Custom integration software
Status: closed beta. Contact us to discuss participation.
Custom integrations, built to the problem.
Lightbridge Software develops custom integrations in-house: targeted software that connects the specific platforms a business depends on, designed around a defined operational problem rather than a generic template. Custom integrations are currently in closed beta, so interested companies should contact Lightbridge Software to discuss participation.
Data still moves between systems by hand.
Most businesses run several systems of record, and no two of them were built to talk to each other. The gap gets filled by manual exports, copy-paste updates, and spreadsheets that live between platforms rather than inside one. Each workaround costs time and introduces the kind of error that only surfaces after the data has already moved.
A generic connector or a template integration often does not fit, because the workflow that breaks is specific to how one business actually operates. Lightbridge Software builds the integration around that specific workflow instead of asking the business to adapt to a prebuilt connector.
What a custom integration from Lightbridge Software looks like.
Scoped to one operational problem
Each build starts from a specific workflow that breaks down between systems, not a generic integration template. The scope is the problem, so the build stays small.
Engineered in-house
The same team that designs the integration writes the code. There is no handoff to an offshore bench or a subcontractor who never saw the requirements.
Built on the platforms already in use
Integrations connect to NetSuite and the other systems a business already runs, using the APIs, webhooks, and scripting layers those platforms expose, rather than replacing what is already working.
No forced re-platforming
The integration fits around existing systems and processes. Teams keep the tools they already use; the integration is the layer that makes those tools talk to each other correctly.
Where custom integrations fit next to Lightbridge Cloud and Lightbridge ERP.
Three different Lightbridge entities touch integration work, and each owns a different part of it. Lightbridge Cloud runs an iPaaS practice on platforms such as MuleSoft and Boomi, suited to programs with many endpoints and integration patterns meant to be reused and governed at scale. Lightbridge ERP advises on and delivers NetSuite integration decisions, including when point-to-point or custom code beats an iPaaS platform, as part of a wider ERP advisory engagement.
Lightbridge Software sits apart from both. It is a product engineering shop that builds standalone integration software as a discrete deliverable: not an iPaaS platform, and not a workstream inside a larger ERP program. A business evaluating a governed, multi-endpoint integration platform should start with Lightbridge Cloud. A business making a NetSuite platform or architecture decision should start with Lightbridge ERP. A business that needs one specific integration built should start here.
Lightbridge Software builds products the same way.
Lightbridge Software's products, including Predictive Third-Party Shipping Intelligence and Purchase Order Consolidation (both in closed beta), started as targeted software built to close a gap between a stock system and how a business actually runs. Custom integrations follow the same discipline for a problem that is specific enough to one business that it will not become a packaged product: engineered in-house and scoped to the operational problem rather than a feature list. Custom integrations are in closed beta too; see closed beta participation.
Custom integrations: frequently asked questions
What are custom integrations at Lightbridge Software?
Custom integrations are targeted software that Lightbridge Software builds in-house to connect the specific platforms a business depends on, addressing a defined operational problem rather than a generic template. They are in closed beta.
What kinds of systems do custom integrations connect?
A custom integration typically connects an ERP such as NetSuite to another system a business runs: a shipping carrier, a CRM, a warehouse tool, an e-commerce platform, an internal database, or an AI assistant. The common thread is a specific, defined data flow between two or more systems, not a general-purpose connector library.
How is this different from Lightbridge Cloud's integration services?
Lightbridge Cloud runs an iPaaS practice built on platforms like MuleSoft and Boomi, suited to high-volume integration programs with many endpoints and reusable connector patterns, governed through a dedicated integration platform. Lightbridge Software builds bespoke, code-level integrations for a specific operational problem, engineered in-house rather than run through an iPaaS platform. An organization evaluating iPaaS should start with Lightbridge Cloud at lightbridgecloud.com.
How is this different from Lightbridge ERP's NetSuite integration work?
Lightbridge ERP advises on and delivers NetSuite integration as part of a broader ERP engagement: selecting the right integration approach, whether iPaaS, point-to-point, or custom SuiteScript, and leading the implementation as part of a NetSuite program. Lightbridge Software is a product engineering shop: it builds standalone integration software as a discrete deliverable, independent of a wider ERP advisory engagement. For NetSuite selection, implementation, or optimization, the right starting point is Lightbridge ERP at lightbridgeerp.com.
Do custom integrations have to involve NetSuite?
No. NetSuite is the platform Lightbridge Software has deepest experience with, since it is also the platform behind the NetSuite modules now in closed beta, but a custom integration can connect any combination of systems a business runs, including platforms with no NetSuite involvement at all.
Who builds and maintains a custom integration?
Lightbridge Software's own engineers design and build every custom integration. There is no offshore subcontractor and no third-party staffing bench between the team that wrote the requirements and the team that wrote the code.
Are custom integrations in closed beta?
Yes. Custom integrations are in closed beta, as are all Lightbridge Software offerings. To discuss participation, contact us through the contact page.
How do I start a conversation about a custom integration?
Use the contact page. Describe the specific operational problem: which systems need to talk to each other, what data moves between them, and where the current process breaks down or requires manual work.
Tell us what needs to connect.
Describe the systems involved and where the process breaks down today, and we will discuss closed beta participation.
