Connect CommerceTools and IBM AS/400

Connecting CommerceTools and IBM AS/400 for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of transactional data, such as orders and inventory updates, between the e-commerce platform and the enterprise resource planning system. This could support more accurate inventory management, order fulfillment, and reporting by synchronizing relevant business data across both environments.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between CommerceTools and IBM AS/400 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect CommerceTools and IBM AS/400?

A company operating both CommerceTools and IBM AS/400 could benefit from connecting the two systems by enabling data to flow between their e-commerce platform and core business operations. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into both systems, which can result in errors, wasted time, and inconsistencies as records diverge. This lack of synchronization could mean that inventory levels, pricing, or order statuses are not up to date in either system, leading to decisions being made on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as product information, inventory availability, customer records, and order details. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on the features and interfaces provided by each system's API, and would need to be defined for each implementation.

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 CommerceTools and IBM AS/400 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.
