The meteoric rise of SaaS tools led to the immediate need for SaaS integrations. Take a look at the number applications you have open on your desktop and this will become rather obvious. Anyone working from home right now is likely using some combination of such software whether it be Slack, Airtable, Salesforce, Box, Dropbox—you name it.
In order to prevent information silos when working across multiple platforms, it’s vital to ensure each program talks to one other. Without this interchange and sharing of information, you will without a doubt lose valuable data, become confused with double entries and misplace orders and client information that you had neatly logged in one place but never transferred over to where it should actually belong.
It can be frustrating.
One of the most popular and widely used automation platforms on the market is Zapier.
Zapier succeeds due to its plug-and-play simplicity. It doesn’t take a developer or technical genius to set up a connection using Zapier.
Their platform has also continued to expand its versatility and now integrates with over 3000 different SaaS products.
There is room for innovation, however, when it comes to custom scenarios and connections that aren’t covered by the horizontal structure that Zapier employs.
Depending on your workflow, you may only have a small number of software applications running. On the other hand, you could have an abundance. Some companies have as many as 80 separate SaaS tools and most have at least 10.
For anyone in the field of e-commerce, the list of required integrations also extends to external sites such as other online companies, distributors, warehouses, etc. Without proper integrations that adequately link each segment of the production line, the results can quickly become disastrous.
While Zapier works perfectly fine for simple automation schemes, some of the more complex or unique connections require further development.
