Connect EDI Broker and katana

Connecting EDI Broker and Katana could allow a company to transfer order, inventory, or production data between the two systems. This connection could help reduce manual data entry and support more accurate and timely information sharing across procurement, manufacturing, and fulfillment processes.

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

Why connect EDI Broker and katana?

A company operating both an EDI Broker and Katana could benefit from connecting these systems to enable automated data exchange. Without such a connection, staff might need to manually transfer information between the two, which can result in duplicate data entry, inconsistencies between records, and the risk of making decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. Manual processes also increase the workload and the potential for human error, which can disrupt operations and reduce efficiency. If a connection were established, it could allow the transfer of data such as sales orders, purchase orders, inventory levels, and shipping confirmations. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the most current information, supporting more accurate planning and fulfillment processes. The specific data exchanged would depend on the capabilities and business functions of each system. What can actually be exchanged is determined by what each system exposes through its API, and must be defined for each situation individually.

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 EDI Broker and katana 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.
