Overview
Flogas has been a CODAS customer for over two decades, with CODAS powering their core operational processes throughout that time. As the business has evolved, so too has the surrounding technology landscape. Websites, CRM platforms, marketing tools, customer payment channels and specialist routing systems have all changed. Throughout this evolution, CODAS has remained the stable core ERP platform, with peripheral systems integrated around it.
The Challenge: Legacy Integration Methods
Data exchange services and batch file transfers
Bespoke, point-to-point integrations
Older, SOAP-style APIs built uniquely for individual use cases
Integrations were tightly coupled and costly to change
Each new system introduced bespoke development and risk
Replacing one peripheral application often meant reworking multiple integrations
The Solution: CODAS API Suite
The introduction of the CODAS API suite marked a step-change in how Flogas integrates its wider application ecosystem.
Rather than bespoke, one-off interfaces, Flogas now uses a RESTful API layer to integrate peripheral systems cleanly and consistently with CODAS.
This includes:
A bespoke website integration
Allowing modern, customer-facing digital journeys that benefit from real-time data updates while keeping CODAS as the single source of truth.
CRM integration
Supporting prospecting, lead management, and marketing activity with structured, automated data flows.
Routing system integration
Enabling Flogas to use its routing and optimisation platform of choice with a seamless flow in and out of the core CODAS business logic.
IVR payment integration
Ddelivering automated telephone payments, securely processed and posted directly into CODAS, reducing manual handling and supporting high-volume transactions.
Why This Matters
The shift to CODAS APIs has delivered tangible, long-term benefits:
Greater flexibility and lower risk
Peripheral systems can be replaced or upgraded independently, without re-engineering the entire integration landscape.Reduced technical debt
Moving away from bespoke SOAP and data-exchange integrations has simplified maintenance and improved resilience.Future-ready architecture
New digital initiatives can be introduced faster, using the same API framework.
A Platform Built to Evolve
For Flogas, CODAS APIs represent more than just a technical upgrade - they provide confidence that a proven ERP platform can continue to support the business as technology, customer expectations, and operational models evolve.
“CODAS has powered our business for decades. The CODAS API suite has allowed us to modernise how we integrate with new systems, without compromising stability. It gives us the flexibility to evolve our application landscape while keeping CODAS firmly at the core.”
— Dan Hickman, IT Director, Flogas
