RUBIXX and SIMPRO
Benefits Included
Implementing this automation system significantly reduced costs compared to managing the contract with a dedicated team. By automating the entire process, we avoided the need for a full-time team to handle routine tasks, which led to substantial savings. Additionally, automation eliminated human errors that often occur in manual processes. Humans, being susceptible to fatigue and oversight, can introduce mistakes into the system, but machines operate with consistent accuracy and reliability. This not only improved the quality of our work but also reduced the need for time-consuming error corrections. Furthermore, the system's automation capabilities enhanced efficiency by speeding up data processing and report generation, which allowed for quicker decision-making and more responsive operations. Overall, the integration led to a more streamlined workflow, reduced operational overhead, and a significant increase in productivity and reliability.
What Was The Aim?
I was tasked with developing a reliable integration system between Rubixx and SimPro. The goal was to automate the exchange of information between the two platforms to streamline job management. This involved designing a system that could receive work orders from Rubixx and accurately create corresponding job entries in SimPRO. Additionally, I utilised SimPRO's webhooks to monitor job progress, ensuring that updates such as job milestones and engineer assignments were tracked and communicated back to Rubixx. This integration aimed to reduce manual data entry, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure that both systems remained synchronised with the latest job information.

API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. It acts as a gateway for backend services and facilitates the integration of front-end applications with backend systems, including microservices and serverless architectures. API Gateway supports RESTful APIs and WebSocket APIs, allowing you to build flexible and scalable APIs.
DynamoDB
Amazon DynamoDB is a fast, flexible NoSQL database service that provides consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale. It is a fully managed database that supports both key-value and document data models, offering built-in security, continuous backups, automated scaling, and in-memory caching with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX). DynamoDB is designed to handle large-scale, high-performance workloads and is ideal for applications requiring low-latency data access.
Lambda
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You can trigger Lambda functions in response to events such as changes in data or system state, HTTP requests via API Gateway, or scheduled tasks. Lambda automatically scales and manages the infrastructure required to run your code, enabling you to focus solely on writing and deploying your application logic.
SQS Queue
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS allows you to send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, providing reliable and scalable communication between different parts of your system. It supports both standard queues for high-throughput applications and FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queues for message order and exactly-once processing.
