HEPTAconnect – The API toolkit for developers

What is HEPTAconnect?

Within enterprise eCommerce projects, many systems from different manufacturers often have to be connected. Standard interfaces between two systems do not suffice for this. HEPTAconnect is a dynamic open source middleware. It consists of a core and any number of portals. Portals establish the connection to all systems that you want to connect. Portals are quickly and easily ready for use (e.g. MS Dynamics BC, Shopware) without having to adapt the software to be integrated. Thanks to the open source concept, HEPTAconnect reduces dependencies in your corporate landscape.

Goals of HEPTAconnect

Reduce developing time, lower update costs

Often times within e-commerce projects, the wheel is being reinvented. This is often because there are no ready-made interfaces or they can only be expanded with difficulty. The problem with these projects is not only the high single development effort, but also the recurring costs for maintaining the in-house development. It often leads to projects failing or becoming obsolete. But especially this can be very dangerous in times of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). HEPTAconnect provides developers with frequently needed components for interface development. This means that projects can be implemented much more quickly. At the same time, you do not have to worry about developing the basic system further yourself. For many use cases there are already ready-made portals (this is the name of the interfaces that are connected to HEPTAconnect), e.g. for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics CRM or for the open source ticket system Zammad.

The benefits of HEPTAconnect

Modular: HEPTAconnect can be expanded freely. Many interfaces already exist.
Updates: HEPTAconnect is maintained by us. Updates can be installed through the use of Composer.
Open Source and AGPL-3.0 allow for independent development and maximum transparency.
Shopware independent: HEPTAconnect can be used standalone without Shopware.
