Connect Shopware and IBM AS/400

Connecting Shopware and IBM AS/400 for a company could enable the transfer of order, inventory, and customer data between the e-commerce platform and the enterprise resource planning system. This could help automate business processes, reduce manual data entry, and support more efficient management of sales, stock, and financial information across both systems.

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

Why connect Shopware and IBM AS/400?

A company running both Shopware and IBM AS/400 could benefit from having these systems exchange data to reduce the need for manual processes and improve operational efficiency. Without such a connection, staff may have to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Over time, records in Shopware and IBM AS/400 could drift apart, leading to inconsistencies, such as mismatched inventory levels or outdated customer and order information. This situation could result in decisions being made based on figures that are no longer accurate or current, which can impact customer satisfaction and business performance. If a connection were established, the kinds of data that could be exchanged between these systems include product details, stock levels, customer records, and order information. This would enable each system to stay updated with changes made in the other, supporting more reliable reporting and streamlined processes across sales, inventory, and fulfillment functions. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

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 Shopware 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.
