BRISBANE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Web programmers and business managers will be able to integrate online applications faster and easier than previously possible thanks to a new API product released by global job management company simPRO.
simPRO’s ‘RESTful API’ product was developed as a software interfacing tool which allows various systems to connect and communicate with a new sense of efficiency, strengthening the bridge between simPRO and other platforms which may be used in the workforce.
An Application Programming Interface, or API, is broadly defined as software that allows two applications to talk to each other, acting as a messenger to allow third party developers to retrieve and insert specified data into that application.
The simPRO API allows for seamless integration of data between it and other business software platforms.
simPRO Chief Technology Officer Jonathan Eastgate said the simPRO RESTful API would ultimately lead to better software integrations and an overall increase in convenience for businesses.
“simPRO’s new API is a technical step forward, but its functions are good for users because external applications can be created to move data between simPRO and different applications,” he said.
“With the API you can now create integrations that connect simPRO to mailing and accounting systems, ecommerce, business websites, smartphone and tablet apps and document management systems.
“Thanks to simPRO RESTful API, businesses are able to integrate simPRO and third party applications easier than ever before.
“That’s what we strive to do at simPRO – removing time and complexity from modern necessities like program integration and online product use. We want to empower our partners to build valuable businesses around the information flowing through simPRO.
“simPRO’s new API systems will assist in managing workflows and improving efficiencies for thousands of trade service businesses,” Mr Eastgate said.
simPRO’s RESTful API was designed to be up to date with industry standards and features a “Developer Centre” where users can receive support through a dedicated forum and access assistance resource like code examples and program walkthroughs.
The new API will be made available world-wide upon release and be functional through simPRO’s Service and Enterprise range, making it accessible for a diverse range of users throughout the trade service industry.
