PLATFORMS & APIs

Connect your systems. Extend your product.

Bring applications, data, and partners together through practical APIs and integration layers. Build new capabilities around the systems you already use.

Technology that connects technology.

KNAYK LABS designs and builds APIs, integration layers, and platforms that connect applications, data, partners, and business workflows around existing systems.

Who it helps
Businesses connecting internal applications, customer products, or partner systems.
What we deliver
Agreed interfaces, data mappings, access controls, integration tests, documentation, and operating guidance.
Where to start
Map one important connection, including source and destination systems, data ownership, permissions, and failure handling.

1 of 4: APIs developers can work with.

Connections with a purpose.

One customer journey

Connect sign-up, billing, account access, and support so customers can move through your product with fewer manual handoffs.

Shared operational data

Synchronize orders, inventory, or customer records across systems, with clear rules for conflicts and failed updates.

A partner-ready platform

Let partners use selected capabilities through controlled access, documented interfaces, and an agreed onboarding process.

Discuss this workflow

One order. Connected systems.

An example integration flow: move an approved order from your application to inventory and fulfillment, with an explicit route for failures.

EXAMPLE ORDER
  1. 01 / ORDER RECEIVED

    Storefront

    A customer submits an order. The application sends an authenticated request with the required details.

  2. 02 / VALIDATE & COORDINATE

    API layer

    Validate the request, map its fields, and identify duplicates before coordinating downstream updates.

  3. 03 / CHECK & UPDATE

    Inventory

    Check availability and update the inventory system according to the agreed reservation and consistency rules.

  4. 04 / CREATE TASK & CONFIRM

    Fulfillment

    Create the fulfillment task, record its outcome, and return status to the requesting application.

Choose a system to inspect it, or trace an example order.

What if an update fails?
EXCEPTION PATH

Failed update → Retry or review

Record the exception. Retry only where appropriate, route unresolved work to a person, and reconcile incomplete or conflicting updates.

Designed for production.

Make the connection usable, controlled, and maintainable. Requirements and implementation are agreed for your environment.

Clear contracts

Give consumers a clear interface and a predictable way to handle change.

  • Documented interfaces
  • Versioning & migration
How it works

Agree data schemas, validation, error responses, examples, and compatibility policies. Document onboarding and migration steps when interfaces change.

Controlled access

Limit access to the capabilities and information each integration needs.

  • Authentication & permissions
  • Data handling boundaries
How it works

Define authentication, authorization, credential handling, and encryption requirements. Include rate limits and sensitive-data handling where relevant. Specialist audits or compliance requirements need explicit scope.

Operational visibility

Make failures discoverable and recovery practical for the operating team.

  • Failure & recovery paths
  • Monitoring & ownership
How it works

Agree logs, metrics, correlation identifiers, retry behavior, duplicate handling, and escalation. Define performance targets and support ownership rather than assuming blanket availability guarantees.

From system map to rollout.

Clarify dependencies early and validate the connection before it becomes part of daily operations.

  1. 01

    Map

    Identify systems, owners, data flows, access constraints, and the business outcome.

    System map and integration constraints
  2. 02

    Design

    Agree interface contracts, authentication, data mappings, and failure handling.

    Interface contracts and failure strategy
  3. 03

    Validate

    Test representative scenarios, including duplicate events and unavailable systems.

    Test evidence and readiness findings
  4. 04

    Roll out

    Plan migration, monitoring, documentation, and operational handover.

    Rollout and operating plan

Start with the connection that matters.

Bring the systems, the workflow, and the outcome you need. A focused first step can clarify the technical and operational constraints.

INTEGRATION ASSESSMENT

Map the opportunity.

Understand the systems and constraints before committing to a build.

  • System & dependency map
  • Access & data requirements
  • Recommended approach & risks
What’s involved

Review systems, owners, interface documentation, vendor limitations, and the business workflow. Identify dependencies and unresolved questions so the next step has a clear technical and operational basis.

Discuss an assessment
FOCUSED PILOT

Validate one workflow.

Test one useful connection before planning a wider rollout.

  • Bounded integration prototype
  • Data & failure-path checks
  • Production-readiness findings
What’s involved

Use representative cases and a limited set of systems to validate the proposed exchange. Test data mapping, duplicate handling, and selected failure paths, then document limitations and what production deployment would require.

Scope a pilot

Scope, deliverables, access requirements, fees, and timing are agreed before work begins.

Before we connect.

Is there a public API I can sign up for?

This page describes our platform and integration services. Access to a specific KNAYK product API depends on that product’s availability and onboarding terms. Contact us to discuss the capability you need.

Can you integrate with our existing software?

We assess the available APIs, authentication methods, documentation, and vendor constraints first. Some integrations may need vendor approval, additional licensing, or an alternative exchange mechanism.

How are credentials and data protected?

Access controls, credential storage, encryption requirements, and data handling are defined during design. Regulatory requirements and specialized security reviews need to be included in the agreed scope.

What happens when a connection fails?

We plan behavior around the workflow: retries, duplicate handling, alerts, and recovery procedures where appropriate. Availability targets and support responsibilities are agreed rather than assumed.

How do you handle legacy systems without modern APIs?

We assess supported export, import, file exchange, and integration options before proposing an approach. Feasibility depends on vendor constraints and access; a direct real-time connection is not always available or appropriate.

How are timing and costs estimated?

We review the systems involved, interface quality, data mapping, test environments, and rollout constraints. Discovery or a focused pilot may be needed before a reliable implementation estimate can be agreed.

Will we receive documentation and source code?

Documentation, examples, source-code access, licensing, and handover are specified in the engagement agreement. Terms may differ for custom integrations and licensed product capabilities.

What needs to connect?

Tell us which systems you use, what data needs to move, and the workflow you want to improve.
