Connecting your systems for smarter, seamless operations

In today’s digital landscape, institutions are increasingly relying on API connectivity to streamline services, reduce manual processes, and enable real-time data sharing between systems. Smarthub and Smartlab support this demand with flexible, powerful API integrations—both inbound and outbound.

At the heart of Smarthub and Smartlab is their ability to connect effortlessly with external platforms. One prime example is our experience of integrating using Mulesoft and Seam. These multi agent platforms offer dynamic flows between our systems and a multitude of third party services and products.  Recently we have created a connection via Seam for a major client to automate and control door locking systems. These integrations enable facility access to be controlled with equipment or room bookings, creating a secure and automated environment with minimal administrative overhead.

Our own native API allows institutions to integrate directly with our system’s core functions, such as booking management, user account services, and timetabling. This empowers clients to sync Smarthub and Smartlab with internal systems or third-party tools, ensuring consistency across platforms and supporting tailored workflows.

Beyond APIs, we offer a wide range of integrations to suit varied operational needs. These include smart lockers for key and equipment management, supporting secure, automated handovers. We also integrate with leading Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions for streamlined user access, and popular calendar services like Microsoft Office 365 and Google Calendar to sync bookings with personal schedules. For financial transactions, we support major payment gateways including PayPal, Opayo, and WPM. Additionally, integrations with platforms like Airtable allow clients to bridge Smarthub with project or data management systems.

Whether you’re looking to automate access control, link bookings with institutional timetables, or centralise operations across departments, Smarthub’s API and integration capabilities are designed to fit into your ecosystem—enhancing efficiency, visibility, and control across your organisation.
