ERP & middleware
PROWERB connects ERP, middleware and fulfilment through agreed data and responsibilities. We define the leading system, what is exchanged and how enquiries or errors are handled.
The leading system supplies agreed data with stable identifiers.
The interface maps fields and makes incomplete processes actionable.
Status and errors are linked to the process and assigned to the responsible team.
Example workflow. Data scope, approvals and technical requirements are agreed with your team.
The platforms shown belong to the described workflow. We agree the exact scope, required access and responsibilities for your setup.

A documented REST API, an EDI converter and a regularly supplied file offer different options. Planning depends on the data format, access, update frequency and error handling. Share the interface documentation or a sample file alongside the intended order process. Together, we assess which steps can be automated and where approval or manual handling should remain.
An ERP uses different product codes from the connected shop. Middleware still needs to transfer the correct variant and quantity. Agree master data, conversions and error cases before the first real order. Missing mappings require clarification, not silent selection of a similar item.
Define source code, target code, variant and unit together. Establish a maintenance process for master-data changes.
Deliberately test unknown items, invalid quantities and retries. Each response should enable the responsible team to correct the issue.
Connect receipt, transfer and outcome through a shared reference. A case can then be followed without searching several email threads.
Six data routes for the agreed process. Interfaces can be event-driven while files are exchanged at agreed intervals. Update frequency, scope and responses are defined for each data type; real-time warehouse booking does not automatically mean real-time exchange with every source system.
These steps describe the integration project. In larger fulfillment takeovers it is part of the seven-phase introduction; around 14 weeks is a planning guide for that overall scope. An individual integration is scheduled according to its data, counterpart and acceptance tests.
Which system at your end (any ERP/WMS/CRM/shop), which modules, which trading partners, which messages — we map the real system landscape.
Capture of available interfaces, field mapping and format clarification — independent of the vendor.
Setup of converters or endpoints, test messages against your system, sign-off against real transactions.
Controlled first load, parallel operation until stable — no big bang without a way back.
We run the interface in continuous operation: monitoring, exception handling, changes. One contact, not a ticket call center.
PROWERB manages the agreed handoff into its operations. Your IT team or system partner owns changes in the source system. Before launch, we agree who handles each type of error and approves a corrected transmission.
Usually yes. What matters isn't the name but the available interface: EDIFACT, SFTP, CSV, REST or middleware.
No problem. Besides classic EDI we work with SFTP files, CSV import and direct connection.
PROWERB handles field mapping for the agreed interface. Your IT team or system partner provides documentation and sample data and explains customer-specific fields. We validate the mapping together using test orders, including missing information and different units.
For larger fulfillment takeovers, we use the seven-phase method: from requirements and master data through system integration, testing and stock transfer to go-live and handover to ongoing operations. Around 14 weeks is a planning guide for that scope; data quality, interfaces and stock transfer determine the actual date. Smaller or purely digital assignments receive a suitable introduction plan.
Which systems, which trading partners, which formats — a first briefing needs no more.
