Leads, quotes customers sign online, store orders, installs, rentals and an accounting sync that checks itself daily.
Accounting, CRM and field systems connected with reliable data handoffs — so the job your crew logged becomes the invoice your office sends, without anyone retyping it and without a month-end reconciliation to find out what went wrong.
Systems integration connects the software a business already runs, so a job entered once is correct in the CRM, the field app and the books. AltaMatic builds API integrations, QuickBooks, Sage and Xero connections and data migrations, with clear ownership of each field and failures that surface the day they happen.
When two systems do not talk, somebody becomes the integration — exporting, re-keying, reconciling, and catching the mistakes. That work is invisible on an org chart and expensive in practice, because it scales with volume and stops when that person is away.
A job is entered in the field app, re-keyed into the office system, then typed again into accounting. Three copies, three chances to diverge, and no single one that is authoritative when they disagree.
Somebody spends days each month making two systems agree. That work produces no new information — it exists only because the handoff between the systems was never built.
A sync stops and nothing announces it. The first symptom is a number that looks wrong weeks later, and by then nobody can say when it started or what else it touched.
A CSV downloaded, massaged and re-uploaded is not a connection — it is a person, on a schedule, doing a job a system should do, and it stops the moment that person is away.
A tool pushes data out but will not take it back, so the correction made in one place never reaches the other and the two versions drift permanently apart.
The connector your operation needs is on someone else's backlog, behind their priorities, and no amount of asking moves it up the list.
Cloud software is now the most common business technology in Canada. Systems that exchange data with each other automatically are still rare.

The integration work an established operation usually needs. Which of these applies depends on the systems you run.
Invoices, payments, customers and job costs moving between your operational system and QuickBooks, Sage or Xero on a defined schedule, in a defined direction, with one side authoritative for each field.
Leads, contacts, quotes and won work flowing between the systems that sell and the systems that deliver, so the operations side starts with what sales already captured.
Scheduling, dispatch and field apps connected to the office record, so what a crew logs on site becomes what the office bills without anyone retyping it.
Retries, idempotent writes and queueing so a momentary outage on either side is recovered from rather than silently dropped, and the same message arriving twice does not produce two records.
Integrations that report their own health. When a handoff fails it raises itself to someone who can act, rather than waiting to be discovered in a month-end variance.
An explicit decision, per field, about which system wins — written down and enforced in code, so conflicts resolve the same way every time instead of by whoever edited last.
Click any platform to see what typically moves into your system and what your system sends back. The pattern is the same every time: one record entered once, each field owned by exactly one system, and a failed handoff that raises itself.

Typical flows, not a finished connector. Each build sets which system owns each field, what retries, and what happens when a handoff fails. Logos are examples of platforms we build against — not partnerships or certifications.
Integration work has done its job when the monthly reconciliation stops being a task, corrections made in one place show up in the other, and a broken handoff tells you it is broken on the day it happens rather than at quarter end. The measure is not how many systems are connected — it is how much human work the connection removed.
One system, not five
General contractor · live in production
The clearest integration outcome we can point to is a general contractor whose office had accumulated five separate systems and now runs on one, with the handoffs that used to be manual built into the platform. An Edmonton landscaping company's on-site quoting similarly depends on pricing and job data being correct in one place rather than re-entered. Both results are client-reported.
The wiring between the systems you already pay for, so a job is entered once and lands everywhere.
The integration layer between your systems, built for the day a vendor changes the schema.
QuickBooks, Sage and Xero wired to your operation so nothing gets entered twice.
History moved across intact, duplicates resolved, and reconciled against the old system.
Building the handoffs between the systems you already run so a record entered once is correct everywhere it is needed. In practice that is usually the operational system, the accounting package and whatever the field uses — connected with defined directions, defined ownership per field, and error handling that surfaces failures instead of hiding them.
Our catalogue currently lists 52 platforms we build against, covering accounting, CRM, field service, payments, messaging and document systems. That list describes capability, not a shelf of finished connectors and not a partnership or certification with those vendors — each integration is scoped and built against your systems.
It should announce itself. We build handoffs that retry on transient failures, avoid creating duplicates when the same message arrives twice, and escalate to a person when something genuinely cannot be delivered. The failure mode we design against is the silent one — a sync that stops and is discovered weeks later in a number that looks wrong.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Where a platform exposes no usable interface we will tell you that directly, along with the realistic options — a file-based handoff on a schedule, a change to which system holds that data, or leaving the step manual because automating it would be fragile. We would rather scope honestly than ship a connector that breaks the first time the vendor changes a page.
No. Integration work stands on its own — plenty of operations keep every system they have and simply need the handoffs between them to be reliable. It also pairs naturally with an operational software build, where the new system becomes the record of work and the existing accounting and field tools stay exactly where they are.

30 minutes. We map which systems you run, where data is being retyped or reconciled by hand, and what it would take to make those handoffs reliable — whether you build them with us or not.
