If you’ve ever rolled out a new system only to realise it doesn’t “talk” to anything else in your business, you’ll know how painful integrations can be. Suddenly you’re double-entering data, chasing mismatched numbers, and wondering why technology that promised to save time is doing the exact opposite… and giving you a headache in the process.
Velocity was built to avoid that situation. Integrations aren’t messily bolted on later, instead they’re part of the foundation. Whether a business is running mainstream accounting software, selling online, managing production, or working with specialist industry tools, Velocity is designed to slot into the existing setup rather than replace it.
Here’s a closer look at what Velocity integrates with, and why it matters far more than most people expect.
Accounting integrations
Accounting is where everything eventually lands. If operational systems don’t align properly with finance, errors build up quickly and usually show themselves at the worst possible time, month end.
Velocity integrates with a wide range of accounting software, including:
- QuickBooks
- Xero
- FreeAgent
- Sage (Line 50 and Business Cloud)
- Big Red Cloud
- Big Red Book
- Acumen
- Pegasus Opera
These integrations allow invoices, credits, payments, and customer records to move between systems automatically. That means no rekeying, no duplicate records, and no chasing down mismatched figures at reconciliation time.
The real benefit here isn’t just time saved. It’s confidence. Finance teams are working with accurate, up-to-date data. Operational teams can trust that what they see on screen reflects what’s actually happening in the business. That clarity reduces errors, speeds up reporting, and helps decision-making stay grounded in reality.
What also sets this apart is the support for specialist accounting platforms used in niche industries. Many businesses in food, farming, and manufacturing rely on tools that aren’t widely supported by typical ERP systems. Velocity fills that gap.
e-commerce integrations
Selling online is straightforward. Managing online orders across stock, pricing, accounts, and fulfilment is where things usually unravel.
Velocity integrates directly with:
- Shopify
- WooCommerce
These integrations provide full product syncing, live pricing alignment, and automated order processing. When an order is placed online, it drops straight into Velocity, so stock levels update automatically, and pricing remains consistent across channels.
There’s no need for manual uploads, no exporting spreadsheets, and no re-entering orders into internal systems. That doesn’t just save time, it removes one of the biggest sources of human error in online trading.
Another major advantage is speed. Businesses don’t need to build custom e-commerce websites from scratch. They can go live quickly using Shopify or WooCommerce while Velocity handles all the operational logic behind the scenes. It allows teams to focus on selling while keeping control of inventory, pricing, and fulfilment in one place.
OrderPoint: Direct B2B ordering
B2B ordering often happens through a patchwork of calls, emails, texts, and spreadsheets. That may seem manageable at first, but it quickly becomes a bottleneck as volume grows.
Velocity’s OrderPoint platform was built specifically for this environment.
It gives trade customers a dedicated ordering portal where they can:
- Log in securely
- View their own pricing
- Select delivery dates
- Place orders directly against live stock
Because OrderPoint is fully embedded within Velocity, everything stays aligned instantly. Orders don’t need to be transferred between systems, stock updates in real time, and the warehouse sees exactly what’s coming in without any delays.
For internal teams, this cuts down admin dramatically. There’re fewer order errors, less back-and-forth with customers and less rework. For customers, it creates a cleaner, faster ordering experience they can rely on.
POS, hardware, and production integrations
Many businesses operate in physical environments where software meets equipment. For those businesses, integrations need to go beyond screens and dashboards.
Velocity integrates with:
- Avery Berkel scales
- Edge POS systems
- E-sell electronic shelf labels
These connections keep prices, weights, and stock levels accurate across shop floors and warehouses. Instead of relying on manual updates or end-of-day syncing, everything stays aligned continuously. Pricing changes in the system flow straight through to shelf labels and sales at POS feed directly back into stock.
Velocity also integrates with recipe and formulation machines used in production. This links live production data to recipes, batching, and traceability records. The result is tighter control, fewer mistakes, stronger audit trails, and greater product consistency across every batch produced.
Built for the future
Businesses don’t stay static. They add sales channels, expand into new markets, invest in new equipment, and adapt to changing regulations. Software that can’t evolve quickly becomes a limiting factor.
Velocity is designed to stay flexible. Hundreds of customer-driven feature and integration requests are actively logged and used to guide system development. That means the platform grows in step with how real businesses operate, rather than forcing them into fixed workflows.
This approach protects long-term investment. Instead of replacing core systems every few years, businesses can continuously build on what they already have.
How to make better use of Velocity integrations
For businesses already using Velocity (or considering it) there are a few practical ways to get more value from the integration ecosystem:
Audit your current systems
List all tools across finance, sales, stock, production, and dispatch. Any place where data is being moved manually is a potential integration win.
Move B2B customers to self-service ordering
If most orders are still arriving by phone or email, a direct ordering platform can remove friction on both sides.
Don’t assume specialist tools are unsupported
Niche software is often already integrated, and if it isn’t, there may already be work underway. We also have a dedicated support team who are happy to listen and pass on suggestions directly to our developers!
Think about the next phase of growth
The right integrations now will prevent major system changes later.
Final thoughts
Integrations rarely get much attention when software is being chosen, but they are usually the reason one system becomes indispensable while another becomes a constant source of frustration. Velocity’s strength lies in how deeply it connects with the tools businesses already use; across finance, e-commerce, ordering, in-store systems, and production.
