Find every integration risk before your build starts
An integration assessment audit maps every system, data flow, and risk in your architecture. You get a scoped findings report, a prioritized remediation plan, and a buildable spec. Not a slide deck with vague recommendations.
The cost of skipping the audit
of integration projects that skip a formal audit go over budget or scope
longer average remediation time when integration risks are found mid-build instead of pre-build
from kickoff to a full written findings report with buildable specifications
Hero · CTO reviewing integration audit document
Integration failures are not technical surprises. They are planning failures.
Undiscovered dependencies
Systems that "should" be independent share data objects nobody documented. The build reveals this on week 6.
Scope assumptions that don't survive contact with the API
The 3PL has a webhook. That webhook fires once per batch, not per order. Nobody knew. The estimate was wrong from day one.
No error handling strategy
What happens when an order times out? When inventory is negative? When a record is duplicated? Most builds have no answer until production breaks.
"Every integration rescue we have done had one thing in common: nobody mapped the systems before the build started."

Audit tiers
A System Inventory
We have a complete list of every system that needs to connect (CRM, ERP, WMS, storefront, and so on)
Each system has a documented API or data exchange mechanism we have access to
We know which systems are the "source of truth" for each data type (inventory, customers, orders)
We have identified all legacy or undocumented integrations that currently exist
B Data Flows
We have mapped which data objects move between systems and in which direction
We know the expected volume and frequency of each data flow (real-time, batch, event-driven)
Field-level mapping has been discussed for each integration (what maps to what across systems)
Data format and schema differences between systems have been identified (date formats, currencies, SKU structures)
C Resilience and Governance
We have a defined error handling strategy for when an integration call fails or returns unexpected data
Authentication and authorization requirements are understood for each API connection
There is a clear owner within our team for each integration once it is live
We have defined success criteria for what a working integration looks like in production
Four written deliverables from every integration assessment audit. No slide decks.
Each deliverable is scoped before work starts. You know what you get before you pay.
System Map
Architecture and system inventory report
A written inventory of every system in scope, with API capabilities, authentication requirements, rate limits, and known constraints documented per platform. The document your build team uses as their starting reference.
Risk Matrix
Risk and dependency matrix
Every identified risk scored by likelihood and impact, mapped to the specific integration it affects. Each risk entry includes a recommended mitigation approach so your team can prioritise before a single line of code is written.
Data Map
Field-level data flow and mapping document
A field-by-field mapping of what data moves between which systems, in which direction, and with what transformation logic. Every ambiguity in the mapping is flagged with a resolution recommendation. This document becomes the specification for your build team.
Build Spec
Buildable integration specification
A scoped, actionable specification document structured for immediate handoff to a development team. Includes recommended architecture approach, technology selection rationale, phasing recommendations, and a rough effort estimate per integration. This is the document that eliminates the "how long will this take?" question.

How a 3-platform distributor got a unified integration plan in 5 days
JWE Inc
Multi-channel distributionMulti-channel distributor operating three disconnected platforms: a Shopify storefront, a Uniform Market channel, and a 3PL warehouse system. No integration map. No documented data flows. No defined source of truth.
The team reconciled inventory, orders, and customer data by hand every day. Nobody knew which system held accurate data at any given moment. Every vendor's build estimate came back different because scope was undefined.
3 undocumented Shopify webhooks conflicting with the proposed ERP sync approach
SKU format mismatch between the 3PL and Uniform Market requiring a transformation layer
No retry or idempotency mechanism in the 3PL's API, requiring custom queue logic
Clear recommendation: Dynamics 365 as ERP hub with bidirectional Shopify and 3PL connectors
Zero manual reconciliation. All three platforms run through one integration layer.
The audit became the build spec. The development team had clear scope before Sprint 1. No mid-project surprises. No scope changes after kickoff.
Platforms: Dynamics 365 BC + Shopify + 3PL + Uniform Market
Audit tier: Standard (5-day delivery)
Integration assessment audit pricing: published, not hidden
Other providers say "contact for pricing." We list ranges, scope drivers, and tier details on this page. No call required.
Rapid Audit
Delivered in 2 business days
Best for: Straightforward builds where APIs are documented and modern
Standard Audit
Delivered in 5 business days
Best for: Multi-system builds mixing modern and legacy platforms
Deep Audit
Delivered in 10 business days
Best for: Enterprise environments, rescue projects, or platform migrations
What increases scope (and cost)
We audit to challenge the build, not to justify it
Publishable deliverables, not internal notes
Every audit ships four structured documents ready to hand to any development team, regardless of who builds it. You own the findings.
We flag risk even when it delays the project
If the audit reveals the build is not ready to start, we say so. We would rather lose a project than deliver a build that fails in production six months later.
Price published, scope defined before you commit
Ranges are listed on this page. You see the tier, the deliverables, and the price before a single conversation happens. No "contact us to learn more."
Conducted by build-ready practitioners
Every audit is run by the same team that builds the integrations. Not a pre-sales analyst writing a scoping document. The person who audits is the person who builds.
5-day delivery, not a 3-week workshop
Most consulting audits run 2 to 6 weeks. Ours deliver written findings in 2 to 10 business days depending on scope. Speed is a design choice, not a coincidence.
No lock-in to our build services
The audit deliverables are vendor-neutral. You can take the findings to us, to another provider, or to your internal team. We include this as a feature, not an oversight.
Questions to answer before you book
Yes. The deliverables are structured to be vendor-neutral. The system inventory, risk matrix, data mapping document, and buildable specification are written for any competent development team to use as a starting point. You are not locked into working with us for the build.
You still receive the full findings report. If the audit reveals blockers, those blockers are documented in the risk matrix with recommended resolutions. The audit fee is not refunded in this scenario, but you gain exactly what you needed: a clear picture of why the project was not ready and what to address first. That is worth more than a build that fails in month three.
Typically 4 to 6 hours across the audit window. A 90-minute kickoff where you walk us through your systems, async responses to written questions about specific APIs or data objects, and one review session when findings are delivered. You do not need to prepare documentation in advance. We work from what you have.
Yes. If you proceed with the build through Redefine within 60 days of the audit delivery, the audit fee is credited toward the build invoice. The audit is not a "free scoping call" but a paid standalone deliverable that happens to reduce the cost of the subsequent build when you proceed with us.
Existing documentation reduces audit time and may allow a lower tier. Send us what you have during the brief. If your current system inventory, API documentation, or data flow notes are sufficient to skip a discovery phase, we will tell you before you pay for a tier that is too deep for your situation.
Describe your build. We will match the right audit tier.
Submit your brief. We confirm the right audit tier within 48 hours. No commitment. No pitch.
