How it works
- Crossfire receives interchanges (files) from you or your partner, these might be picked up via SFTP, received through an API, or over a VAN.
- An interchange may contain one or many EDI messages being exchanged, which can be facilitated via API calls. Each message is validated by the Crossfire system to make sure it’s in the correct format and data matches up on both yours and your trading partner's side.
- Each message is mapped/translated to the whichever format is required. This could be another internal systems format or a trading partner.
- Similar to the pick-up/receive process, Crossfire can either send interchanges to the other system via SFTP, Email, API, VAN or any other means.
Crossfire Managed API & EDI Integration
Integration options
Systems can be integrated through APIs, using EDI, or through other methods.
Crossfire helps you connect with trading partners or with internal systems to eliminate data roadblocks and automate workflows, creating ecosystems, new and old systems work together with purpose.
We integrate with any system across a range of industries, including Supply Chain and Retail. We help provide non-EDI integration solutions as well, such as PDF to XML conversions.
API Integration
APIs are used to connect systems with other external or internal systems. Essentially, they allow access with certain restrictions to a system enabling information to be pushed and/or pulled from the system. Establishing APIs throughout different systems within a supply chain allows effective system integration.
Get in touch with Crossfire to find out more about how APIs might work for your business.

EDI Integration
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has been used for over 40 years and therefore is a well-established method of system integration.
EDI relies on message standards that outline the structure of the data messages being exchanged, different message standards are used for each type of business transaction. Message standards replace traditional paper documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices or movements in transport/warehousing.
