Software Integration in Ludlow
Most businesses run several software systems that do not share data with each other: a CRM with no idea about invoicing data, a job management tool that does not update the stock system, a website that does not push leads directly into the database. The result is double-entry, inconsistencies between systems, staff wasting time exporting and importing spreadsheets, and decisions made on incomplete information. Crushed Ice builds the integration layer that connects your software, moving and transforming data automatically, in real time, without manual intervention. We work with REST APIs, webhooks, SFTP feeds, database connections, and custom middleware, connecting modern SaaS platforms and legacy systems alike.
Crushed Ice provides software integration to businesses throughout Ludlow. Whether you're based in the town centre or surrounding areas, our team delivers the same level of service — remotely or on-site as needed.

What we connect
01
REST & GraphQL APIs
Connect to any system with a modern API: CRMs, accounting platforms, e-commerce, ERP, marketplaces, and third-party services.
02
Real-Time Webhooks
Data pushed the moment events occur. No polling delays, no stale data sitting in one system while another waits.
03
Database-Level Integration
Direct SQL integration for legacy systems that don't have APIs - read, transform, and write across databases securely.
04
File-Based & SFTP Feeds
Automated import and export of CSV, XML, JSON, EDI, and custom file formats - for older enterprise systems that predate APIs.
05
Error Handling & Alerting
Failed syncs are caught, logged, and alerted. Data integrity is maintained even when external systems are temporarily unavailable.
06
Centralised Integration Hub
One integration layer connecting multiple systems. Add new connections without rewriting what already exists.
How integration works
1
System Audit — We map every system your business uses - what data lives where, what each system owns, and where the duplication or inconsistency is happening. We identify which integrations will deliver the most value.
2
Integration Design — We design the data flows - which system is the source of truth for each data type, how data transforms between formats, what triggers a sync, and how conflicts are handled. This is agreed before development begins.
3
Build & Test — We build the integration layer - API connections, transformation logic, error handling, and monitoring. Testing uses real data from your systems to catch edge cases before go live.
4
Deploy & Monitor — Integrations are deployed with logging and alerting in place. We monitor data flows, catch any failures, and handle ongoing changes to connected systems as part of your monthly support.
How it works in practice
CRM to Accounting Sync
A professional services firm was maintaining client records in Salesforce and billing data in Xero independently. When a client's details changed, someone had to update both systems manually - and often didn't, leading to invoices going to wrong addresses.
→ Crushed Ice built a two-way sync between Salesforce and Xero - client data, invoice status, and payment information flowing automatically between the systems. Data inconsistency errors dropped to zero.
E-commerce to ERP Integration
A product retailer processing 500+ orders per week was manually exporting orders from their Shopify store and importing them into their ERP system. The process took two hours every morning and errors caused stock discrepancies.
→ Real-time integration pushed Shopify orders directly into the ERP as they were placed, updated stock levels back to Shopify automatically, and flagged fulfilment updates to customers. The two-hour daily process was eliminated entirely.
Multi-Platform Lead Consolidation
A property company was receiving leads from five sources - their website, Rightmove, Zoopla, a referral platform, and their own app - each going to a different email address and requiring manual entry into their CRM.
→ A centralised integration captured leads from all five sources, normalised the data into a consistent format, and posted each lead into their CRM within seconds of receipt. No leads were missed and average response time improved from 4 hours to 12 minutes.
Legacy System with Modern Connections
A logistics firm had a bespoke transport management system with no API. They needed it to exchange data with a new fleet tracking platform and their customer self-service portal - but the TMS vendor wouldn't add an API.
→ Crushed Ice built a database-level integration that read directly from and wrote to the TMS database, passing data to the new systems via a secure middleware layer. The TMS vendor was never involved.
