Vapi Integration in Durham
Connecting Vapi agents to the systems behind them for Durham organisations, where every lookup happens while somebody is waiting on the phone. A CRM query that takes three seconds is three seconds of silence, so integrations for voice have to be designed around the call rather than treated as ordinary API work.
Why this comes up
The problem
The agent checks the booking system mid-call, the caller hears nothing for four seconds, and they hang up.
What you get
What we deliver
- Lookups kept fast, with slow systems fronted by something that is not
- Holding speech while a longer operation runs, rather than silence
- Timeouts on every call-time integration, with a defined fallback
- Actions with consequences confirmed with the caller before they are taken
- Call outcome and transcript written back to the system of record
- Failures handled in a way the caller understands, not an apology loop

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Vapi Integration in Durham — common questions
- What if the underlying system is slow?
- Put something faster in front of it. A cached or pre-computed view answers in milliseconds where a legacy query takes seconds, and for the common lookups — availability, account status, order state — that is usually achievable without changing the source system.
- How should a longer operation be handled?
- Say something. A short acknowledgement while the work happens keeps the call natural, whereas silence reads as a fault. What matters is that the filler is honest and brief rather than a stalling phrase repeated every time.
- Should the agent be allowed to make changes?
- With confirmation, and within limits. Booking, cancelling or amending on the caller's behalf is where the value is, and each should be read back before it is committed — because a misheard date acted on silently is worse than not offering the capability.
- What should be written back after the call?
- Outcome, transcript and any action taken, against the customer record. Voice agents that handle calls without leaving a trace produce a support team with no idea what customers were told, which undoes much of the benefit.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
