Custom Connectors

Join up your operational systems

Connectors are single or two-way connections that join business applications together to share data. This is a type of systems integration but designed more as an app-style connector rather than a fully customised integration.

We create many ‘connectors’, enabling our customers to join up information easily between CRM and their other operational software systems.

Data Connectors

We use our extensive portfolio of connector frameworks, customisations and applications to build connectors, which means we can deliver integrations faster for less cost – for our customers’ benefit.

For example, our Maximizer Quotes app can be used out of the box or be quickly adapted where out customers need additional functionality.

Find out more about What is a Custom Connector and what are the Benefits?

Typical Connectors include:

  • Data Feed Connectors: Taking information from databases and passing this into CRM. Databases include an Accounts package, ERP system, eCommerce website, Contracts & Inventory Management system, and many industry specific software applications. The information is displayed in CRM (using iFrames technologies) for users to consume both visually. The information is also used throughout the CRM system within modules such as dashboards, reports and alert notifications.
  • Email & Inbound Marketing Connectors: Creating a functional integration join between CRM and popular packages such as Mailchimp, dotdigital, Campaign Monitor etc., and enabling synchronisation of data records between systems. Many online email marketing solutions provide a suite of integration tools (APIs) and we can easily create a connector between these systems and CRM.
  • Quotation Module Connectors: A customised module enabling users to create and send quotes from within CRM with quote information updated to the CRM record and sales pipeline. Product codes and stock information from the ‘back-office’ system can be used dynamically when creating quotes. When a quote is successfully converted our Connector can push the ‘order’ into the back-office system removing duplication in data entry, saving time whilst improving data accuracy.
  • Portal Connectors: Simple data connectors that enable passing of information between CRM and online Customer/Supplier Portals, and vice-versa. Information is synchronised near real-time helping our customers to manage and respond to their customers in a quick, professional and efficient way.
"Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship."
