CONNECTING SOFTWARE, STREAMLINING WORKFLOWS, AND HELPING BUSINESSES DO MORE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY THEY ALREADY OWN
An order arrives in one system. Someone retypes it into another. A spreadsheet fills the gap. By the time the information reaches accounting, shipping, or management, employees have already spent valuable time moving data instead of moving the business forward.
These everyday disconnects are where Work Horse Integrations finds opportunities for innovation.
Established in 2015 and based in Tallmadge, Ohio, the software integration company helps businesses connect their applications, automate workflows, and get more value from the technology they already own. Its work addresses a familiar challenge: individually useful systems that struggle to function as a coordinated whole.
For the people working between those systems, the consequences are tangible. Duplicate entry consumes time. Information arrives late. Teams develop workarounds that become increasingly difficult to maintain as the business grows.
Work Horse Integrations starts by understanding that work.
UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESS BEHIND TECHNOLOGY
Led by Owner and Managing Partner Beth Leipold and Senior Architect Erich Leipold, Work Horse Integrations brings business perspective and technical depth to integration challenges.
Its approach begins with questions about how information moves, who depends on it, and where the process breaks down. Understanding those details helps the team determine what should be connected and how an automated workflow should behave.
That may involve custom application programming interfaces, enterprise integration through MuleSoft, or workflows built with Zapier. Technology follows the needs of the process.
As a vendor-neutral company, Work Horse Integrations can evaluate solutions around a client’s existing environment. Sometimes meaningful progress comes from connecting systems that already serve the business well, extending their usefulness while reducing the manual effort around them.
The company also helps organizations revisit automations and integrations that have become unreliable or difficult to manage. These engagements require understanding both the original technical design and the operational realities that have developed around it.
BRINGING CONNECTIVITY TO QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP
That same practical thinking led to QBD Connect, a Work Horse Integrations platform designed to connect QuickBooks Desktop with API-enabled applications.
For businesses that rely on QuickBooks Desktop, exchanging information with other software can create persistent workflow challenges. QBD Connect provides a foundation for integrations involving systems such as enterprise resource planning, shipping, payroll, and retirement-plan administration.
The aim is to help businesses retain a familiar accounting system while supporting more connected operations around it.
QBD Connect illustrates the company’s broader approach to innovation: identifying a recurring obstacle, understanding its impact on the people doing the work, and building a useful way forward.
CREATING ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO DO MORE
Work Horse Integrations is a certified Woman-Owned Small Business with more than two decades of integration experience. Its perspective is particularly relevant as businesses consider new automation and artificial intelligence tools. Those investments depend on the information and processes beneath them. Disconnected applications and inconsistent handoffs can limit what even sophisticated technology can accomplish.
By addressing those foundations, Work Horse Integrations helps businesses create room for their people to focus on customers, decisions, and growth.
From its Northeast Ohio base, the company contributes a practical perspective to the innovation conversation. Progress can begin with an everyday frustration, a closer look at an overlooked workflow, and a better connection between systems people already use.
