Connect Edifact and Cloudfy

Connecting Edifact and Cloudfy for a company could enable the transfer of standardized electronic data, such as orders or invoices, between supply chain partners and an e-commerce platform. This connection could reduce manual data entry and support more accurate and timely information exchange across business processes that rely on both systems.

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

Why connect Edifact and Cloudfy?

A company that operates both Edifact and Cloudfy could benefit from connecting these two systems by enabling automated data exchange. This connection could help prevent issues such as duplicate data entry, where staff are required to manually input the same information into both systems, increasing the risk of human error and consuming unnecessary resources. Without a connection, records in each system could gradually diverge, leading to discrepancies that make it difficult for teams to rely on either system for accurate, up-to-date information. This misalignment could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, which could negatively affect operations, customer service, and financial reporting. If the systems were connected, the types of data exchanged would depend on the core functions of each. Edifact is widely known as a standard for electronic data interchange (EDI), often used for exchanging structured business documents such as orders, invoices, and shipping notices. Cloudfy is recognized as a B2B eCommerce platform, so relevant data could include product catalogs, pricing, customer records, order details, and inventory levels. The purpose of connecting these systems could be to ensure that information such as orders placed online are automatically reflected in back-office processes and that inventory or order status updates are consistent across both platforms. The actual scope of data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system exposes through its API, and this is 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 Cloudfy 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.
