API Connector

What is API Connector?

• Universal Data Translator. The API Connector is an intelligent middleware that functions as a universal translator for the trade tech stack. It bridges ERPs, TMSs, WMSs, and customs portals that traditionally operate as walled gardens requiring manual "swivel-chair" integration.
• The Data Fragmentation Crisis. A typical international transaction activates a sprawling network of disconnected systems. Data trapped in one system must be manually extracted, reformatted, and re-keyed into another. A single keystroke error in an invoice value or HS code can trigger customs audits and payment delays.
• Semantic Understanding. Unlike static integration tools that rely on rigid "if-this-then-that" scripts, the API Connector uses semantic mapping to understand that "Consignee" on a Bill of Lading, "Ship-To Party" in an ERP, and "Buyer" in a commercial invoice are semantically identical entities.
• Self-Healing Architecture. The agent operates on a "read once, act once, log everything" philosophy. If an API is unavailable or a legacy portal lacks connectivity, it uses browser-native capabilities to interact with web interfaces directly, ensuring no part of the supply chain goes dark.

Replaces:

• Manual "swivel-chair" entry typing data between ERP and TMS screens.
• Rigid EDI maintenance requiring expensive IT consultants.
• Spreadsheet reconciliation downloading CSVs to verify data matches.
• Email-based data transfer of sensitive trade documents.
• Reactive error correction after shipping delays occur.

Why API Connector?

• Eliminate Data Entry Errors by 90%. Human data entry has error rates of 3-5%, scaling disastrously in high-volume logistics. By automating data transfer with validation logic, the agent reduces errors by 90%, ensuring accurate customs filings, financial reporting, and customer notifications.
• Slash Integration Costs. Traditional system integration costs between $100,000 and $1,000,000 for enterprise-grade projects. The API Connector uses pre-built semantic models to integrate new partners in days rather than months, bypassing the "integration tax" that slows digital transformation.
• Enable Real-Time Visibility. If the TMS is updated hours after the ERP, operations teams fly blind. The agent ensures synchronization in near real-time, allowing logistics managers to react to disruptions the moment they happen rather than waiting for batch updates.
• Bridge the Legacy Gap. Many supply chain partners still run on legacy systems without modern APIs. The agent uses browser-native automation to interact with web portals directly, ensuring archaic systems are integrated into modern workflows.

How It Works

1. Semantic System Audit. The agent scans schemas of connected systems (Salesforce, SAP, CargoWise) using Model Context Protocol. It creates a unified data ontology, learning that "Customer_ID" in one system equals "Account_Number" in another.
2. Event-Driven Ingestion. The agent monitors for business events via webhooks or polling - new orders, shipment updates, stock changes. For unstructured inputs like PDF invoices, it uses OCR and NLP to extract data into structured JSON.
3. Anomaly Detection. Before syncing, data passes through a validation engine checking for anomalies like shipping dates preceding order dates or price variances exceeding thresholds. Anomalies are flagged for human review.
4. Synchronized Execution. Validated data is pushed to target systems via API - updating TMS with order details, triggering WMS stock allocation, posting ERP financial entries. Every transaction is logged for traceability and compliance.
