Integration Services for United Kingdom Companies

Calm, clarity, and control in a fragmented IT landscape

Many United Kingdom organizations operate strong core systems such as ERP, CRM, and financial platforms, yet struggle at the integration layer. Systems do not communicate effectively, processes require manual intervention, and every additional connection feels like risky custom work.

Assimilator helps United Kingdom companies connect systems reliably, without unnecessarily modifying their core platforms.

Who We Are

  • Assimilator is a Dutch-led integration and automation specialist with a dedicated delivery team in South Africa.

  • Leadership, architecture, and accountability: Dutch

  • Execution and scalability: South African team

  • Contracts and invoicing: in euros

  • We combine cultural understanding and direct communication with an efficient and scalable delivery structure.

What We Do

We take ownership of the integration and automation layer between systems, allowing your internal teams to focus on their core platforms.

Typical Integrations

  • ERP ↔ CRM

  • ERP ↔ external partners

  • Telephone systems ↔ CRM / service processes

  • Financial systems ↔ operational platforms

  • API and webhook integrations

Automation Around People and Processes

Events and triggers between systems

Workflow automation (approvals, follow-ups, escalations)

Reduction of manual tasks

What We Explicitly Are Not

  • Not an ERP implementation provider

  • Not a replacement for existing platforms

  • Not generic outsourcing or body shopping

  • We work alongside your existing systems and partners — not through them.

When Organizations Engage Us

  • When integration work slows down project delivery

  • When customization pressure becomes too high for internal teams

  • When stability is more important than quick fixes

  • When integrations must remain transferable and manageable

Our Approach

1. Analysis & Scoping – We define systems, responsibilities, and data flows.

2. Clear Architecture – Integrations via documented interfaces, without lock-in.

3. Phased Delivery – Small, manageable steps with visible results.

4. Transferability – Documentation and knowledge remain available to the client.

Risk & Compliance

  • Clear separation of core systems

  • API-first approach

  • Support for EU hosting

  • GDPR role as sub-processor where applicable

  • Integrations must never increase the risk profile of your core systems.

Commercial Model

Clearly scoped integration assignments at fixed price

Retainer models for integration ownership

Transparent agreements, no open-ended commitments

Getting Acquainted

We prefer to start with a focused exploration or a small integration assignment. No long preliminary engagements — first collaborate and validate whether there is a strong fit.

Compliance

SARS is chasing you!

CIPC says you’re non-compliant, and now you’re losing tenders — we fix that fast, before it costs you another opportunity.

One of our clients was on the verge of losing a major tender because their Tax Clearance had lapsed and the CIPC had marked them non-compliant.

They were in a panic. Within 48 hours, we restored their SARS status, updated all CIPC filings, corrected the Beneficial Ownership Register, and secured their compliance. They won the tender—and today they never have to worry about missing another deadline because we monitor everything for them.

Finance & Payroll

Your books are messy!

Cash flow is unpredictable, and payroll errors are hurting trust — let us bring order to your numbers so you can run your business with confidence.

A consulting firm we worked with had no idea which projects were profitable and repeatedly faced cash shortfalls. After taking over their bookkeeping and payroll, we implemented clean month-end cycles, management accounts, and proper payroll controls.

Within three months, they had complete financial visibility, stable cash flow, and zero payroll disputes.

Financial Strategy & Operational Support

You’re working hard!

But the numbers don’t make sense — no roadmap, no KPIs, no forecasting. We help you build a financial system that supports real growth.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you structure your engagements, and what does the process look like?

We follow a PMBOK-aligned approach with clear phases: Discovery (understanding current state and pain points), Design (solution architecture and roadmap), Build (iterative development with client feedback), Deploy (controlled rollout with testing), and Handover (documentation and knowledge transfer). Each phase has defined deliverables, sign-offs, and success criteria. We typically start with a short discovery engagement (1–2 weeks) before committing to full implementation, ensuring alignment on scope, risk, and value.

What is your pricing model—fixed price, time and materials, or retainer?

 It depends on the nature and complexity of the work. For well-defined projects with clear scope (e.g., automating 3 specific document types), we offer fixed-price engagements with milestone-based payments. For exploratory or evolving work (e.g., complex integrations with unknown technical constraints), we use time-and-materials with regular budget reviews and go/no-go decision points. We also offer retained support packages for ongoing optimization, troubleshooting, and enhancement post-implementation.

Do we need to have specific software or platforms already in place?

Not necessarily. During discovery, we assess your current technology stack and recommend solutions that fit your environment, budget, and internal capabilities. Where you have existing platforms (ERP, CRM, document management), we design around them. Where gaps exist, we advise on appropriate tools, prioritizing solutions that offer good ROI, vendor stability, and ease of internal management. We're platform-agnostic and focus on what works best for your business.

How do you handle change management and user adoption?

Technology only delivers value when people use it correctly. We build change management into every engagement: stakeholder workshops to gather input early, pilot groups to test and refine before full rollout, role-based training tailored to how each team will use the solution, and precise documentation (user guides, process maps, quick reference cards). We also work with your leadership to establish accountability, communicate benefits, and address resistance proactively.

What happens after go-live? Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes, in multiple ways. Every engagement includes a handover phase where we transfer knowledge to your internal team and provide documentation for ongoing administration. We also offer post-implementation support packages—ranging from "on-call" troubleshooting to proactive monitoring and continuous improvement retainers. Many clients start with 30–90 days of hyper-care support immediately after go-live, then transition to a lighter retained model for enhancements and issue resolution.

Can you work with our existing IT team, or do you replace them?

We complement and empower your existing IT team, never replace them. Our role is to bring specialized expertise in process automation, integration architecture, and business systems—areas where internal teams often lack capacity or experience. We collaborate closely with your IT staff throughout delivery, involve them in design decisions, and ensure they're equipped to support solutions long-term. Many clients use us to accelerate projects their IT team doesn't have capacity for, or to tackle complex integrations that require niche skills.

How do you ensure our data remains secure and confidential?

We treat client data with the highest level of confidentiality and security. NDAs and data protection agreements govern all engagements. We follow security best practices, including role-based access controls, encrypted data transmission, secure development environments, and compliance with relevant regulations (such as POPIA and GDPR). Where we access production systems, we work within your security policies and audit requirements. We can also work entirely within your infrastructure if required, minimizing data exposure.

What industries or business sizes do you typically work with?

Our solutions are industry-agnostic but particularly valuable for professional services, construction, manufacturing, logistics, and financial services sectors where document-heavy processes, complex data flows, and multi-system environments create operational friction. We work with mid-sized businesses (50–500 employees) through to enterprise divisions, typically where growth or complexity has outpaced existing manual processes and off-the-shelf tools no longer fit.
