Integration Decision Guide: Choosing the Right Path for Commerce
What’s Inside (23 Pages)
✔ Nine Integration Paths, Organized by Who’s Connecting: Buyer-facing, internal, and supplier connections, each with its own data ownership, sync model, identity model, and cost of skipping it.
✔ A Decision Framework, Not a Scorecard: Rules for choosing the right path for your environment, “reach for it when” and “not the fit when,” instead of a vendor comparison matrix.
✔ What Happens When a Connected System Is Down: Whether each path errors out when a system goes down, or quietly serves old data, and how to choose which, on purpose.
✔ Proof at Scale: HEINEKEN’s 250+ integrations across 25 operating companies, InstallatieBalie’s four storefronts unified in an 8-week MVP, and OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing for 14,000+ public agencies.
✔ An Integration Readiness Self-Assessment: A worksheet to run before your implementation kickoff.
