Why Connect Basecamp to Front?

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Basecamp and Front aligned

Student enrolment data in Basecamp and billing records in Front are managed separately, causing discrepancies

Basecamp uses a REST API while Front uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Reporting across Basecamp and Front requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

No single source of truth when emails live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Client engagement details in Basecamp and time-tracking data in Front do not align, making billing inaccurate

How We Help

Every week without this integration costs your Professional Services and Education business 8+ hours/week in manual data handling between Basecamp and Front. Our Harvard-educated consultants build a sync that eliminates that waste permanently. On the technical side, Basecamp uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Front authenticates via bearer, which our team handles as part of the build.
