Connect Magento and IBM AS/400

Connecting Magento and IBM AS/400 for a company would involve establishing secure data exchange between the e-commerce platform and the legacy enterprise system. Such a connection could enable order information, inventory levels, and customer data from Magento to be shared with IBM AS/400, supporting more accurate inventory management and streamlined order processing.

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

Why connect Magento and IBM AS/400?

A company operating both Magento and IBM AS/400 could consider connecting these systems to allow data to move between their e-commerce and enterprise resource planning functions. Such a connection could help the business avoid the need for manual data entry in both systems, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. Without a link, there is a risk that product, order, or inventory data could be entered differently in each system, leading to records that do not match and making it harder to maintain accurate, up-to-date information. This could result in staff making operational or financial decisions based on outdated or inconsistent figures, potentially affecting customer service and inventory management. If a connection were established, it could enable the exchange of data such as sales orders, inventory levels, customer details, and product information. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the same operational reality and reduce administrative overhead. However, the specific data that can be exchanged depends entirely on what each system exposes through its API or interfaces, and must be 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 Magento 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.
