Connect BigCommerce and IBM DB2

Connecting BigCommerce and IBM DB2 for a company could allow automated transfer of e-commerce data, such as orders, inventory, and customer details, into a centralized database. This could support improved reporting, analytics, and business process automation by ensuring that data from online sales is consistently available in the company’s core data infrastructure.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between BigCommerce and IBM DB2 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect BigCommerce and IBM DB2?

A company that operates both BigCommerce and IBM DB2 could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two systems. Such a connection could help reduce manual data entry, which is often required when systems operate independently. Without this connection, staff could spend significant time entering the same information—such as customer details, orders, or inventory levels—into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and inconsistencies. Over time, these discrepancies could lead to records drifting apart, making it difficult to maintain an accurate view of business operations. Decisions based on outdated or mismatched data could affect customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. The kinds of data that could be exchanged between an e-commerce platform like BigCommerce and a database system like IBM DB2 include product catalogs, order information, inventory levels, customer records, and transaction histories. The actual data that can be exchanged would depend on the capabilities each system exposes through its API, and this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 BigCommerce and IBM DB2 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.
