The Problem
Many trading partners, vendors, and legacy systems still exchange data via files over SFTP. Without automation, someone must manually download files, transform them, and import them into the ERP — a repetitive, error-prone process that delays operations.
How The Workflow Works
1
APIWORX connects to the partner's SFTP server on a schedule
2
New files are detected and downloaded securely
3
File format is validated and parsed (CSV, XML, EDI, flat file)
4
Data is transformed and mapped to the target system's format
5
Records are created or updated in the ERP or commerce platform
6
Processed files are archived and logged
7
Outbound files are generated and uploaded to partner SFTP servers
Systems Typically Involved
