Connect EDI Broker and SolidWorks

Connecting EDI Broker and SolidWorks for a company could enable the transfer of design or engineering data from SolidWorks to processes managed through EDI Broker. This connection could support automated document exchange or data synchronization, potentially reducing manual data entry and improving coordination between engineering and business operations.

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

Why connect EDI Broker and SolidWorks?

A company that uses both EDI Broker and SolidWorks could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between engineering and business operations. Without such a connection, there is a risk that information originating in one system would need to be manually re-entered into the other, increasing the chances of errors, inconsistencies, and delays. For example, engineering teams using SolidWorks to design products may generate specifications or bill of materials that must later be communicated to partners or customers through EDI processes. If this data is not transferred automatically, records could drift apart, and business decisions might be made based on outdated or incomplete information. Companies could use a connection between EDI Broker and SolidWorks to exchange data such as product specifications, part numbers, and design changes, helping to reduce manual work and keep records synchronized. The specific data that can be exchanged, and the extent of automation possible, depends on the capabilities each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each 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 SolidWorks 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.
