Northvane Retail
Partner API platform
Challenge
The problem
Northvane wanted to open their product catalogue and inventory data to marketplace partners, but their internal APIs were inconsistent, undocumented and tightly coupled to their monolith. Partners were spending weeks trying to integrate, and half gave up.
Solution
What we built
We designed a clean, versioned REST API from scratch using a contract-first approach. OpenAPI spec reviewed by the five largest partners before implementation. Auto-generated SDKs in Python, JavaScript and PHP. Interactive documentation with a sandbox environment. Rate limiting, OAuth 2.0 authentication and usage analytics built in.

Tools used
“Our partners used to take weeks to integrate. With the new API, the median is six hours. LaxenTech understood that API design is product design.”
