See How It Works APIWORX connects the systems your business already uses and takes responsibility for the agreed integration workflows after go-live. The exact objects, direction and cadence are fixed in writing during scoping. ERP + eCommerce Specialists Managed & Monitored Integrations Expert Integration Team APIWORX Provides the Service ## Yes. APIWORX connects Sage X3 and DHL. But connecting the applications is only the beginning. The work that costs you time sits in the process running between them. APIWORX automates that process end to end — the objects moving between Sage X3 and DHL, the ownership rules that decide which system wins, the exceptions when a record will not post, and the monitoring that tells someone before your team finds out from a customer.

Managed integration earns its place when several ship-from locations, service rules or tracking writeback obligations make manual handling a standing cost. ### What is out of scope - DHL is a group of businesses — DHL Express, eCommerce and Supply Chain each expose different interfaces. Which one applies to your account, and in which countries, is confirmed in scoping before any commitment. - APIWORX does not negotiate your DHL rates, hold your carrier contract, or act as a freight broker. - Rate shopping and landed-cost calculation are only in scope where your DHL account exposes them and the behaviour is agreed before build. - Customs and commercial-invoice content stays owned by the system and team that produce it; we move the values those systems hold. - Sage X3 customisations differ by deployment; which objects are safely writable is confirmed against your environment before build. ## What actually moves, and who owns it A representative scope. Exact records, DHL service and writeback fields are confirmed before build.

Deliveries are validated in Sage X3 and sent once, with the label and tracking written straight back onto the delivery record. - One source of address and weight data. - Tracking numbers on the delivery, not in a spreadsheet. - Failed requests reported with the specific field at fault. ### Several ship-from locations Each site can carry its own DHL account, service rules and packaging defaults. Mapping is held as configuration so adding a site is a change request, not a project. - Account and service mapped per location. - Packaging defaults applied per site. - Unsupported lanes held rather than defaulted. ### Customer service cannot see where a parcel is Delivery status is written back against the Sage X3 delivery, so the answer is in the ERP rather than in a carrier portal someone has to log into. - Status updates on an agreed cadence. - Exceptions — held, undeliverable, returned — surfaced for action. - Every update carries the DHL shipment reference. ## Reliability and ownership The operating rules that apply to this workflow after go-live. - Every run is logged with the source record reference so a shipment can be traced end to end. - Failed messages are retried on a defined schedule; anything still failing lands in an exception queue rather than being dropped silently. - Duplicate prevention keys on the source system's own identifier so a replayed message does not create a second shipment or a second posting. - Exceptions are worked by the APIWORX team and escalated to your named contacts when a business decision is needed. - Mapping changes — new service levels, new ship-from locations, new accounts — are handled inside the ongoing engagement. - Support windows and response commitments live in your agreement; this page does not state an SLA. ## How a shipment is traced Illustrative — not customer data An illustrative reference trace from Sage X3 delivery to DHL shipment and back. | Sage X3 delivery number | DHL shipment reference | | --- | --- | | DHL tracking number | Sage X3 delivery record | | Ship-from location | Mapped DHL account | | DHL status event | Sage X3 status field | ## Scope and questions Which DHL service applies? It depends on your account and lanes. DHL Express, eCommerce and Supply Chain expose different interfaces; the applicable service is confirmed in scoping before any commitment. Does this work with on-premise Sage X3? Where a supported integration path is available on your deployment, yes. The available objects and access method are confirmed against your environment first. Can you write tracking numbers back into Sage X3? Yes — onto the fields agreed during scoping, which depend on how your X3 environment is configured. Who works the exceptions? APIWORX works the queue and escalates to your named contacts when a business decision is needed. Your integration plan ## Get My Integration Plan Tell us what systems you need connected.
