Connect Expandable and InRiver

Connecting Expandable and InRiver for a company could enable data to be shared between enterprise resource planning and product information management functions. This connection could support more accurate product data updates, improve coordination between inventory and marketing teams, and reduce manual data entry by allowing relevant information to flow between the two systems.

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

Why connect Expandable and InRiver?

A company that uses both Expandable and InRiver could benefit from connecting these systems so that information flows automatically between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same data in both systems, which increases the risk of mistakes and wastes time. Over time, records in each system could diverge, leading to inconsistencies that make it harder to trust the data. This could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, especially if updates in one system are not reflected in the other. If a connection were established, the company could set it up so that certain types of data are exchanged between Expandable and InRiver. For example, product information, descriptions, specifications, and pricing details are common candidates for exchange between ERP and product information management platforms. This could help ensure that both systems are working with the same, up-to-date data, reducing the need for manual updates and minimizing errors. However, the exact data that can be shared would depend entirely on what each system makes available through its API, and would need to be determined for each specific implementation.

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 Expandable and InRiver 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.
