SunSystems Cloud introduces a significant step forward in how finance teams manage and process data.
As organisations shift away from legacy systems and direct database access, cloud-based systems such as SunSystems Cloud offer security, scalability, and agility.
But what happens when you need to automate finance processes or integrate multiple systems?
This is where UniFi plays a central role.
Why SunSystems Cloud Requires a Different Approach
Are you currently connecting to SunSystems API using a third-party application?
If so, it is likely that you are connected to SunSystems using its underlying database. With the launch of SunSystems cloud, all direct database connections will close, which means your third-party application may no longer be able to connect to SunSystems.
Your third-party application may have to be re-developed to connect to SunSystems API as opposed to direct database access.
The good news is that UniFi has been written from the ground up to connect to SunSystems using best practice, with a secure and future-proofed API integration.
UniFi always uses the official API for each product to ensure continual support and operations.
How UniFi Works with SunSystems Cloud
UniFi is designed to integrate seamlessly with SunSystems Cloud using the official API.
It does not require any workaround or manual coding. This ensures long-term stability and compatibility as the SunSystems platform continues to evolve.
Through this integration, UniFi enables you to automate a wide range of finance tasks, including:
- Starting and submitting transactions
- Creating or updating reference data
- Reading transaction details and metadata
- Fetching reference data dynamically for use in other applications
UniFi can automate data extraction, transformation, and loading, ensuring seamless data movement between SunSystems Cloud and other core business systems. It can also capture data from diverse sources and deliver it in a ready-to-use format, streamlining workflows.
This makes it easier to connect SunSystems Cloud with the rest of your finance technology stack—without rewriting systems or depending on outdated methods.
Automate End-to-End Processes
By integrating SunSystems Cloud with UniFi, you can build secure and automated processes across purchase-to-pay, employee expenses, and financial reporting.
For example, UniFi can:
- Trigger approval workflows automatically
- Post approved journals into SunSystems
- Synchronise supplier data between systems
- Push and pull forecast figures into reporting dashboards
UniFi’s Data Connectors simplify how you move and transform data. They support common formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, and fixed-width text.
You can also reshape data—converting formats, splitting or combining records, or transforming the structure entirely—based on the needs of each system.
This level of control is not common in other integration tools, which often fall short when handling specific finance requirements such as double-entry bookkeeping or audit trail integrity.
With UniFi, you also gain flexibility to integrate SunSystems with your CRM, HR, or ERP tools, using a consistent and supported method.
This lets you automate your finance processes while maintaining data integrity across all your systems.
Preparing for the Move to SunSystems Cloud
If you are planning a move to SunSystems Cloud, consider reviewing your existing third-party tools and integrations.
Many of them may rely on legacy database access that will no longer be available. Migrating to cloud-compatible tools like UniFi removes this risk and helps future-proof your processes.
SunSystems Cloud brings a modern, secure foundation for finance operations.
With UniFi, you can extend that foundation to automate workflows and connect your data with minimal effort.
