Manage your business once. Keep it connected everywhere local.
Integrations
ONE RECORD. MULTIPLE DELIVERY MODELS.
Business information does not have to reach every destination the same way. One Local Platform is designed to eventually coordinate information across several delivery architectures — dynamic today, future synchronized, and independent.
No synchronized marketplace connectors are currently active.
There is nothing to synchronise, retry or reconnect. Connected surfaces read the authoritative record directly, so they are always current without a transfer step.
DELIVERY MODELS
Each model is labelled with what is true today. Only Connected Surfaces are available.
- Available
Connected Surfaces
Destinations using the shared Business Record architecture can dynamically display current authoritative information.
- How information moves
- The destination reads the authoritative record at the moment a page is shown.
- Where it is stored
- No separate copy. The shared record is the only stored version.
- Future Integration
Synced Destinations
Independent systems may eventually connect through authenticated APIs or connectors and maintain synchronized representations of selected Business Record fields.
- How information moves
- A future authenticated connector would send selected fields and wait for the destination to acknowledge them.
- Where it is stored
- The destination would keep its own database and its own listing.
- Independent
Independent Marketplaces
Independent marketplaces can remain part of One Local Network without surrendering their own databases, listings or marketplace functionality.
- How information moves
- No information passes between the Business Record and the marketplace.
- Where it is stored
- Entirely their own: own database, own listings, own users, own content.
99 independent marketplaces are part of the wider network. 0 synchronized connectors are active.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Central authority without centralizing everything: one authoritative Business Record, many independent destination systems.
- ONE BUSINESS
The business as it exists in the real world.
- ONE BUSINESS RECORD
The single authoritative record.
- ONE LOCAL PLATFORM
Manage, verify, publish, distribute.
- ONE LOCAL GRID
Geography, categories, eligibility, destinations.
- ONE LOCAL NETWORK
Every participant in the network.

UPDATE ONCE
One Business Record, two possible distribution paths. Only the first one runs today.

CONNECTORS
Connect without collapsing the network. An independent marketplace should not have to become a clone of a centrally controlled surface to share a Business Record. These are the kinds of system a future connector could address — none of them are connected.

The architecture is described by system type, never by vendor. No third-party platform is named as integrated.
INTEGRATION PRINCIPLES
Central Authority
One Business Record can remain authoritative for approved shared business fields.
Local Independence
Connected third-party or independent destinations can retain their own database and local functionality.
Selective Synchronization
Only explicitly mapped fields need to synchronize.
Local Extension
Destination-specific data can remain local.
Verified Delivery
Future synchronization should distinguish a request sent from a destination acknowledged.
No Database Replacement
Integration should not require replacing the destination's database.
BUILD WITH ONE LOCAL INTERNET
Future integrations can connect independent marketplaces, directories, publishers and business platforms to the One Business Record architecture while allowing each system to retain its own database and local functionality.
