Feisst Group's Custom Integration Engine

Dynamo6 built a custom integration engine for Feisst Group, an established and growing trade services company. The solution connects their siloed finance (Costcon) and job management (SimPRO) systems, eliminating days of manual data entry and creating a scalable foundation for future growth.

Feisst Group is a Waikato success story. Growing rapidly from a single electrical company, the group now comprises many trade services businesses across the North Island. To manage their complex operations, they invested in best-in-class software for finance (Costcon) and job management (SimPRO).

However, these systems were disconnected. This created data silos that forced the Feisst Group team to spend one to two days every week on manual data entry, transferring information on job statuses, billing, and timesheets between the platforms. This process was not only time-consuming but also carried a high risk of costly processing errors.

Our approach

  • 01

    Discovery & Requirements

    Dynamo6 stepped in to bridge the gap. We began with a discovery phase to ensure all business information and processes were factored in, confirming that a simple off-the-shelf connector could not meet their unique needs. This deep dive allowed us to understand the need for seamless, bi-directional data flow between Costcon and SimPRO.

    Designing the Integration Engine

    Our solution involved creating a custom integration engine. We designed an export/import job tracking table that acts as a central hub, ensuring that Costcon and SimPRO stay in sync. This custom architecture was specifically designed to handle the unique business logic and modifications required by Feisst Group.

    Building a Secure, Custom Solution

    Unlike off-the-shelf products, the custom integration engine was built to address Feisst Group's specific technical needs. The engine connects systems that do not have APIs and includes continuous monitoring through a daily import/export notification email. For enhanced security, the solution was built within Feisst Group’s own AWS environment, giving them complete control and data privacy.

The results

The custom-built solution has empowered Feisst Group to streamline its operations and scale with confidence. The new integration engine delivers several key benefits:

  • Eliminates manual data processing, saving the team between 1 and 2 days of administrative work every week.

  • Reduces the risk of costly errors by automating the flow of information between critical systems.

  • Provides a truly custom solution that handles their unique business logic where off-the-shelf products could not.

  • Creates a scalable foundation, allowing for the integration of additional systems as Feisst Group continues to grow.
