APIs make the world go around, but building them takes time and money, right? With the right tool it doesn't.

APIs are the digital bridges that let systems "talk" to each other – sharing data, triggering actions, and keeping everything connected.

Building APIs from scratch is usually a long and costly job, though. You need developers, consultants and time to test and adjust. Not exactly synonymous with moving quickly when you want to automate processes or connect systems in smarter ways.

 

A shortcut to APIs

We wanted to make APIs easier and more accessible. In the Vince platform, you can expose any workflow you've built as an API.

This means that if you've created a process in Vince, like a set of approval rules, a data check or a calculation, you can instantly make it available as an API. Other systems like Infor OS, M3 or even third-party platforms can then call it and use it directly.

And with Custom API endpoints on top of that, you can create user-friendly URLs that mask the technical workflow IDs, making everything cleaner and more intuitive.

Viola! You have just created an API without coding or consultants.

 

Example: Get complete sales order data

Say you want to get a full sales order from M3. This often involves juggling many different API calls, like GetHead, GetOrderValue, GetAddress, LstLine and list goes on. For the sake of the example, lets say you’d need 8 APIs to get the full sales order.

Afterwards, you will probably get back cryptic field names like NTAM, CRD0, CUCD that nobody outside of M3 understands.

With Vince, you can create one workflow that:

  • Calls all the M3 APIs in sequence
  • Transforms the raw M3 data into clean, readable JSON
  • Packages everything into one simple endpoint: /v1/custom-apis/live/m3/sales-order

What would take 8 API calls and complex field mapping now becomes one simple request returning human-readable data like orderNumber, customerName, deliveryDate.

 

Instant innovation

Since you can take control of your integrations easily, you can now turn ideas into opportunities. The possibilities are endless, but for starters, you can use Vince to:

  • Combine multiple APIs and source systems into one smart workflow
  • Run real-time calculations and business logic before sending back results
  • Return custom values tailored to your exact needs
  • Automate processes across your entire ecosystem without extra development

In other words: you don't just save time and costs. You make your organization more flexible, responsive and ready to innovate.

 

With Vince, you simply build your logic once, then share it everywhere
