Why Connect Fergus to Make?

Fergus limitations compound the integration challenge: integration ecosystem is limited primarily to accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) with fewer connections to other business tools

Site crews rely on Fergus while the office uses Make, so neither team sees the full picture until end of day

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

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

Reporting across Fergus and Make requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Job scheduling in Fergus and invoicing in Make are disconnected, delaying payments for completed work

Manually copying data between Fergus and Make wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

How We Help

For Trades & Construction and Professional Services businesses across Australia, the disconnect between Fergus and Make is a daily frustration. Our custom integration bridges your industry tools and automation systems, ensuring jobs and quotes flow seamlessly without manual intervention. On the technical side, Fergus uses a REST API with API key authentication, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unlock Make Value
