Integration systems for staff retyping data

Raze Drops builds data integration systems for owners whose staff retype the same record between tools, so an order, a lead or an invoice is entered once and arrives in every system that needs it. The copying job disappears and the errors in it disappear with it.

  3. What does an integration build cost and how long does it take?

There is a person in most businesses whose real job title is copy and paste. They take what arrived in one system and type it into two others, all day, and everyone has stopped noticing that this is what the company pays them for. This page describes the integration we build to end that, and what it costs.

What does a business lose to retyping?

Salaried hours, first of all, spent on work that produces nothing new and cannot be sold to anybody.

Then accuracy. Every retype is a chance for a wrong figure, and the correction costs more than the entry did: a credit note, an apology, an afternoon reconciling two systems that disagree. Nobody trusts either report afterwards.

What does the data integration system actually do?

It takes the record where it first appears, maps it to what each downstream system expects, and writes it there with the differences in format, code and units handled automatically.

Anything genuinely ambiguous stops and asks a person instead of guessing, and every transfer is logged so a disagreement between two systems can be traced rather than argued about. It is straightforward integration work, and where the incoming data is messy or unstructured, an AI software layer reads it first.

What does an integration build cost and how long does it take?

It is priced per project, from $300 to $9,000 depending on how many systems are involved and how awkward their interfaces are, with a monthly maintenance retainer to keep it working as those tools change.

You see the proposal and the fixed price before any deal is signed. Owners often read system revamps for software staff hate and automated reporting systems for owners alongside this one.
