Data exchange

Data exchange involves the transfer and sharing of information between different systems, applications, or devices. It enables end-to-end data processing and the automated coordination of digital processes.

In logistics, reliable data exchange is crucial for integrating ERP, WMS, TMS, and automation systems. Through interfaces, for example, order data, master data, measurement values, status information, or shipping data are transferred between the involved systems. Structured data exchange reduces manual data entry, improves data quality, and lays the foundation for transparent and efficient processes.

Practical example:

A DWS system automatically transfers recorded dimensions, weight, and identification data to the transport management system so that the shipment can be processed further without manual post-processing.
