API-fication of an existing system
Is your software a fortress: the data is in there, but nothing comes out without a manual export? We wrap your existing system in a modern, documented REST API that opens it up to your other tools and those of your partners — without touching the core of the system.

The problem
Your business application works well, but it is closed: no API, manual CSV exports, integrations that run through macros. Every new requirement (mobile app, customer portal, partner connection, BI) becomes a painful project.
Our approach: the facade, not the demolition
- Mapping the entry points: database, files, existing components, proprietary protocols — we identify the safest path to your data.
- Modern API facade: an ASP.NET Core layer exposes clean REST APIs (JSON, OpenAPI/Swagger), without modifying the original system. Risk is minimal by design.
- Security: authentication via keys or OAuth2/OpenID Connect, fine-grained per-resource authorization, rate limiting, logging.
- Living documentation: interactive Swagger portal, code samples, integration guide — your partners become self-sufficient.
- Real-world pilot: we deliver the API with a first consumer (mini-app, script, dashboard) to prove its value immediately.
What it unlocks
- Mobile applications and tablets powered by your data
- Web portals for customers or partners
- Integrations with ERP, CRM, e-commerce, BI tools (Power BI...)
- Automations: scripts, overnight batches, webhooks
- A foundation for modernization: the API becomes the anchor point for gradually replacing the old system (Strangler Fig)
What you gain
- Risk-free openness: the existing system is not modified
- Speed: new projects build on the API instead of starting from scratch
- Control: you decide who accesses what, and you see it in the logs
- Longevity: the API remains stable even as the system behind it evolves
Who is it for?
Any company whose "API-less" software is blocking integration and innovation projects. Show us your system: we'll demonstrate, on a concrete case, what an API facade can set free.
