Waarom lightspeed en Act-on?

A company that operates both Lightspeed and Act-on could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between them. The primary motivation for such a connection would be to reduce manual data entry, which can consume time and introduce errors. Without a connection, staff may need to enter the same information separately into each system, leading to the risk of discrepancies as records in one system drift out of sync with those in the other. This can result in inconsistent reporting, inaccurate customer insights, and decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. For example, if sales or customer engagement data is updated in one system but not the other, marketing campaigns or sales activities may be based on stale data, reducing their effectiveness. The types of data that could be exchanged between systems like Lightspeed and Act-on depend on their core functions. Lightspeed is widely known as a point-of-sale and retail management platform, while Act-on is recognized as a marketing automation solution. Data commonly exchanged between such systems could include customer contact details, purchase histories, and marketing campaign engagement metrics. This exchange could support more targeted marketing efforts and better customer relationship management by ensuring that both systems have up-to-date information. However, the specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Hoe System2System een koppeling bouwt

Connectoren

We koppelen met elk systeem via de interface die het aanbiedt — een API, een database, een bestandsuitwisseling of een webhook — inclusief authenticatie, rate limits en herhaalpogingen.

Mapping

Velden sluiten zelden één op één aan. We mappen en transformeren de gegevens zodat beide systemen ze ontvangen in de vorm die ze verwachten.

Workflow

We bepalen wat een uitwisseling in gang zet, welke kant de gegevens op gaan en welk systeem voorrang heeft als de twee van elkaar afwijken.

Monitoring

Elke uitwisseling wordt gelogd. Fouten worden gemeld en kunnen opnieuw worden aangeboden, zodat er niets ongemerkt verdwijnt.

Welke gegevens zijn daadwerkelijk uit te wisselen?

Dat hangt af van wat lightspeed en Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We kijken graag naar jouw specifieke situatie en vertellen je wat haalbaar is — ook als het antwoord is dat het niet kan.
