Integration Audit

When orders go missing, inventory drifts, and no one can say why, the problem is rarely a single bad connector. It is years of undocumented flows, unclear ownership, and failures no one is watching. This audit maps what you actually have, ranks what is putting revenue at risk, and hands you a stabilization plan you can act on.

Deliverables

What you get

Signal 01

Flow inventory: Every integration, batch job, file drop, and manual workaround touching orders, inventory, catalog, pricing, and customers, including the ones no one documented.

Signal 02

Failure analysis: What is actually breaking, traced through logs, errors, sync delays, duplicate jobs, and rejected payloads, with root cause rather than symptoms.

Signal 03

Data-quality review: Identifier mismatches, mapping gaps, stale records, and orphaned data that quietly corrupt reporting and fulfillment.

Signal 04

Stabilization plan: Fixes ranked by revenue impact and launch risk, each with an owner and a sequence you can staff.

DeepDive

When an audit pays off

Run one before a replatform, when rescuing a stalled project, after a string of production incidents, or when the team has stopped trusting what the systems report. It is cheapest when you still have time to act on it and most valuable when a launch date is already fixed. Most of what we find traces back to the same roots: unclear data ownership and missing runbooks and monitoring.

What happens after

The audit stands on its own; you leave with the map and the plan whether or not we build anything. From there it typically leads to a stabilization sprint, a connector replacement, a middleware redesign, or putting real monitoring and runbooks in place so the next failure is caught before a customer sees it.

Outputs

What the team should leave with

Signal 01

A source-of-truth map for the data objects that create project or production risk.

Signal 02

A ranked decision list separating immediate fixes from roadmap-level architecture changes.

Signal 03

Clear ownership for failures, retries, dashboards, runbooks, and release handoff.

Signal 04

A delivery sequence small enough to validate before the next major commitment.

FAQ

Operational questions

When should we run an audit?

When growth is blocked by unclear data ownership, brittle connectors, slow releases, or a team that cannot confidently operate the integrations after launch. If you are about to commit budget to a replatform or a fix, audit first so you are spending against evidence.

Can this be a short engagement?

Yes. Discovery, audit, and architecture review can be scoped as short standalone passes. Build and managed delivery can follow if the roadmap is approved.

Do you work with our existing agency or internal team?

Yes. CCI can act as the integration architecture layer, delivery team, or review partner alongside internal engineering, vendors, SI partners, and platform teams.
