Overview

Zwapgrid's API.1 is a unified API designed to simplify and standardize access to customer data from various accounting systems. It acts as a single connection point, eliminating the need for businesses to build and maintain complex, individual integrations with multiple accounting platforms.

Key Purpose and Benefits

The primary goal of API.1 is to enable businesses to effortlessly access real-time accounting data from their customers, streamlining financial processes and enhancing data-driven insights. Key benefits include:

• Unified Data Access: Connects to a multitude of accounting systems (e.g., Microsoft Business Central) and provides standardized data through one unified schema, eliminating inconsistencies.

• Simplified Integrations: Removes the complexity of intricate integrations, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations rather than data mapping, system knowledge, or regulatory compliance.

• Easy Customer Onboarding: Features a simple, customizable onboarding flow that allows customers to securely connect and authorize data sharing with just a few clicks.

• Scalability and Reliability: Engineered for performance and reliability, handling growing data demands with enterprise-grade uptime and robust security.

• Accelerated Market Expansion: Facilitates expansion into new markets by continuously adding new systems and file formats to the platform.

• Automation of Key Processes: Ideal for financial institutions (streamlining credit assessments, factoring) and payment solution providers (automating accounting of payouts).

How it Works

API.1 operates on a straightforward principle:

1. Invite Customer: The client (your business) invites their customer to securely connect and share their accounting data.

2. Customer Connects: The customer goes through a guided onboarding flow, choosing their accounting system and granting consent for data sharing by signing into their system.

3. Access Data: Once consent is established and the customer's system is connected, the client can access real-time accounting data through API.1.
