The four questions this page answers

  1. 1

    What you buy

    A one-off remote build connecting a system you run to an external service you depend on — a supplier, a courier or logistics provider, a data source, a SaaS tool — engineered to keep working when the other side is slow or down. It is only deliverable if that service’s API exposes what the job needs, which is why we run a feasibility review before development starts.

What is this, in plain English?

A one-off remote build connecting a system you run to an external service you depend on — a supplier, a courier or logistics provider, a data source, a SaaS tool — engineered to keep working when the other side is slow or down. It is only deliverable if that service’s API exposes what the job needs, which is why we run a feasibility review before development starts.

The naive version of an integration works on a good day. This one assumes the external service will be unavailable at some point, will change its response format without warning, and will occasionally return something surprising. Retries, timeouts, queuing and alerting are part of the build rather than afterthoughts.

The problem it solves

Two systems that should talk to each other are connected by a person exporting a spreadsheet, or by an integration that silently stops working.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Authenticated connection using the provider’s supported method
  • Retry with backoff on transient failures
  • Queuing so nothing is lost while the other side is down
  • Field mapping documented and configurable
  • Failure alerting rather than silent breakage
  • A request and response log for diagnosis

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Feasibility review

    We read the provider’s documentation and test their API against what you need, before quoting a fixed scope or writing any integration code.

  2. 2

    Map the fields

    A written mapping between the two systems, agreed with you.

  3. 3

    Build with failure in mind

    Retries, timeouts, queuing and idempotency from the start.

  4. 4

    Test the bad days

    We test against outages and malformed responses, not just the happy path.

  5. 5

    Monitor and alert

    You are told when it breaks, rather than finding out from a customer.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

REMOTE SERVICEHow this is delivered
  1. 1We confirm requirementsWe read what you sent with the order, come back in writing with anything missing, and agree the scope before any chargeable work starts.
  2. 2We build and configure remotelySetup, configuration and testing are done by our team over a remote connection — on your systems or on ours, whichever the package specifies.
  3. 3We hand it overYou receive the working setup, the credentials, the documentation and a walkthrough. Everything built for you is yours at handover.

Carried out remotely by our team. Nothing is posted and no one visits. Typical turnaround: 2–4 weeks.

Expected delivery time
2–4 weeks

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • An active account with the external service, in your own name, plus API credentials and documentation it issues you
  • A test or sandbox account where the provider offers one
  • Access to your own system’s codebase or API
  • Acceptance that the integration depends on what that third party exposes and permits — we hold no partnership or reseller status with any provider and cannot obtain access on your behalf

Who this is for

  • Businesses manually moving data between systems
  • Anyone whose existing integration fails quietly
  • Teams adopting a SaaS tool that must connect to what they already run
  • Businesses depending on an external data source

Business needs this addresses: Automate work, Integrate systems

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Subscription fees for the external service
  • Changes required inside a third-party system we do not control
  • Work the provider’s API cannot support. The feasibility review happens before development starts; if it finds a blocker we rescope or cancel under the refund policy rather than build something that cannot work
  • Ongoing maintenance when the provider changes their API — covered by a support plan

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

What if the API cannot do what we want?

We find that out during feasibility and tell you straight away. It is far cheaper to know in week one than in week six, and we would rather lose the sale than build something that cannot work.

What happens when the provider changes their API?

Integrations need maintenance. We alert on failures, and a support plan covers the fix. Without one, it becomes a new piece of work when it happens.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?
