Make every tool
in your stack
speak the same language.

We design and build custom system integrations that connect ERPs, CRMs, e-commerce platforms, accounting suites, warehouses, and legacy databases into one coherent operational layer. REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven architectures, ETL and CDC pipelines, real-time bidirectional sync — engineered by senior integration architects, not configured by a wizard.

§ 01 / Positioning

Disconnected
tools tax
every operation.

Mid-market companies typically run 10 to 20 disconnected tools — an ERP that doesn't know about the e-commerce site, a CRM that doesn't see fulfilment, a warehouse system rekeying orders by hand. The tax shows up as duplicate data, late invoices, missed inventory, and three people whose job is really just copy-paste. We build the integration layer that absorbs that work — not as a brittle Zapier chain, but as a documented, monitored, vendor-neutral system you own.

§ 02 / Integration capabilities

Six integration patterns.
One coherent operations layer.

Discuss your integration map →
01 / Design

API design & gateways

REST, GraphQL and gRPC APIs designed for longevity — versioned, documented, rate-limited, and protected by an API gateway. The contract between your systems, written once, evolved carefully.

REST · GraphQL OpenAPI 3.1 Gateway & auth
02 / Move

ETL & data pipelines

Batch, incremental and change-data-capture (CDC) pipelines that move data between operational systems and the data warehouse — schema-aware, idempotent, and rebuildable from source on demand.

Airbyte · dbt CDC · Debezium Snowflake · BigQuery
03 / React

Event-driven architecture

Message brokers and event buses that decouple your systems: each tool publishes what it knows, each tool subscribes to what it needs. The foundation for real-time operations, observability, and graceful failure.

Kafka · NATS RabbitMQ · SQS EventBridge
04 / Orchestrate

iPaaS & middleware

When the right answer is a managed integration platform — we deploy and operate iPaaS tools properly: error queues, retries, observability, version control. Configured by engineers, not by a marketing department.

n8n · Make Workato Self-hosted
05 / Bridge

Legacy system bridging

SOAP, EDI, flat files, AS/400, on-prem SQL — the systems your business still depends on but vendors won't touch. We build the bridge that lets modern tools talk to them safely, without ripping out what works.

SOAP · EDI · X12 SFTP · AS/400 Anti-corruption layer
06 / Sync

Real-time bidirectional sync

Two systems, one source of truth — handled correctly. Conflict resolution, idempotency keys, replay protection, audit trails. The kind of sync that survives a network partition without leaving your data corrupted.

Webhooks · polling Conflict resolution Audit-grade
§ 03 / Engineering principles

Integrations that
outlast vendors,
outlast teams.

Most integration projects fail quietly — three years later, when the API changes and no one remembers how the system worked. We design for that day from the first call.
P · 01 always

Idempotent by default

Every operation can be replayed safely. Network failures, duplicate webhooks, and retries don't corrupt data — they're absorbed.

P · 02 observable

Monitored, not hoped

Dashboards, alerts, structured logs, lineage. When a flow breaks, you know within seconds — not when a customer phones in.

P · 03 documented

Written down, not in heads

Every flow, schema, and contract is in version control with the code. The person who replaces us in three years can read it and continue.

P · 04 portable

Vendor-neutral

Your integration layer doesn't depend on one provider. If a SaaS tool changes terms or shuts down, you replace the connector — not the platform.

RESULT —Most engagements ship the first production flow inside three weeks. Full integration coverage is typically reached between week eight and week sixteen.

§ 04 / How we integrate

A four-phase method, refined over a decade.

Every integration engagement runs the same arc. We map what exists before we touch it, design before we build, build before we automate, and operate until the system can run without us.

Phase 01 — 1–2 weeks

Map

We inventory every system, every flow, every workaround. The output is a written integration map — systems, data, ownership, frequency, current pain — that you keep regardless of whether we proceed.

Phase 02 — 1–3 weeks

Design

Integration architecture, data contracts, sequencing, fallback behaviour. Decisions made on paper before they get expensive in code — including the ones that need to age well.

Phase 03 — 4–12 weeks

Build

Senior hands only. Two-week cycles. First production flow inside three weeks. Every connector ships with tests, monitoring, runbooks, and documentation that survives staff change.

Phase 04 — ongoing

Operate

We monitor, evolve, and transfer ownership: connector upgrades, schema migrations, knowledge transfer to your team. Until the integration layer can grow without us — which is the point.

What we connect.
And how.

A non-exhaustive map of platforms, protocols, and patterns we work with day-to-day. If your system isn't listed, it almost certainly speaks one of these languages — and if not, we'll build the bridge.

§ 07 / Frequently asked

Questions we hear
before every engagement.

If you're scoping an integration project, these are the answers you actually need — written by the engineers who do the work.

What is system integration, and why does it matter?

+

System integration is the engineering practice of connecting independent software systems — ERPs, CRMs, e-commerce platforms, accounting suites, custom applications — so they exchange data and trigger actions automatically, in a way that's reliable, observable, and auditable. It matters because every duplicate spreadsheet, rekeyed order, and reconciliation meeting is a tax on growth. Properly integrated systems remove the rekeying, surface the right numbers in real time, and let the team focus on work software can't do.

How is custom integration different from using Zapier or Make?

+

Zapier, Make and n8n are excellent for simple, low-volume flows — and we deploy them when they're the right answer. They become a liability when business logic gets complex, volumes scale, or auditability matters: error handling is shallow, version control is informal, and the integration logic lives in someone's account. Custom integration means engineered, version-controlled, monitored code — typically a hybrid: managed platforms for the simple flows, custom services for the critical ones. We choose per flow, not as a religion.

How long does a typical integration project take?

+

Single-system integrations (one connector, well-defined scope) usually ship in three to six weeks. Multi-system operations layers — ERP, CRM, e-commerce, warehouse, accounting — typically take eight to sixteen weeks to reach full coverage, with the first production flow live in week three. The longest part is rarely the code; it's mapping how the business actually works versus how the org chart says it does.

Can you integrate legacy systems — SOAP, EDI, AS/400, on-premise databases?

+

Yes, and roughly a third of our work touches a legacy system the original vendor no longer actively supports. We build an anti-corruption layer between the legacy system and the modern stack: the legacy keeps doing what it does well, and the rest of the operation talks to it through a clean, documented interface. No risky big-bang migration — just a bridge that lets you replace the legacy later, on your timeline.

Who owns the code and the integration layer when the project ends?

+

You do. Every line of code, every connector, every runbook, every dashboard. The integration layer lives in your repositories, runs on your infrastructure (or one we deploy and hand over), and is documented well enough that another engineering team — yours or someone else's — can pick it up. We don't hold the keys, and we don't gate-keep what we built.

Do you work with companies outside Spain?

+

Yes. Giroteam is based in Málaga, Andalusia, but most engagements are remote across the EU, the UK and increasingly the US East Coast. We work in English, Spanish and German, on European business hours by default, with overlap into other time zones arranged per engagement.

§ 08 / In their words
“We'd had two failed integration attempts before Giroteam — both with bigger names. The difference wasn't the technology; it was that the senior who scoped the work was the same person handing over the code five months later. There was nothing lost in translation, because there was no one to translate to.”
