Softledger, a cloud-based accounting platform, provides multi-entity companies with real-time financial visibility, automated consolidations, multi-currency management, and seamless integrations with other business systems. With a robust API that empowers developers and partners, Softledger continually seeks to improve integrations and customer onboarding. To keep pace with rapid API changes and support multiple programming languages, Softledger partnered with liblab for effortless, automated SDK generation.

After testing various SDK generators, we finally found the perfect fit \- liblab. Their solution transformed our API integration process, delivering SDKs of exceptional quality that truly looked hand-crafted. The robust support and customization options allowed us to tailor the tools to our unique API requirements, dramatically improving both our development efficiency and our clients' integration experience.

By Using liblab, Softledger:

• Reduced SDK development and maintenance time by 90%
• Increased user adoption rates by 60%
• Enhanced developer documentation with automatically generated code snippets
• Started leveraging the generated SDKs internally, improving their own development efficiency
• Automated SDK updates to stay synchronized with API changes
• Significantly reduced operational costs associated with manual SDK maintenance

Softledger's cloud accounting platform relies heavily on a robust API that allows businesses to integrate financial data with their existing systems. As their customer base grew, so did the diversity of technical environments needing to connect with their platform. Providing reliable, easy-to-use SDKs across multiple programming languages became essential to maintaining a competitive advantage and ensuring smooth client onboarding.

Initially, Softledger experimented with several SDK generation services but encountered significant challenges. The generated code frequently contained errors requiring extensive manual corrections, undermining their clients' trust in the integration tools. Poor code quality created a suboptimal developer experience, while limited customization options made it impossible to accommodate Softledger's unique API structure.

These inefficiencies not only delayed client integrations but also consumed valuable internal resources that could have been spent on core product innovations. With API adoption stagnating as a result of these issues, Softledger knew they needed a better solution.

The Search for an Optimal Solution

Determined to overcome these obstacles, Softledger's engineering team conducted a thorough evaluation of alternative SDK generation tools. Their requirements were clear: they needed a solution that produced consistently high-quality SDKs across multiple languages, offered extensive customization capabilities, and provided responsive technical support when needed.

After testing various SDK generators, they finally found the perfect fit — liblab. It stood out because of its seamless integration, robust feature set, and exceptional developer experience. Unlike other solutions that required extensive manual tweaking or lacked support for their tech stack, liblab provided a smooth, automated process that saved them time and effort. Its well-documented API, multi-language support, and reliable performance made it the clear choice for their needs.
