You must be asking about adding product in cart programatically. If so following is answer:

$cart =Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$cart->addProduct($product, array('qty'=>$qty)); 
$cart->save();

Add those code in your Custom Module.

You have to use web services under system->config to link your API.

The API should be programmed to transfer data from the third party system (Your client system) to your magento site database
