Standard ERP and POS software - QuickBooks, Odoo, Tally - comes with API access built in. That's how EFRIS Simplified connects them to URA: your software exposes transaction data via API, and we send it to EFRIS in real time.
Custom-built systems usually don't have that API layer. So instead of asking you to rebuild your software from scratch or run a parallel system, we go into your system and build the API export feature that's missing.
Once that feature is in place, your custom system connects to EFRIS Simplified exactly the same way QuickBooks or Odoo does - and every transaction reaches URA automatically, without anyone doing anything extra.
API Feature Built In
We write the API module directly inside your codebase - no third-party middleware or external agents.
Same Path as Standard ERPs
Once built, your system joins our integration platform just like QuickBooks or Odoo - no special handling.
Nothing Gets Replaced
Your existing system, workflows, and data stay exactly as they are. We only add what is missing.
You Own the Code
The API feature belongs to your system. It works independently and can serve any future integration need.
Real-time or Batched
The API we build can push transactions the moment they are recorded, or in batches - whichever suits your operations.
Secure by Design
API endpoints are authenticated with tokens. All data in transit is encrypted. Access is scoped to what EFRIS needs.
A clear, staged process so you always know what we're doing, why, and what comes next.
We start with a conversation about your business and your system. What does it do, how are transactions recorded, and who built it? No code required at this stage - just a walkthrough.
Our developers examine your codebase, database schema, and transaction data model. We establish what language and framework the system is built on, how invoices are stored, and what the cleanest place to build the API is.
We present a fixed-price proposal: exactly which API endpoints we will build, the data they will expose, estimated time to complete, and total cost. You approve before we write a single line of code.
We build the API export feature inside your system - authenticated endpoints that expose your transaction data in the format EFRIS Simplified expects. This is real feature development on your codebase, delivered with documentation.
We connect EFRIS Simplified to your new API and run full end-to-end tests: your system records a transaction, the API serves it, we submit it to URA, and verify the EFRIS portal reflects it correctly.
We switch to production, monitor the first real transactions together, and hand you complete documentation for your team. From this point your system is a first-class EFRIS Simplified integration with ongoing monitoring and support.
We do the heavy lifting. What we need from your side is access and context - not for your team to become EFRIS experts or write any integration code themselves.
We work against a staging or development copy of your system during the assessment and build phases, so production is never at risk until you approve go-live.
Access to your codebase
Read access to the relevant source code - or a staging environment we can deploy to. We work in a branch and nothing reaches production until you approve it.
Your database schema or ORM models
We need to understand how transactions and invoices are stored so we can build the API layer on top of the right data structures.
One technical contact
A developer or technical lead on your side who can answer questions during assessment and review the code we produce. No integration code needed from them.
A walkthrough of a typical sale
Walk us through what happens when a transaction is recorded - from creation to final state. A 20-minute screen share or a written description is enough.
There are two parts. A one-time development fee for designing and building the API feature inside your system - quoted after the technical assessment, once we know exactly what needs to be built. Then the standard annual subscription (UGX 1,500,000/year) that covers the EFRIS Simplified service, monitoring, and ongoing support.
The development fee varies by complexity. A system with a clean database model and a modern framework typically costs significantly less than you might expect. The exact number is confirmed before any work begins.
No commitment required for the first conversation. If your system can be enhanced with an API module - and almost any system can - we'll tell you exactly how and what it costs.
