Razorpay today launched DataSync, a no-code data integration platform that aims to redefine the way businesses have been traditionally accessing and utilizing critical payment, transaction, refund, chargebacks and settlement data.

According to a recent report by ACI Worldwide, 49% of all real-time transactions worldwide were made in India in 2023. While the world of real-time payments is opening many doors for businesses today, it also presents significant challenges in managing the resulting data such as inaccurate decision-making caused by outdated or incorrect data, leading to flawed strategies and suboptimal choices. Furthermore, operational inefficiencies arise from delayed access to critical transactional data, which impact the finance and accounting department’s ability to perform timely reconciliations and support efficient business operations. These challenges can hinder a business’s agility and competitiveness, potentially resulting in missed opportunities and competitive disadvantages in fast-paced markets.

As India’s First no-code, seamless data integration platform, DataSync will help businesses make faster, data-driven decisions by providing real-time information on transactions, including – settlements, refunds, chargebacks, and reversals with robust security and minimal latency.
