Connect cXML and Litium

Connecting cXML and Litium could enable a company to automate the exchange of procurement documents between its e-commerce platform and external suppliers or buyers. Such a connection could support electronic order placement, invoice management, and catalog updates, reducing manual data entry and improving the accuracy and speed of business transactions.

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

Why connect cXML and Litium?

A company operating both cXML and Litium could benefit from connecting these systems to enable automated data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information into both platforms, which can increase the risk of errors and consume unnecessary time. Manual processes can also result in records diverging between systems, leading to inconsistencies that undermine reporting accuracy and operational efficiency. Decisions made using outdated or incomplete information could negatively affect customer service, inventory management, or financial planning. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the core functions of each system. For example, cXML is widely recognized as a protocol for the communication of procurement-related documents such as purchase orders and invoices, while Litium is known as an e-commerce platform. Data that could potentially be exchanged might include order details, product information, inventory levels, customer records, and invoice data. The specific data points and workflows that could be automated would depend on the capabilities and data structures of each system. Ultimately, what can be exchanged is determined by the features exposed through the API of each system and must be addressed for each unique situation.

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 cXML and Litium 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.
