The challenge

Enterprise clients at Hootsuite's scale have needs that go far beyond the standard product. They have existing CRM systems, internal approval workflows, compliance requirements, and reporting pipelines that need to talk to Hootsuite's platform — and off-the-shelf connectors don't cut it. Hootsuite needed a trusted engineering partner capable of building reliable, secure, maintainable integrations for their most demanding clients, without the overhead of hiring and managing internal headcount for every custom engagement.

What we built

We've served as Hootsuite's external engineering team for custom enterprise work since 2022. Each engagement is different: some involve building OAuth-authenticated integrations between Hootsuite's API and enterprise CRMs like Salesforce; others involve custom React applications embedded in the Hootsuite dashboard, tailored to a specific enterprise client's approval or reporting workflow. We work directly with Hootsuite's product and account teams to scope, build, and deliver — operating as an extension of their engineering org rather than a traditional vendor.

About the project

Hootsuite is the world's leading social media management platform, trusted by over 25 million users. Since 2022, we've partnered with Hootsuite to build custom integrations and bespoke applications for their enterprise client base — connecting Hootsuite's platform to proprietary enterprise systems, building internal tooling, and delivering tailored solutions that enterprise teams can't get off the shelf.

What we delivered

  • Custom enterprise integrations — connecting Hootsuite to client CRMs and internal systems
  • Bespoke React applications embedded in the Hootsuite platform
  • OAuth 2.0 authentication flows for secure enterprise data exchange
  • Ongoing enterprise client delivery partnership since 2022

How we worked

01

Requirements & Scoping

Worked with Hootsuite's account team to define integration scope, map API capabilities and enterprise system endpoints, and produce a technical spec before writing any code.

02

Development & Testing

Built integrations iteratively with full test coverage, using sandbox environments for the enterprise system APIs before connecting to production.

03

Security Review

Ran OAuth flows, credential storage, and data handling through a security review, ensuring compliance with Hootsuite's enterprise security standards and client data agreements.

04

Delivery & Handoff

Delivered working integrations to the Hootsuite team with full documentation, runbooks, and handoff sessions — ready for the client's own team to operate.

Outcome

Ongoing enterprise engineering partnership — trusted team for Hootsuite's most demanding client work
