Connect Edifact and Epicor

Connecting Edifact and Epicor for a company could enable the transfer of business documents such as orders, invoices, or shipping notices between the two systems. This integration could help reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy, and support more efficient communication between trading partners or internal departments using these platforms.

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

Why connect Edifact and Epicor?

A company operating both Edifact and Epicor could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more reliable and timely data exchange. Without such a connection, staff might need to manually re-enter information from one system into the other, increasing the risk of errors, duplications, and inconsistencies. Over time, records in each system could diverge, making it difficult for management to make decisions based on up-to-date information and potentially causing operational delays or compliance issues. If a connection were established, it could allow for the automated transfer of business documents and transactional data. For example, Edifact is a standard for electronic data interchange (EDI), which is widely used to exchange structured business documents such as orders, invoices, and shipping notices between organizations. Epicor is known as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which is used to manage core business processes such as inventory, procurement, sales, and financials. Connecting these systems could enable data such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notifications, and inventory updates to flow automatically, reducing manual effort and improving data accuracy. The actual data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and 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 Epicor 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.
