few of them are (Salesforce, RightNow, Netsuite, etc), eCommerce (VirtueMart, eBay, Business Catalyst etc), Warehouse Management System (SmartTurn, etc), and of course database and flat file integrations.

Q: What type of information should you integrate?

A: Transfer your online purchases and transactions to your online accounting system, Xero.  Synchronise your Account and Contact data across all of your applications and gain visibility to your customer’s interactions with your company.  Here’s how we see Xero as part of an integrated system for your company:

We were first introduced to SmartTurn during our recent work with integrating to eBay - SmartTurn. SmartTurn is considered one of the ‘friendly’ applications to use due to its usability and the fact it’s easy to integrate with. The simple integration interface has enabled us to deliver a few more SmartTurn integration projects for our customers over the last couple of days.

The core of the process is illustrated in the diagram above. All sales orders are saved in a CSV file which is distributed through email. Sales records are retrieved and a SmartTurn sales order is created. Throughout the process there will be email and notification alerts indicating:

• items that do not exist in SmartTurn
• errors in creating a Sales Order
• a list of successfully created Sales Orders

Direct and automated! Interested and keen to get it implemented for your organisation too? Do contact us .

We have just released a 1.3 version of our Salesforce-MYOB pre-built integration.  The key new features are:

1. Personal Contacts in Salesforce can now be sync’d to MYOB Cards
2. The Salesperson name can be captured in Salesforce and transferred to MYOB to include in Sales Orders/Invoices
3. Duplicate Cards are now handled more gracefully, allowing Salesforce to create duplicate Cards in MYOB

Check out the website for some more detail on how it works.

Our ReadyMade integration tool that takes BC orders and creates MYOB paid invoices is now in beta - woohoo.

Interested in how it works? check out the documentation here.

Want to test it for us, great, contact us to get up and running in minutes.

Got two applications you think we should add to our ReadyMade roadmap? Drop us a line and let us know, we’re listening.

Researching some new ReadyMade possibilities for integration to Basecamp.

Seems Basecamp is hugely popular, as we’ve had some requests to take a look at how it might be integrated with a couple of key applications, such as Salesforce and Saasu.

Here’s my proposed flow between the Basecamp and Salesforce objects:

Integrate Basecamp with Salesforce

Integrating Basecamp to an online accounting application such as Saasu is different, here’s the objects and process I think will work.  Any feedback would be great, if we can validate the process flows and objects involved we can then design the solutions and build them.

Integrate Basecamp with Saasu

Working on a ReadyMade for Business Catalyst -> MYOB Accounting for cash sales, here’s the basic process:

This is in response to requests to automate the entry of ecommerce sales into MYOB, eliminating the need to manually key in each invoice.  It takes about 2-3 minutes for each invoice to be manually entered into MYOB, for companies entering even 20 invoices this can be painful.

We should be ready to test in early October, let us know if you are interested to participate in our beta cycle?

If you are interested in different Business Catalyst or MYOB integrations that we don’t have on our website, then why not suggest them to us and we can do some research and blog about our plans and findings.

Worked on our roadmap for ReadyMade’s for the rest of the year.  So far I’ve got:

1. Salesforce -> Quickbooks (Australia)
2. Business Catalyst -> MYOB
3. Salesforce -> MYOB Retail Manager
4. SugarCRM -> MYOB

If I’m off the mark it would be great to get input.  We’ve put up a text box here to take input from site visitors, no questions asked.

The Salesforce to Saasu RIO ReadyMade integration solution now includes payment information updated to Salesforce.  Here’s the new application integration process flow:

We have built an LDAP Connector using the Boomi Atomsphere SDK.  The requirement was for Active Directory (AD) to Netsuite application integration for the synchronisation of Contact and authentication information between the client’s AD implementation and their Netsuite customer portal.  We chose to build an LDAP Connector for the solution. The Connector  can create, modify and activate users. It also can create Active Directory OU’s and groups and add the users to the groups. The connector supports SSL as well as non SSL communications

With the LDAP connector we can now integrate LDAP with other hosted or on-premise solutions such as SalesForce, RightNow, Sassu and many more.

For more information contact us.

We’re looking at integrating the MYOB Retail Manager product to salesforce.com.   This would be a new ReadyMade solution, providing a pre-built solution that integrates the following:

No date set for development and release, but it’s on our roadmap, we’ll keep you posted.
