The co-founder of Providence, R.I.-based BatchBlue Inc. has helped launch a web service called the Small Business Web — a collection of integrated web services that is open to any company with a publicly available application programming interface.

The Small Business Web (thesmallbusinessweb.com) has let BatchBlue — with eight full-time employees — mash up its social customer relationship management (CRM) software with an e-mail marketing platform and an invoice management application...

...In April, British on-demand printer Moo Print Ltd., which earlier this year opened an East Providence facility for printing its trendy business cards and marketing materials, joined the Small Business Web.

“From our perspective it’s a great way to find new customers,” said Lisa Rodwell, vice president of marketing and product.
