Integrate.
Why integration is so important
A B2B e-commerce solution requires data and uses processes from other IT systems in the company, such as ERP, merchandise management, PIM, CRM, etc. For this reason, smooth communication between the systems involved is essential.
avanta API first*-
best prerequisite for integration
Each individual avanta function module is equipped with an interface for the exchange of data, information and parameters. This ensures smooth communication with other systems.
Explanation:
*API = Application Programming Interface = Programming interface for applications
*API first = Modern system standard: The interface is always planned before programming a software module
Configure interfaces
instead of programming
You can use middleware to configure communication between avanta and other IT systems conveniently and without time-consuming interface programming. You can use existing middleware, such as Lobster, MuleSoft or SAP Cloud Integrator, or you can use the avanta middleware supplied.
Further advantages of avanta integration
- Your employees continue to work in their familiar systems, e.g. ERP, PIM. The e-commerce solution is controlled via existing systems.
- Your employees can adapt, monitor and maintain interfaces themselves - without the need for programming specialists.
- Thanks to avanta's headless capability, functions can also be used by other systems and media (e.g. frontends, apps, IoT).
