Client Overview

Our client, a leader in the personal healthcare industry, has been championing a holistic approach to nutrition to enhance health outcomes over the past decades. Their primary mission is to educate healthcare practitioners through their proprietary training programs.

The Challenge

When we first partnered with this organization, they were transitioning from a legacy payment platform to Stripe. This change was necessary due to the increasing complexity of their numerous monthly payment options and specialized programs. Migrating old transaction records to Stripe while maintaining accurate records moving forward posed a significant challenge. The organization needed to ensure that all historical data was transferred correctly and that new transactions were accurately recorded in real-time.

Compounding the issue was an understaffed finance department struggling with the existing manual processes. The team was already overwhelmed, and the additional workload of managing the transition threatened to disrupt their operations. They needed a seamless and efficient solution to automate data entry and synchronization, reducing the risk of errors and freeing up valuable resources to focus on more strategic financial tasks.

Our Solution

Discover how our custom API integration with Stripe and Google Workspace streamlined transaction data management, and how expanding this integration to Salesforce enhanced customer segmentation and communication. Leveraging AWS’s serverless infrastructure, we delivered a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective solution that transformed the client’s operations. Here are the key details of our solution:

  1. Custom API Integration with Stripe and SharePoint: We developed a custom API integration to connect Stripe with their Google Workspace resources, where transaction records were stored in Google Sheets. This integration ensured that every transaction processed in Stripe was automatically synced with the Google Sheets in real-time, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors.
  2. Expanding Integration to CRM – Salesforce: Recognizing the need for better customer segmentation and communication, we expanded the integration to sync transaction information with their CRM, Salesforce. This allowed transaction data to be used as automation triggers, enabling the client to segment and communicate with different customer groups more effectively.
  3. Leveraging Cloud Technologies: By utilizing serverless infrastructure on AWS, we provided a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective solution. This infrastructure minimized operational costs while ensuring high availability and performance.
