Product Overview
Connect is a purpose-built integration layer that links IBM i™ ERP systems to modern digital commerce platforms. It brings your business logic, pricing, stock, and customer data into real-time alignment with your webshop—without exposing your ERP or duplicating core processes.
Whether you're managing high-volume sales, complex B2B pricing, multi-warehouse inventory, or product configurations, Connect makes your IBM i™ the engine of your digital experience.
What you get with Connect
Live, Accurate Data Flow
Stay in sync at all times. Connect ensures your webshop reflects real-time inventory, pricing, and customer-specific logic—directly from IBM i™. No outdated batches. No sync jobs. Just accurate data when and where you need it.
Smarter Customer Experience
Deliver ERP-level precision at every touchpoint. Customers see the right prices, personalized discounts, accurate stock, and available configurations in real time. Even stock is reserved during checkout—reducing cart abandonment and fulfillment issues.
Fast Time-to-Market
Connect drastically shortens integration time. Launch a new platform, enter new regions, or deploy new tools without waiting months—or rewriting ERP logic. With structured endpoints and plug-and-play flexibility, changes are fast and scalable.
Security by Design
Built to protect your IBM i™, Connect uses encrypted, token-authenticated endpoints—no exposed databases or system-level access. Designed to meet enterprise-grade standards like ISO and GDPR, your core remains sealed and compliant.
Who is it built for?
Connect is designed for businesses that rely on IBM i™ to manage high-scale, high-value operations. If you recognize your business in any of the scenarios below, Connect is built for you.
Manufacturers, Distributors, and B2B Suppliers
If your operations depend on layered ERP processes—such as customer-specific pricing, discount structures, or contractual workflows—Connect ensures all of this logic flows seamlessly into your webshop without being rebuilt or exposed.
Retail Groups with Multi-Location Inventory
Managing multiple brands, physical stores, or regional warehouses often leads to fragmented data. Connect synchronizes real-time stock and pricing across all locations, so your customers always see what’s truly available, wherever they are.
Companies Selling Configurable or Service-Linked Products
If your products require customization, bundling, or add-on services like installation or inspection, Connect brings that ERP-driven complexity online—making it possible to sell exactly what you offer, as you offer it.
Businesses Managing Thousands of SKUs Across Warehouses
When your catalog is large and logistics are critical, Connect keeps every moving part synchronized. It ensures accurate availability, enables backorder logic, and supports partial or multi-source fulfillment—directly from your IBM i™ system.
