Technical information on ERP connections

We support all common transfer methods such as AS2, HTTP(S), SFTP, OFTP2, X.400 or e-mail. If you do not support any of these, we can provide you with our transfer software (client), the myOpenFactory EDI Connector, which will be installed on your system and which establishes a secure connection between your system and our EDI platform.

Of course, we can process all common, standardized file formats such as EDIFACT, SAP-IDoc, cXML, UBL, ANSI X12, openTRANS, and many more. In addition, we have developed a standard interface (module) with the following ERP manufacturers:

• ams.erp (https://www.ams-erp.com/)
• Asseco’s APplus (https://www.applus-erp.de)
• PSIpenta’s PSI ERP (https://www.psi-automotive-industry.de/de/home/)
• Fauser ERP (https://www.fauser.ag/)

But there are also numerous, already prepared, connection options for the proprietary file formats of other ERP systems.
