Saltbox API Gateway
When Fast-ish Isn't Fast Enough, You Need Real-Time Integration
Moving and modifying data on a pre-defined schedule or as part of a triggered automation is sufficient—usually. But as web interfaces and instant gratification become social norms, more companies are adopting real-time integration solutions to improve the customer experience and gain a competitive advantage.
Deliver on the Promise of Real-Time
The Saltbox API (application programming interface) Gateway facilitates real-time integration between Vision33's The Saltbox Platform and any third-party application. It provides a secure, bi-directional pathway to trigger workflows and transmit mission-critical business data.
