Desenvolvimento de uma web api de integração de pagamentos entre o sistema de gestão empresarial PHC e sistemas bancários de pagamentos: 2BUSINESS, SA

Abstract

This report is the result of a professional internship at 2Business, SA, focusing on the theme "Development of a Web API for Integration between PHC ERP and Banking Payment Systems." 2Business, a company specialized in implementing PHC ERP, identified a growing demand for ERP integrations with banking systems to automate the payment process. In the Mozambican context, where PHC lacks a native banking integration solution, the company decided to develop a Web API to enable seamless connectivity with various banking payment systems. A comparative analysis of global solutions was conducted to identify their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations, providing a solid foundation for designing a comprehensive integration solution. The case study was applied at Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (CFM), a client of 2Business. After implementation, a significant improvement in the company's financial efficiency was observed, highlighting the benefits of automation and financial integration. The research methodology combined both quantitative and qualitative approaches, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of requirements and challenges. For the development phase, the waterfall methodology was adopted, organizing the project into sequential stage requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance—ensuring each phase was completed before moving to the next. This approach enabled the development of an adaptable API, minimizing the need for adjustments for each new bank the client works with, given that each integration requires specific agreements between the bank and the client.
