Sinara Connect: Systems Integration

Make the systems you already have work as one

Most trading businesses run on a patchwork of systems — some built in-house, some bought, some inherited — that were never designed to talk to each other. 

Sinara builds the integration that joins them up, so data flows where it needs to, automatically and reliably, across your whole estate.

Connected Trading Operations

A trading estate that finally talks to itself

Systems accumulate over time. 

A platform bought for one desk, a tool built in-house for another, a vendor system inherited through an acquisition — each doing its job well, but none of them joined up. 

The gaps get bridged by spreadsheets, manual re-keying and fragile point fixes that break at the worst moment. 

Sinara replaces that with proper integration: reliable, automated data flows that make your systems work as a whole.

Why Sinara

Integration that holds your operation together

Move data where it needs to be

Pull it from one system, transform it, and push it into the next — trades, positions, prices, reference data, reporting feeds. We build the flows that get the right data to the right place, without anyone having to move it by hand.

In-house and third-party, joined up

Your own systems, vendor platforms, market venues and external services rarely share a common language. We integrate across all of them, so the boundaries between ‘our system’ and ‘their system’ stop mattering.

Retire the spreadsheet bridges

The manual export-here, re-key-there steps that hold your day together are slow, error-prone and risky. We replace them with automated integration you don’t have to think about.                                                                        

Real-time or batch, whatever the job needs

Event-driven flows for things that must happen now, scheduled transfers for things that don’t. We use the right pattern for each interface — APIs, message buses, streaming, file transfer — rather than forcing everything through one.

We speak every protocol

FIX, REST, files, databases, message queues, vendor APIs — we’re  vendor-agnostic by design and connect to whatever you’re running. Where a proven Sinara component fits — such as our FIX engine — we can put it to work driving the integration.

Reconciliation & data quality built in

Connecting two systems isn’t enough if you can’t trust what moves between them. We build integration that validates and reconciles as it goes, so discrepancies surface immediately rather than at quarter-end.          

Engineers who understand the markets

We know what a trade, a position or a settlement message actually means. That domain fluency is the difference between systems that are merely connected and integration that is genuinely correct.                                                                                                                                                                                           

Accelerate with ready-made components (optional)

You don’t have to build every piece from scratch. Where it helps, we can bring in proven building blocks from our Sinara TLC suite — a FIX engine, connectivity and trade-lifecycle components — to speed the work along. Prefer a fully bespoke integration with no Sinara products in it? Entirely your call.

Built to be monitored and supported

Integrations fail quietly — a feed that stops overnight shouldn’t be discovered at 8am. Everything we build is observable and alertable, and we can support and run it for the long term.

Proven Delivery
