Do I need a developer to set this up?

Yes, setting up a new API integration requires a developer or a technically proficient person to write the script that calls the data from our platform and directs it into your target system. However, the Augos API is built on standard REST principles for ease of use.

What data is available via the API?

The API provides access to virtually all raw and calculated data points in the platform. This includes tenant consumption (kWh, kL), calculated costs, P&L data, tariff details, meter readings, and more. Data can be called for any time period at up to 1-minute granularity.

Can you connect to our custom, in-house built ERP?

Yes. Because our API is built on modern, standardized technology, any external system that can make standard web requests can integrate with it. As long as your in-house system has an open API, a connection can be built.

Is the API connection secure?

Yes. Access to the API is protected by secure authentication keys, ensuring that only your authorized systems can access your data. All data is transmitted over encrypted channels.

How long does a typical integration project take?

This depends on the complexity of the goal. A simple integration, like sending monthly billing totals to an accounting package, can often be completed by an experienced developer in just a few days.

Integrate Billing Data with Your Key Systems

Eliminate manual reporting and improve rent roll accuracy. This page details our Custom Integrations and API feature. Connect the Augos platform to your existing property management systems (MDA, Xero, Sage, ERP) for a seamless, automated flow of tenant billing data.

The Purpose: Automating Your Financial Workflow

Custom Integrations allow you to connect the Augos Tenant Billing platform to the software your property business already runs on. Using our API, you can create an automated flow of billing data between Augos and your key platforms, such as MDA Property Manager, Xero, or your central accounting ERP.

Automate Your Rent Roll Process

The primary benefit is eliminating manual work. Stop wasting hours downloading CSVs of tenant utility charges and re-uploading them into your accounting software to be added to the rent roll. An API integration automates this entire process.

Improve Financial Accuracy & Decision-Making

By removing the manual "copy and paste" step, you eliminate the risk of human error in your financial reporting. Feeding live, accurate utility data directly into your core systems also enables more accurate budgeting, forecasting, and strategic decision-making.

Localized Fact: Leading property groups in South Africa are increasingly adopting a "best-of-breed" software strategy, choosing specialized platforms like Augos for utility management and integrating them with their central ERP or property management system like MDA Property Manager to build a single, powerful source of truth.

The Process for Setting Up a Custom Integration

Our integration process is designed to be straightforward for your technical team.

Define Your Goal

First, we work with you to define the objective (e.g., "Automate the sending of monthly tenant billing totals from Augos to our Xero accounting system").

Generate a Secure API Key

The Augos platform provides you with a unique, secure API key that grants access to your data.

Develop the Connection

Your developer writes scripts to pull the required data points (e.g., tenant billing amounts, P&L data) from the Augos API and feeds them into your target system.

Utilise Our Developer Support

Our in-house technical team is available to provide documentation and support to your developers throughout the integration process.
