Custom Connectors
Purpose built integrations designed around your systems
Secure, scalable connectors that link CRM, finance and specialist platforms into one connected environment.
Not every system integrates neatly.
Many organisations rely on specialist software, legacy platforms or industry-specific tools that do not offer simple, out-of-the-box integration. Standard connectors often fall short, forcing teams to rely on manual workarounds.
Custom Connectors solve this problem.
Avrion designs and builds secure, purpose-built integration layers that connect your systems properly, ensuring data flows reliably and processes remain structured.

When custom connectors are required
Off-the-shelf integration tools are not always sufficient.
Custom connectors become necessary when:
- Legacy systems lack modern integration capability
- APIs are limited or inconsistent
- Data structures differ significantly between platforms
- Complex business logic must be preserved
- Security or compliance requires controlled architecture
- Manual data transfer creates operational risk
In these cases, structured integration architecture is critical.
What custom connectors should deliver
A well-designed connector enables you to:
- Synchronise data automatically between systems
- Preserve data integrity and validation rules
- Trigger workflows across platforms
- Maintain clear master data ownership
- Reduce manual reconciliation
- Improve cross-system reporting
The objective is systems reliability, not simply connectivity.
Types of systems we commonly connect
Custom connectors are frequently built between:
- CRM platforms and finance systems
- ERP and operational software
- Industry-specific databases
- Marketing automation tools
- Bespoke web and mobile applications
- Reporting and data platforms
Each connector is designed around specific business requirements rather than generic assumptions.
Automation and workflow integration
Custom connectors often enable:
- Automated order-to-invoice processes
- Real-time data synchronisation
- Cross-system approval workflows
- Customer status updates
- Performance reporting alignment
Integration becomes a driver of operational efficiency.
Security, governance and monitoring
Integration must be properly controlled.
We ensure:
- Secure authentication and encryption
- Role-based access management
- Structured error handling
- Logging and performance monitoring
- Clear ownership and lifecycle planning
Protecting both data integrity and systems performance.
The Avrion approach to custom integration
We approach connector development architecturally.
Our methodology includes:
- Mapping systems architecture and dependencies
- Defining data ownership and synchronisation logic
- Designing secure API or middleware connections
- Implementing validation, logging and error handling
- Documenting integration logic
- Establishing governance and monitoring processes
This ensures integrations remain maintainable, lawful and scalable.
Relying on manual data transfers?
If teams export and import spreadsheets between systems regularly, or data inconsistencies create reporting challenges, a Business Health Check can identify where custom connectors would deliver measurable improvement.
We assess:
- Current integration gaps
- Data duplication and accuracy risks
- Workflow inefficiencies
- Scalability concerns
Providing structured recommendations mapped to your commercial priorities.

What do our customers say?
“Maximizer CRM has been an invaluable tool. It enables us to be very efficient, keep on top of client projects and opportunities, and deliver the service we want to for our customers.”
Graham Cording – Smart Presentations“Avrion is an agile, approachable, friendly company. They are easy to deal with and deliver on what they set out to achieve.”
Tom Crowther – Belvoir“Data is one of the most valuable assets any business has, but unlocking its true value depends on quality, meaningful analysis, and having the right tools and skills to turn insights into strategy and revenue. Having worked with Avrion, I can say they really do bring the expertise to help businesses make that transformation!”
Catherine Royle – Restore plc“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”
Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications“Avrion truly understood our business and tailored Dynamics 365 to fit our needs. The phased approach made adoption seamless, and we’re already seeing major time savings. Our internal processes are now streamlined, and we’re well-positioned for future growth. It’s a game-changer for us. Looking back, partnering with Avrion to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 was one of the best decisions we made. Our operations are now efficient, our team collaborates seamlessly, and we’re equipped to scale our business with confidence. If your company is struggling with inefficiencies like we were, I highly recommend working with Avrion – they’ll make sure you get a solution that truly works for you.”
Raj Mahay – Resin Products“Avrion has, from the start, been very honest and clear about what we can achieve without spending vast sums of money on an entirely new system. We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope. Avrion built the system according to our needs and fine-tuned it as required once we began to use it. They have been very supportive throughout and helped us navigate through the entire process. We now have a system that can evolve as the development does, to improve and continually improve account visibility for our homeowners and improve cash flow by utilising the automation that we required.”
Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management“Working with Avrion has been easy – not just because they understand the business, but because they are open to helping make things work. The answer is almost never “no” – but if it is – there is always an alternative solution to get around the issue put forward.”
Charlotte Hurrell – Belvoir Group“We have experienced a huge shift in the efficiency of the business with the all-round delivery of service.”
Tracey Hammond – Dengie“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”
Craig Sansom – Prestige“At our internal review in 2019 we, as a company, asked if we were doing ourselves justice using Maximizer as our CRM solution or was there something better? We concluded that the price point for the system gives us a budget to develop our own specific customisations that are more beneficial for productivity and efficiency as well. After almost a year of trying unsuccessfully to engage with our existing partner, trying to get them to talk about upgrading and personalising the system, we decided to switch over to Avrion. Avrion had been in conversation with us and once we engaged with them, they immediately gave us something unique. They allowed us to effectively have an off-the-shelf CRM system that we could customise – at affordable rates. Rates that are competitive for SMEs. Once we formed a partnership with Avrion, for the first time in seventeen years we were working with a really engaged partner, which is something unique. Avrion enabled the changes to revolutionise our workflow through small steps that added huge impact. Not many people do that.”
