Created to offer additional benefit to the user by sharing data between AutoFlow and your application.

This area outlines the requirements and guidelines for successful integration to ensure seamless data exchange and a positive customer experience. AutoFlow is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the workflow of bodyshops. It includes features like workshop scheduling, courtesy car management, parts inventory, customer billing, reporting, and more. The integration aims to facilitate data sharing between our platform and your application.

Integration Methods

We support the following integration methods. You can choose what best suits your systems capabilities:

RESTful

RESTful APIs

(Recommended)
AutoFlow offers RESTful APIs, utilising JSON to enable secure data exchange over HTTPS.
SOAP

SOAP Web Services

AutoFlow supports SOAP-based web services that use XML to facilitate data exchange securely over HTTPS.

Data Exchange

Data should be exchanged in a structured and standardised format as agreed upon. This includes adhering to specific protocols and formats, like JSON or XML, as relevant to the chosen integration method. All required fields must be present, and data mappings should be clearly documented for clarity.

To facilitate this integration, third-party partners must share the relevant schema documents that detail the structure, constraints, and relationships of the data being exchanged. This will help ensure that the integration aligns with our platform requirements and provides a seamless data transfer experience.

Additionally, the third party should provide comprehensive documentation outlining how they intend to map their data to our data model. This should include the identification of all fields, relationships, and transformations necessary for successful integration. Both parties must collaborate in the planning phase to review these details and agree upon the exact specifications, ensuring that the data exchange process is accurate, efficient, and aligned with the mutual objectives of the integration.

Overview of Data Usage

Third-party partners must provide a clear overview of how they will use the data provided. This should include details on the following:

Data Processing: An explanation of the processing activities, operations, and purposes for which the data will be used.
Access Control: Specific measures and controls employed to restrict access to the data, including role-based controls, authentication mechanisms, and access logging.
Retention Policies: Compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements regarding data retention and disposal.
Compliance and Audits: Information on how the third party complies with relevant laws and regulations, including any audits or assessments conducted to validate compliance.
Validation and Acceptance: A well-defined plan for transitioning from the testing phase to production must be developed, detailing all necessary steps and considerations.
Transition Planning: A well-defined plan for transitioning from the testing phase to production must be developed, detailing all necessary steps and considerations.

Support and Maintenance

Partners are expected to provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that the integration functions effectively and efficiently.

Cyber Insurance

The third-party should maintain appropriate insurance coverage against potential cyber incidents or breaches.

Legal Considerations

All data sharing and integration activities must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Both parties are required to sign a legally binding agreement that outlines their respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations.
