engineering applications
We design and build the APIs and integrations that let your applications, partners and data work together. Information moves reliably between systems, without manual re-entry or fragile workarounds.
Overview
Integration & API Engineering helps organizations connect their applications, partners and data so business processes run smoothly across systems.
We assess your integration landscape, define clear patterns and standards, then build secure, documented APIs and integrations. Event-driven and real-time approaches are used where systems need to react quickly, and every integration includes monitoring and error handling.
The result is reliable data flow between systems, less manual work and faster delivery of new connections.
What gets in the way
Each new connection is built separately, creating a tangled web of integrations that is hard to change.
Staff re-key orders, customer details or invoices between systems, causing delays and errors.
When an integration fails, nobody is alerted, and problems surface only when users or customers complain.
Connecting each new supplier, customer or channel takes weeks of custom work.
APIs are built without consistent security, versioning or documentation, increasing risk and limiting reuse.
What we do
Each capability can be scoped on its own or combined into a larger programme of work.
Capability 01
Assess your integration landscape and design a target architecture with clear patterns, standards and platforms.
Capability 02
Design and build secure, documented and versioned APIs that applications, partners and customers can reuse.
Capability 03
Connect ERP, CRM, ITSM and custom applications so data and transactions flow automatically between them.
Capability 04
Use events and messaging so systems react to business changes as they happen, without tight coupling.
Capability 05
Secure, publish and monitor APIs, and connect partners through standard B2B formats and protocols.
What changes
How we work
Why Hinkor
We design APIs and integrations as reusable assets, so each new connection takes less effort than the last.
Every integration includes error handling, retries and alerts, so issues are caught before they affect the business.
We work across leading integration platforms and recommend the one that fits your landscape and skills.
Our enterprise application teams understand the systems being connected, not just the integration layer.
Engagement options
Start with a defined piece of work. If the scope is not clear yet, begin with an advisory engagement and decide the delivery shape afterwards.
Map your current integrations and data flows, and receive a target architecture and prioritized roadmap.
Build one high-value integration end to end to prove the platform, patterns and monitoring approach.

FAQ
If your question is not here, ask it directly.
Ask a direct questionNot always. A small number of connections can be built directly. As integrations grow, a platform provides reuse, monitoring and security. We assess your landscape and recommend the simplest approach that will scale.
Integration & API Engineering connects applications so they exchange data in real time to run business processes. Data Platforms & Engineering collects data from those applications for analytics, reporting and AI.
Direct integration through APIs is usually more reliable and is preferred where available. RPA suits systems without suitable APIs, or where a fast solution is needed before a longer-term integration is built.
Yes. We build partner integrations using APIs, EDI and secure file transfer, depending on what each partner supports, and standardize onboarding so new partners connect faster.
Each integration is handed over with monitoring, alerts and documentation. Your team can support it, or ongoing support can be provided through Application Management & Support.
