Often the standard integrations for Freshbooks and Lightspeed aren't flexible enough to handle your complex business logic. Businesses even end up changing their practices, just to work within the limitations of their off-the-shelf integration platform.
Blackball Software specialises in complex system integrations and can advise on cost-effective approaches and best-practices.

Blackball has been building software since 2004. We've built multi-national systems processing millions of data points hourly. We've built financial compliance and monitoring systems. Our software is in some of the largest manufacturing plants in the country.
But we've also built software for a huge number of small & medium size customers - from retail stores needing real-time sales info on their clients, to small businesses with an e-commerce requirement, to startups with a hot idea but not-so-hot bank balance.
And now we bring that experience to you
We don't build software anymore - in many cases your systems can be built using a mix of off-the-shelf products and No Code platforms.
However, this approach lacks one thing - experience. Blackball has a unique insight into the needs of the entire spectrum of clients and we've realized that, although different in scale and budget, most software projects have the same fundamental requirements. Customer-facing features like high-performing reports, data management & email notifications. And just as importantly, architectural features like caching, localisation, API access, multi-threading and data synchronization.
We even wrote the book about it
Get a lifetime's worth of tips and insights with our book - How to know if your software developer is trying to kill you.

And all for the price of about 15 minutes of professional consultancy time - this one's a no-brainer.
