Connect EDI Broker and OrderActive

Connecting EDI Broker and OrderActive for a company would involve developing a way for data to move automatically between the two platforms. This could allow information such as orders, shipments, or invoices to be exchanged without manual entry, supporting more efficient business processes and reducing the risk of errors from duplicate data handling.

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

Why connect EDI Broker and OrderActive?

A company operating both EDI Broker and OrderActive could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data. Without such a connection, staff may have to enter the same information in both systems, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and inconsistencies. For example, if order details or inventory figures are updated in one system but not the other, the two sets of records could drift apart. This discrepancy may result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, affecting customer service and operational efficiency. If a connection were established, it could enable the automatic transfer of key data between the two systems. Common types of data exchanged between systems in this context can include orders, inventory updates, shipment notifications, and invoice details. Automating these exchanges could reduce manual entry and the risk of mismatched records. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per 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 EDI Broker and OrderActive 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.
