Connect Edifact and Orderwise

Connecting Edifact and Orderwise for a company running both could enable the transfer of structured business documents, such as orders or invoices, between the systems. This integration would involve mapping data formats, establishing secure communication protocols, and ensuring that information flows accurately between Edifact’s standardized messages and Orderwise’s business management functions.

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

Why connect Edifact and Orderwise?

A company that operates both Edifact and Orderwise could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the exchange of business data. Such a connection could help streamline operations by reducing the need for manual data entry between the two platforms. Without this link, staff may need to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and inconsistencies. Over time, records in each system could diverge, leading to discrepancies in inventory levels, order statuses, or financial figures. These discrepancies could result in decisions being made based on outdated or inaccurate data, which can harm customer satisfaction and business performance. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of transactional data, such as purchase orders, invoices, stock movements, and customer or supplier details. This could support more accurate record-keeping and faster response times to business events. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on the capabilities and data structures of Edifact and Orderwise, as well as what each system allows through its API. The actual scope of integration is determined on a case-by-case basis, according to what each system exposes and the needs of the company.

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 Orderwise 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.
