Connect Intershop and IBM AS/400

Connecting Intershop and IBM AS/400 for a company could enable the transfer of data such as inventory levels, order information, and customer records between the e-commerce platform and the enterprise resource planning system. This connection could support more efficient order processing, improved data consistency, and better visibility into business operations across both environments.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Intershop and IBM AS/400 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Intershop and IBM AS/400?

A company operating both Intershop and IBM AS/400 could benefit significantly from enabling data exchange between these systems. Such a connection could help ensure that business processes are more efficient by reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing the risk of human error. Without the ability to synchronize data, companies might face issues such as entering the same information into both systems, leading to wasted effort and inconsistent records. This can result in situations where decisions are made based on outdated or mismatched data, which can negatively affect customer service, inventory management, and financial reporting. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of information such as product details, order statuses, inventory levels, and customer records. Exchanging this kind of data could help keep both systems aligned, supporting accurate reporting and timely business operations. The specific data that could be shared would depend on the functionality and data structures of each system. Ultimately, what can actually be exchanged is determined by what each system exposes through its API and must be defined for each individual case.

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 Intershop and IBM AS/400 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.
