"Our integration developer had first-hand experience with the convenience and stability of Frends iPaaS. In addition, we valued the flexible pricing and the high popularity of Frends. Finding resources would be easy, as many developers know and appreciate the low-code approach."
Moreover, using the capabilities of Frends iPaaS, Profiz has created a new service that modernizes the processing of master data. With Airtable, a low-code spreadsheet-database hybrid solution, and the Frends integration platform, Profiz can provide customers with a more efficient way of importing and exporting master data. Instead of outdated file-based transfer, master data moves around via reliable REST APIs, which offer accurate feedback on processes.
"In the ERP world, utilizing REST APIs is quite rare and advanced as far as we know. Our SAP Business One ERP Solution, which we are selling and implementing, has a REST API. However, we need a modern integration platform to merge the data between various systems, some of which might support merely a file-based transfer. With the help of Frends iPaaS, we can make data flow between different systems, even if they were not designed for integration needs," says Lotta Airas, CEO of Profiz.
Airas believes there is seldom a need to start building products and services from scratch. Instead, choosing the right capabilities and making a value-adding mix of best-of-breech off-the-shelf software products ensures companies can keep up with the fast pace of digitalization.
"The world is full of amazing products that can be glued together with Frends. Adopting microservice thinking and capabilities allows companies to innovate and experience fast and make temporary fixes to be replaced later."
Airas finds the cooperation between Profiz and Frends easy and pleasant.
"The people are optimistic, happy, and human. In addition, we have received support whenever needed. The cooperation allows us significant business opportunities, as in any scenario, we need Frends to interpret and modify data."
