Connect Edifact and Centric

Connecting Edifact and Centric for a company would involve establishing a data exchange framework between the two systems. This could enable automated transfer of structured business documents, such as orders or invoices, improving data consistency and reducing manual entry. The integration process would need to address data mapping, security, and compliance requirements specific to both platforms.

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

Why connect Edifact and Centric?

A company using both Edifact and Centric could benefit from connecting these systems to enable automatic data exchange between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information twice, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. Over time, records in each system could diverge, leading to inconsistencies that make it difficult to maintain accurate, up-to-date information across the business. This situation could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, which could impact operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of information such as orders, invoices, inventory levels, or customer details, depending on the business processes involved and the capabilities of each system. The specific types of data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system makes available through its API and would need to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Edifact and Centric 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.
