Case Study
Bridging Systems: Enhancing Interoperability Between Innserve and Heineken with API Integration
Innserve sought to unify its internal operations with Heineken’s Salesforce platform, without the upheaval of retraining staff or developing entirely new systems. Ayup Creative stepped in, crafting a seamless API integration. The result? Effortless data exchange, minimised costs, and a future-ready solution for streamlined collaboration.
Project Origins
Innserve, a leading provider of drink dispense equipment, sought to streamline its operations and enhance collaboration with Heineken, one of its key stakeholders. Heineken, utilising Salesforce extensively for its internal operations and sales processes, faced a challenge in integrating with Innserve’s proprietary system.
The reluctance to adopt a new system due to high retraining costs prompted the need for a solution that could seamlessly connect both platforms without disrupting existing workflows. Ayup Creative, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, undertook the challenge of developing a robust API integration to bridge the gap between Innserve’s internal systems and Heineken’s Salesforce instance.
Objectives and Methodology
The primary objective of the project was to develop a scalable API solution that would facilitate communication between Innserve’s proprietary system and Heineken’s Salesforce instance. The goal was to automate the exchange of data, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in information flow.
Ayup Creative collaborated closely with Innserve’s internal team and stakeholders from Heineken to understand the intricacies of both systems and the specific requirements for the integration.
