Brightspot decreases integration build time by 99% with Zapier

The problem

Building a single third-party integration required two to three months of development and tens of thousands of dollars; strict access control over automated workflows was needed to keep customer data secure and segmented; and any change to a coded integration required developer hours that could take months to become available.
