COINS ERP Integration Guide
COINS ERP integrations depend on customer-specific APIs or other interfaces that can be confirmed for the deployed edition, modules, and environment.
COINS ERP integration options at a glance
COINS ERP integrations are deployment-specific. A customer-provisioned REST API may be available, but its base URL, object catalog, authentication model, pagination, filtering, and write capabilities must be confirmed with COINS. Webhooks, outbound callbacks, bulk interfaces, file exchange, attachment APIs, SOAP services, and direct database access were not publicly verified and should not be assumed. Once the supported interface is documented, Martini can store environment-specific credentials, call COINS from workflows, schedule incremental synchronization, map construction and financial objects, expose intermediary APIs, and handle validation, retries, reconciliation, and monitoring.

Authentication and security considerations
Confirm the COINS security model
Public authentication documentation for COINS ERP was not verified. Confirm whether the customer environment uses OAuth 2.0, API keys, certificates, Basic Authentication, tenant credentials, role-based scopes, IP allowlisting, VPN access, or private connectivity.
Protect environment-specific credentials
Martini can store confirmed COINS credentials and endpoint settings as environment-specific secrets. Separate test and production credentials should be used where available, with access limited by company, business unit, role, and required object scope.
Minimize sensitive data exposure
- Restrict financial, supplier, project, and employee data to authorized workflows and targets.
- Avoid placing credentials or sensitive payloads in logs.
- Confirm network and certificate requirements with the COINS administrator before deployment.
Operational considerations for COINS ERP integrations
API availability and variation
COINS API availability and object coverage may vary by edition, module, deployment model, country, company, and configuration. Validate the exact specification, field names, identifiers, optional fields, and permissions before building mappings.
Pagination and incremental processing
Confirm page size, cursor or offset behavior, modified-date filters, deletion markers, maximum date ranges, and company or Job filters. Use a persisted high-water mark rather than relying on timestamps with insufficient precision.
Throttling and retries
Public COINS rate limits were not verified. Use configurable pacing, bounded concurrency, and backoff for documented transient responses such as throttling or temporary server errors.
Relationships and idempotency
Preserve relationships between Customers and Projects, Projects and Jobs, Suppliers and Purchase Orders, Purchase Orders and Invoices, and Employees and labor data. Use stable identifiers or pre-write checks to prevent duplicate financial transactions.
Testing and reconciliation
Test with representative company, Project, Job, financial, and workforce data in a non-production environment where possible. Monitor failed payloads and correlation identifiers, while separating validation errors from transport and authentication failures.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Centralize integration logic
Martini provides a maintainable place to orchestrate COINS API calls, scheduling, transformations, validation, target writes, and reconciliation instead of distributing logic across unrelated scripts.
Adapt to customer-specific COINS interfaces
Because COINS capabilities can vary by deployment, Martini workflows can be shaped around the confirmed API, file, callback, or other documented interface without assuming a universal connector or object model.
Improve reliability and control
- Persist checkpoints for incremental synchronization.
- Apply business rules to Projects, Jobs, Purchase Orders, Invoices, and related references.
- Use secure configuration, structured error handling, retries, and monitoring.
- Expose controlled Martini APIs when downstream applications need a stable façade over COINS.
