API Integration Services
The integration layer that connects every system you already own
Custom API integration built around your architecture, not ours. We map your systems, design the data contracts, build the endpoints, and hand you a stack that actually stays alive after go-live.
Pricing
Single endpoint from $2,400Full ERP stack from $12,000Architecture audit $800
Submit your brief → call within 48 hours → scoped proposal in 3 days → Sprint 1 within 1 week of sign-off
Your team's time investment across a full build is 2 to 3 hours per week: one audit kick-off call, async sign-off on the architecture brief, sprint reviews, and a final go-live validation. We handle everything else.
Your integrations are costing you more than you think
Every manual sync, every broken webhook, every off-hours alert, they compound. Here is what that looks like versus what it should look like.

How It Works
From signed statement of work to first API live in 18 days
Every integration engagement follows this five-step sequence. You get a fixed-scope phase, a clear handoff point, and a go-live date you can plan around.
Step 1 · Days 1 to 3
Integration Audit
We map every system involved: ERP, ecommerce, customer relationship management, fulfilment, analytics. We identify authentication methods, rate limits, data schemas, and latency constraints before a single line of code is written.
"systems_mapped": ["dynamics_365", "shopify_plus", "salesforce"],
"auth_methods": ["oauth2", "api_key"],
"rate_limits": { "erp": 500, "ecom": 40 },
"risk_flags": ["erp_soap_only"],
"recommended_pattern": "async_queue"
Step 2 · Days 4 to 7
Architecture Design
You receive a full architecture brief: data contract specs, error handling strategy, retry logic, dead-letter queue design, and an entity-relationship map. You review and sign off before build starts.
## Data Contract: inventory_sync
Source: ERP (SOAP) → Transform → Target: Shopify (REST)
Retry: exponential backoff, max 5 attempts
DLQ: orders.failed.queue (SNS)
Uptime SLA: 99.9% | Latency target: <200ms
Step 3 · Days 8 to 13
Build and Test
Endpoints are built against the agreed spec. Every integration includes unit tests, integration tests against sandbox environments, and a load test simulating 3x projected peak volume.
PASS inventory_sync_unit (47 tests)
PASS order_push_integration (12 tests)
PASS load_test: 3x peak (p99: 187ms)
PASS error_handling: dlq routing verified
Coverage: 94% | All green
Step 4 · Days 14 to 17
Go-Live and Deploy
Production deployment with traffic monitoring, rollback scripts pre-staged, and Redefine engineers on standby. First live sync is validated end-to-end with your team before we hand over the keys.

Client Story
Business-to-business promotional productsDrivingI: five systems connected, one coherent data layer
The problem
DrivingI's ERP, customer relationship management, and marketing platform operated as three separate data silos. Inventory levels were unreliable at point of sale. Customer approval workflows required manual email chains between departments. Reporting ran 48 hours behind.
What we built
Custom REST and webhook APIs connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, Salesforce customer relationship management, and a business intelligence reporting layer. Real-time inventory sync eliminated overselling. A custom approval API automated the business-to-business purchase workflow end-to-end.
The result
- 5 systems connected under a single API hub
- 0 manual reconciliation steps remaining
- 48-hour reporting lag reduced to real-time
"For the first time, our ops team and sales team were looking at the same inventory number at the same time. The approval workflow going from email chains to an API call cut our business-to-business order processing time significantly."

Under the Hood
The architecture layer that makes it reliable
Every integration we build follows the same core pattern: async queuing, structured error handling, dead-letter routing, and environment-isolated testing. This is what 99.97% uptime looks like in practice.
Why Redefine
What most API integration companies skip that we do not
Many API integration consulting engagements fail on process transparency and post-launch reliability. Here is where we differ.
| Capability | Typical partner | Redefine |
|---|---|---|
| Day-by-day implementation visibility | Weekly status calls only | Shared dashboard, real-time |
| Architecture brief before build | Starts coding without it | Signed off before day 8 |
| Fixed-price option available | Time-and-materials only | Fixed-price from $2,400 |
| Error handling designed upfront | Added reactively post-go-live | Dead-letter queue and retry in spec |
| Post-go-live hypercare period | Handoff ends on go-live day | 30-day direct Slack access |
| Standalone architecture audit | Only with full engagement | $800, credited to build |
Common Questions
API integration consulting: what you need to know
Most single-endpoint integrations go live within 14 to 18 days from signed statement of work. Multi-system projects (ERP plus customer relationship management plus ecommerce) typically take 6 to 10 weeks depending on authentication complexity and legacy system constraints. Every engagement starts with a 3-day audit that produces a realistic timeline before build begins.
Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Shopify Plus, Magento 2, NetSuite, and SAP are our most common source and target systems. We also work with custom-built platforms and legacy ERPs through REST, SOAP, and flat-file bridges. See our application integration services page for a fuller list.
Yes. Single-endpoint integrations start from $2,400 on a fixed-price basis. Full ERP-to-ecommerce stacks start from $12,000. Standalone architecture audits are $800 and are credited against any subsequent build. Time-and-materials retainers are also available for ongoing maintenance and expansion work.
Every integration we build includes structured error handling, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerting. If an upstream system goes down, jobs queue rather than fail silently. We also offer a 30-day hypercare period post-launch with direct Slack access to your build engineer, and ongoing managed support retainers for teams that want a longer safety net.
Yes. We build flat-file bridges, SFTP-based exchange layers, and database-level connectors for legacy systems with no REST or SOAP surface. Feasibility is assessed as part of the free architecture brief. In some cases a SOAP-to-REST adapter layer is the most pragmatic route.
Integration platform as a service tools like Zapier or MuleSoft are strong for standard connectors but often fall short on custom business logic, legacy SOAP endpoints, or high-volume transactional flows. We build custom API integration solutions where the data contract, error handling, and performance envelope are designed specifically for your systems rather than adapted from a generic template. Also see our enterprise application integration services for integration platform as a service-adjacent engagements.
Is This Right For You?
Is this the right engagement for you?
Our API integration services are optimised for a specific type of project. Check whether yours fits before booking a call.
Good fit for
- You have two or more systems that need to share data reliably in real time or near-real time
- Your team is losing hours per week to manual data entry or export-import workflows
- You want a fixed scope and a go-live date you can commit to internally
- Your systems include ERP, customer relationship management, ecommerce, fulfilment, or business intelligence platforms
- You need custom logic (approval flows, pricing rules, conditional routing) that an integration platform as a service cannot handle
Not a fit if
- You only need a simple trigger between two software-as-a-service tools with no custom logic
- You want a body-shopping arrangement with no defined deliverables or timeline
- Your systems are fully cloud-based with native connectors that already cover your use case
- You need a managed integration platform as a service license rather than custom endpoint development
