The Crossfire Platform is the central intersection where integration messages are received, translated and sent.
It provides a single entry point for your system to connect to, whilst giving you a suite of integrations to leverage.
As part of the platform, we have a full library of message standards for hundreds of trading partners and systems. This means you can connect quickly, with flexibility for bespoke connections to your business as required.
From start-up to enterprise, Crossfire handles it all
Flexible yet scalable
Crossfire’s platform is built to handle any scale. From 10 messages a day to 1 million, custom logic and robust infrastructure easily support your integration demands.
Authenticated and secure
Every message that travels through the platform is validated and private. As an ISO27001 certified organisation, we ensure the security of your data across our application and environment.
Delivered as a fully-managed service
You’re the expert in your business niche; we’re the experts in ours. Rather than ask you to specialise in integration too, we take responsibility for the end to end setup, implementation and ongoing support.
