API Gateway for intelligent business process automation

We developed and implemented a universal platform for automating the exchange of mission-critical data. The solution not only replaces outdated file transfer methods, but also ensures seamless integration with any legacy systems, directly storing data in mission-critical systems and proactively notifying about process status.

API gateway architecture for legacy system integration

What client problems do we solve?

Manual file exchange

Employees spent hours exporting and transferring files, which led to errors, delays and high labor costs.

Security risk

Transferring confidential data through unsecured channels created direct threat of trade secret leakage.

Unreliability and lack of guarantees

During network failures, data was lost or delivered partially, leading to system desynchronization.

Legacy system integration problem

Many clients use time-tested but outdated systems (old CRM versions, custom ERP) that don't have modern APIs.

Operating system "zoo"

Branches and servers often run on different operating systems (Windows Server, Linux). Managing several incompatible scripts and tools complicated and increased maintenance costs.

Gap between data delivery and utilization

After successful file transfer, employees had to manually import its content to databases, creating another failure point.

Lack of current information

Key employees didn't know about operation status and learned about failures after the fact.

Our solution: Business integration platform

We created a centralized API gateway that became a single point for all automated processes.

Secure file exchange and folder synchronization

At the foundation lies a reliable data transmission mechanism with end-to-end encryption (age-encryption) and three-phase synchronization that guarantees data integrity even during connection interruptions.

Universality and platform independence

Interaction with the gateway occurs through standard REST API. This means that any system capable of making HTTP requests (e.g. through curl or built-in tools) can be integrated.

Multi-platform compatibility

Our solution is completely independent of the operating system. We developed a ready-made autonomous client in Go that runs as a background service on both Windows and Linux.

Intelligent processing and notification

The API gateway not only receives files, but also processes, validates and stores data in the client's mission-critical databases.

Proactive notification system

The system accepts webhooks from connected nodes and distributes operation status notifications to corporate email and messengers (Slack, Telegram).

Value for your business

Modernization without replacement

You get all the benefits of modern automation without spending budget on replacing time-tested legacy systems and training personnel.

Flexibility and unification

Our solution works in heterogeneous IT infrastructure, connecting Windows and Linux nodes into one reliable system. One tool for everyone.

Reduction of operational costs

Full automation of routine processes, including data import, freed up employee time and eliminated costly errors.

Enhanced security

Military-grade data protection reduced the risk of confidential information leakage to zero.

Acceleration of business cycles

Data becomes available in corporate systems immediately after creation, directly impacting the speed of invoice generation and decision-making.

Proactive monitoring

Responsible employees are immediately informed about the status of mission-critical operations, allowing them to react instantly to any failures.
