Connect amazon and Edifact

Connecting amazon and Edifact for a company would involve enabling the transfer of order, inventory, and shipping data between the two platforms. This could support more automated order processing, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual entry by allowing business documents to be exchanged in a standardized electronic format.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between amazon and Edifact around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect amazon and Edifact?

A company that uses both Amazon and Edifact systems could benefit from enabling data exchange between them to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort. If these systems do not communicate directly, staff may need to enter the same information in both places, increasing the risk of errors and inconsistencies. For instance, order details or inventory updates might be recorded in one system but not the other, leading to discrepancies over time. This can result in records drifting apart, with each system reflecting different versions of the truth. As a consequence, business decisions might be made based on outdated or incomplete information, affecting customer satisfaction and financial accuracy. The types of data that could be exchanged between Amazon and Edifact systems depend on their roles. For example, if Amazon is used as a sales channel and Edifact is used for electronic data interchange, a connection could allow for the transfer of order information, shipping notifications, inventory levels, and invoicing data. The actual data that can be shared depends on the capabilities each system offers through its API and would need to be determined for each specific case.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what amazon and Edifact make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
