This creates problems: * Stale information leads to wrong decisions * Sync delays cause inventory mismatches * Storage of customer data raises security concerns **Handled connects directly to each service in real-time.** When you request data, we fetch it live. No caching, no delays, no stored customer data. ## Commerce-First Design We built Handled specifically for commerce and supply chain: * Pre-built models for orders, inventory, shipments, and fulfillments * Native support for WMS, ecommerce, and carrier workflows * Data mappings designed for supply chain use cases ## Declarative Configuration Add integrations without writing code. Our configuration system lets you: * Define custom data mappings * Set up authentication flows * Configure sync schedules * Create custom resources ## Full API Access Two ways to access your data: Consistent data format across all integrations. One schema for orders whether they come from Shopify, Amazon, or Walmart. Raw access to underlying services when you need platform-specific features. ## Built-In Sync Engine RapidBridge handles the hard parts of data synchronization: * Automatic scheduling (cron-based or on-demand) * Rate limit management across all services * Incremental syncs to minimize API calls * Webhook delivery with retry logic ## Embedded Customer Onboarding Let your customers connect their own accounts: * Pre-built UI for account connection * Support for OAuth, API keys, and custom auth * Customizable branding and flow * SDK for embedding in your application
