Connecting systems across the global supply chain

EDI & Integration Services provides the digital connections that enable business applications, customers, and trading partners to exchange information securely and efficiently.

These integrations help automate information flows across supply chain processes, reduce manual effort, and improve the consistency and availability of business-critical data.

A broad range of industries and internationally recognized companies rely on these capabilities to connect enterprise resource planning, transport management, warehouse management, and other business-critical systems across their supply chain ecosystem.

Integration at global scale

More than 660 B2B customer integrations are managed worldwide, alongside approximately 100 Enterprise Application Integration interfaces connecting business-critical systems and processes.

A dedicated team of 22 integration specialists brings together expertise in consulting, solution design, architecture, implementation, and operational support. This combination enables the delivery and ongoing support of integration scenarios ranging from standardized EDI connections to highly complex enterprise connectivity solutions.

This scale and expertise make it possible to deliver and operate integrations reliably across regions, system landscapes, and varying levels of technical complexity.

Flexible integration across business systems

Different organizations and system landscapes require different ways of exchanging information. Integration capabilities therefore range from established EDI connections and secure file transfers to real-time API-based communication.

Hybrid integration models allow multiple communication methods to coexist where business or technical requirements demand it. This flexibility makes it possible to connect established enterprise systems and modern digital platforms without forcing every integration into the same technical model.

Technology behind the integrations

A global integration platform based on IBM webMethods provides the technological foundation for reliable and scalable connectivity across customers, partners, and business systems.

A broad range of industry-standard and customer-specific data formats can be processed, including EDIFACT, ANSI X12, VDA, XML, JSON, delimited and fixed-length flat files, and binary exchanges such as document transfers.

This broad compatibility enables integrations across diverse technical environments while supporting both established enterprise systems and modern digital applications.

Security at the core

Business-critical integration requires information to move securely between systems, organizations, and geographic locations. Security is therefore embedded throughout the integration landscape.

Secure communication channels, encrypted data transfer, digital signatures, and established technologies such as SSL/TLS, AES, RSA, and secure hashing help protect sensitive information throughout the exchange process.

This approach helps safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of business-critical data while supporting dependable information exchange across global operations.
