Bounex Use Cases
ERP Data Sync
Keep your enterprise systems in perfect harmony by automating data flow between them.
Automated Sales Order Processing
A major retail company uses Bounex's **Inbound API** to receive JSON-formatted sales orders from their e-commerce platform. Bounex automatically validates the data and writes it directly to their on-premise Oracle ERP system, eliminating manual data entry and speeding up order fulfillment.
Vendor Master Data Synchronization
An enterprise with multiple ERPs needs to keep vendor data consistent. Bounex's **Outbound Worker** runs a scheduled query on the primary ERP's SQL Server database and pushes new or updated vendor information to the other systems via their RESTful APIs, ensuring data integrity across the organization.
Scheduled Email Campaigns
Automate notifications, reports, and follow-ups with intelligent, data-driven mail dispatch.
Weekly Performance Reports
A marketing team uses Bounex's **Outbound Worker** to automatically generate and send weekly performance reports. The worker queries data from their marketing database and embeds the results in a pre-designed HTML email template, sending it to all stakeholders every Monday morning.
Customer Follow-up Notifications
After an **Inbound API** receives a 'completed service' trigger from a field technician's app, Bounex dispatches a personalized email to the customer, including a satisfaction survey link. This happens instantly, ensuring timely feedback collection.
Automated Reporting
Daily Sales Dashboard Updates
A company requires its BI dashboard to be updated with real-time sales data. Bounex continuously pulls sales records from the main database and pushes them to the dashboard's API, providing up-to-the-minute insights for business analysts.
Monthly Financial Report Generation
At the end of each month, the financial department uses Bounex to aggregate data from multiple data sources—including Excel files in a cloud storage and an on-prem SQL database—and consolidate it into a single, structured CSV file, which is then uploaded to a financial reporting service.
CRM Integration
New Lead Synchronization
When a new lead fills out a form on the website, Bounex's **Inbound API** captures the data and instantly creates a new contact record in the company's Salesforce CRM, ensuring no lead is missed.
Sales Activity Logging
After a sales representative updates a client's status in a custom internal application, Bounex automatically logs that activity and a summary note to the corresponding contact's timeline in HubSpot, keeping the CRM up to date without manual effort.
AI System Binding
Intelligent Product Recommendations
An e-commerce store leverages Bounex to send a customer’s recent purchase history to an AI recommendation engine. Bounex then receives the generated product suggestions and pushes them to the store's marketing automation tool for personalized email campaigns.
Automated Content Tagging
When a new product image is uploaded to the company's server, Bounex sends the image URL to an AI service for object recognition. It then retrieves the metadata (tags) and updates the product's entry in the database with relevant keywords, improving searchability.
E-commerce Sync
Inventory Management and Price Sync
To prevent overselling, Bounex monitors stock levels in the warehouse database. When a product's stock drops below a certain threshold, Bounex updates its availability and price on the online store's Magento platform in real-time.
Order Fulfillment and Shipping
A logistics company uses Bounex to retrieve new orders from a client's Shopify store. The data is then transformed and sent to the internal warehouse management system (WMS) and the shipping carrier's API to generate a shipping label automatically.
IoT Data Integration
Sensor Data to Cloud Analytics
Temperature and humidity sensors from a smart factory send data to Bounex's **Inbound API**. Bounex then filters and routes this data to a cloud-based analytics platform (like AWS IoT Analytics) for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance analysis.
Device Status Alerts
If an IoT device sends a 'critical error' message, Bounex’s **Inbound API** captures the event and immediately dispatches a webhook to a team communication tool (like Slack or Microsoft Teams) to notify the support team, enabling a rapid response.
Multi-platform Authentication
Unified User Profile Sync
When a new user is created in the primary Active Directory system, Bounex securely pushes the user's profile and credentials to a third-party application's LDAP system, ensuring single sign-on (SSO) capabilities across the enterprise.
Secure API Key Management
A company uses Bounex to automate the lifecycle of its API keys. Bounex can periodically generate new, temporary keys and push them to various services that require an API Key for authentication, enhancing security without manual intervention.
Document Sync & Tagging
Invoice Archiving and Tagging
When a new invoice is received via email, an internal process sends the document as a Base64-encoded string to Bounex. Bounex extracts key data (invoice number, date, amount) and archives the document to a DMS, while automatically tagging it for easy retrieval.
Automated Contract Versioning
When a revised contract is saved in the shared network drive, Bounex detects the change and uploads the new version to a document management system (e.g., SharePoint), ensuring version control and providing an audit trail for legal teams.
Payment Provider Integration
Real-Time Payment Confirmation
After a customer completes a purchase, the payment gateway (like Stripe) sends a webhook to Bounex. Bounex then updates the corresponding order's status to 'paid' in the ERP system in real-time, triggering the order fulfillment process.
Recurring Subscription Billing
Bounex's **Outbound Worker** runs a query every month to identify customers with an active subscription. It then sends a secure API call to a payment provider (like Iyzico) to process the recurring payment and updates the customer's subscription status in the database.
Webhook Automation
Sales Pipeline Notifications
When a deal is moved to 'closed won' in the company's sales CRM, the CRM sends a webhook to Bounex. Bounex then immediately sends a celebratory message to the team's Slack channel, notifying everyone of the new deal.
Support Ticket Escalation
An inbound webhook from the customer support platform notifies Bounex when a ticket's status is 'unresolved' for more than 48 hours. Bounex then sends an email to the support manager, escalating the ticket for immediate review.
Legacy App Interfacing
Bridging Mainframe Data to Cloud
A bank's legacy mainframe system requires a scheduled batch job to generate a data file. Bounex's **Outbound Worker** retrieves this file from a network directory and pushes it to a modern cloud-based analytics application via a RESTful API, making the data accessible without modernizing the core system.
SOAP to REST API Conversion
A manufacturing company needs to connect its legacy inventory system (which only supports SOAP) to its modern e-commerce platform (which uses REST). Bounex acts as a middleware, receiving RESTful calls, transforming the payload to SOAP format, and relaying it to the legacy system.
