Integrations + connectivity services
Headless CMS platforms, e-commerce and POS integrations, CRM connections and API orchestration. Reliable data flow across every system your business depends on.
Integrations and Platforms
What we do
Connect your platforms, unify your data, eliminate manual handoffs
Little Tiger builds integrations that connect the systems your business actually runs on. Headless CMS platforms, e-commerce engines, POS systems, CRMs, payment processors and custom APIs. We design data flows that are reliable, real-time and maintainable so your teams work from one source of truth instead of copy-pasting between tabs.
Our integration work covers headless CMS architecture (Storyblok, Sanity, AgilityCMS), e-commerce and POS connectivity (Cova, Shopify, Moneris), CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce), payment processing (Stripe, Square) and workflow automation (n8n, SendGrid), with custom API middleware deployed on AWS and Google Cloud. Every integration ships with monitoring, error handling and recovery built in.
Why invest in integrations
Data silos kill productivity
When systems don't talk to each other, teams waste hours on manual data entry, reconciliation and workarounds. Unified data flow eliminates the busywork and cuts errors.
Manual processes don't scale
What works with ten orders a day breaks at a thousand. Automated integrations handle volume gracefully, freeing your team to focus on decisions that require human judgment.
Platform lock-in is expensive
Tightly coupled systems make switching vendors painful and expensive. API-first integration architecture gives you the flexibility to swap, upgrade or extend any part of your stack.
Real-time data drives better decisions
Batch syncs and daily exports leave you working with stale information. Real-time integrations give you current inventory, up-to-date analytics and accurate customer data, right when you need it.
Your customer doesn't see your systems
They don't care which system handles their order, their account or their support ticket. Unified integrations make the whole thing feel like one experience, because to them it should be.
Integration debt compounds fast
Quick-fix integrations built with fragile scripts and hardcoded credentials become liabilities. Properly built integrations with monitoring, retries and error handling save you from 3am pages.

API Design + Orchestration
Clean middleware that simplifies messy system setups
When multiple systems need to talk to each other, we build API middleware and orchestration layers (using tools like n8n for workflow automation, deployed on AWS and Google Cloud) that normalise data formats, handle authentication across services, manage rate limits and give your application one clean interface to consume.
No more spaghetti integrations. One layer of well-documented middleware replaces dozens of fragile point-to-point connections.
Headless CMS Integration
Publish independently, with full editorial control
We build headless CMS platforms on Storyblok, Sanity and AgilityCMS that give editorial teams full publishing independence without sacrificing frontend performance or design fidelity. Structured content models, visual editors, draft previews and webhook-driven cache invalidation.
Every integration is built so your content team publishes on their own schedule. No developer tickets. No deployment queues. No bottlenecks.
E-commerce + POS Systems
Unified commerce across online and in-store
We build e-commerce integrations that connect your online storefront with point-of-sale systems like Cova and Shopify POS, plus payment processors like Stripe, Square and Moneris. Real-time inventory sync, order routing, payment processing and fulfilment workflows, all automated and monitored.
Whether you're running a single location or multiple storefronts, your inventory, pricing and customer data stay consistent across every channel.
CRM + Business Systems
Connect customer data across every system
We integrate CRM platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce, email marketing tools like SendGrid, support systems and business applications into a unified data flow. Customer interactions, purchase history and support tickets become accessible where your team actually works.
Bi-directional sync, conflict resolution and data transformation keep information consistent and actionable across every system.
Integrations that recover gracefully when things go wrong
Third-party APIs go down. Webhooks fail. Network connections drop. Every integration we build includes retry logic, dead letter queues, circuit breakers and alerting so transient failures resolve on their own and persistent issues surface immediately.
Integrations that run reliably in production, not just in demo environments.

How we work
Our approach to integrations
System audit + mapping
We document every system you use: data models, API capabilities, authentication methods, rate limits and known limitations. This map guides every architectural decision.
Data flow design
We design the integration architecture: which systems own which data, sync direction and frequency, transformation rules and error handling strategies. All documented and reviewed before we write a line of code.
Incremental integration
We connect systems one at a time, validating data integrity at each step. No big-bang cutovers. Each integration is tested independently before being connected to the next.
Monitoring + alerting
Every integration ships with health checks, sync validation, error alerting and dashboards. You know when something fails before your customers do.
Documentation + handover
We deliver architecture diagrams, API documentation, runbooks for common failure scenarios and training for your team. You can maintain and extend integrations on your own.
Some technologies we work with
Frequently asked questions
We primarily work with Storyblok, AgilityCMS and Sanity for headless CMS. We also have experience with Contentful, Strapi and WordPress in headless mode. We recommend the platform that fits your editorial workflow and technical requirements best.
Yes. We've built production integrations with Cova, Shopify POS, Square and Moneris. If your POS has an API, we can integrate it. We start by auditing the API's capabilities and limitations, then design the data flow around what's actually possible.
We use real-time webhooks and event-driven architecture where immediacy matters (inventory, orders, payments) and scheduled batch sync where it doesn't (reporting, analytics, non-critical updates). The choice comes down to your business requirements, not technical convenience.
Every integration includes retry logic with exponential backoff, dead letter queues for failed events, circuit breakers to prevent cascade failures and alerting so your team knows immediately. Transient failures resolve on their own. Persistent issues surface fast.
Sometimes. For systems with file exports (CSV, XML), we build automated import pipelines. For systems with database access, we can build read-only integrations. For truly closed systems, we'll evaluate scraping or RPA approaches, but we'll be honest about the trade-offs.
A single platform integration typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. Multi-system integration projects with complex data flows take 8 to 16 weeks. We deliver incrementally, so your first integration is live and validated before we start the next.
Yes. Third-party APIs change, new requirements come up and monitoring needs attention. We offer retainer-based support covering API version upgrades, new integration builds, performance tuning and incident response.
