Custom Dell Boomi integration development
Your organisation runs dozens of applications that don't talk to each other. Manual data entry, inconsistent information and delays cost time and money. Appfront builds Dell Boomi integrations that connect your systems seamlessly, from ERP and CRM to e-commerce and legacy software.
What is Dell Boomi?
Dell Boomi — now simply Boomi — is one of the leading integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions in the world. The platform enables organisations to connect applications, data and processes through a visual, low-code interface in the cloud.
Why Boomi?
Boomi stands out for its extensive library of pre-built connectors (over 200,000), an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and the ability to connect both cloud and on-premise systems. Where manual API integrations can take weeks of development time, a Boomi integration often takes days.
Who is it for?
Boomi is suited to organisations that want to integrate multiple business applications without becoming dependent on heavy custom code. Mid-sized to large organisations with a mix of SaaS applications, legacy systems and on-premise software in particular benefit from the flexibility Boomi offers.
Boomi is a platform, not an off-the-shelf solution. It requires a well-considered architecture, knowledge of data transformations and an understanding of your business processes. Appfront combines Boomi expertise with years of experience in custom software development, so your integration not only works technically but genuinely improves your business processes.
What do we connect via Dell Boomi?
Boomi can connect almost any system. These are the most common integration categories we build.
ERP integration
Connect SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Exact Online to your other systems. Synchronise orders, stock, invoicing and financial data in real time without manual entry.
CRM integration
Connect Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Microsoft Dynamics CRM to your marketing, invoicing and support systems. One customer view across all departments.
HRM integration
Synchronise Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, AFAS or Personio with your payroll administration, scheduling software and access systems. Less manual work for HR.
E-commerce integration
Integrate Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce or your own webshop with fulfilment, stock and accounting. Orders flow automatically through to your back office.
Database synchronisation
Connect SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB or other databases with your application landscape. Master data management, data replication and ETL processes via Boomi.
Legacy system integration
Do you have systems without a modern API? Through Boomi Atoms, file-based integration or database connectors, we also connect older systems to your modern applications.
Boomi architecture and technology
A successful Boomi implementation starts with the right architectural choices. We design your integration platform so that it is scalable, secure and maintainable.
Boomi AtomSphere
The Boomi AtomSphere platform is the cloud-based environment in which you design, deploy and monitor integrations. We configure your AtomSphere environment with the right environments (development, test, production), user roles and governance rules.
Atoms and Molecules
An Atom is the Boomi runtime engine, the component that actually executes your integration processes. Atoms can run in the cloud or on-premise. For high availability, we group Atoms into Molecules: a cluster that provides automatic failover.
Hybrid architecture as standard. We almost always recommend a hybrid setup: Boomi's management layer in the cloud, with local Atoms for sensitive data flows. This way you benefit from cloud flexibility without your business data leaving your network. Read more about our approach to IT modernisation.
Signs that your organisation needs an integration platform
Many organisations accept manual data transfer as normal. Do you recognise one or more of these signs? If so, a Boomi integration will immediately save time and the cost of errors.
Duplicate data entry
Staff enter the same information into several systems: customer details from the CRM into the ERP, orders from the webshop into the accounts package. This costs hours every week and leads to inconsistencies.
CSV files as integration
Teams export data as CSV or Excel, edit it by hand and import it into another system. This is error-prone, not real-time and does not scale as the business grows.
No single view of customers or orders
Sales, support and finance work from different versions of the truth. Customer information is spread across systems and nobody has the full picture.
Slow onboarding of new tools
Every new SaaS application requires a bespoke integration that takes months. Your IT department becomes a bottleneck rather than an enabler.
Our integration process
A Boomi integration is more than configuring connectors. We follow a structured process that combines technical quality with business value.
Integration analysis
We map out your application landscape: which systems need to communicate, which data flows where and which business rules apply. This results in an integration design with data flow diagrams.
Architecture and set-up
We configure your Boomi environment: AtomSphere account, Atoms (cloud or on-premise), environments, security settings and monitoring. Everything follows best practices for scalability and security.
Integration development
Our developers build the integration processes in Boomi: connectors, data transformations, error handling and business rules. Every integration flow is documented and tested with representative data.
Testing and validation
End-to-end tests with your actual systems and data. We validate data quality, performance under load, error scenarios and failover. Only once everything works do we move to production.
Go-live and management
After go-live we actively monitor your integrations and provide ongoing management. When systems are updated or your processes change, we adapt the integration. You always have a point of contact.

Full technical control
We understand not just Boomi, but also the systems you connect. Whether it's SAP structures, Salesforce objects or a legacy database, we speak the language of your source files.
Long-term partner
Our support doesn't end at go-live. Through ongoing management and maintenance, we make sure your integrations grow with your organisation. New systems? We'll connect them too.
Transparent way of working
No black-box integrations. We document every flow, train your team in Boomi fundamentals and make sure you are not dependent on a single party. Read more about our platform engineering approach.
Integration is the backbone of your digital organisation
Standalone applications are like islands without bridges. However powerful each system is on its own, without integration you miss the coherence that makes your processes fast, error-free and scalable. A well-designed Boomi integration is not an IT project but a strategic investment in your organisation's operational capability.
