How the Infor + EDIconnect integration works end-to-end
The pattern: a retailer PO arrives at EDIconnect via AS2/OFTP2/SFTP → EDIconnect validates and translates it → sends a sales order to Infor via Infor: standard REST/SOAP APIs, ION integration layer, Data Lake exports → Infor confirms availability and creates a delivery → the delivery flows back to EDIconnect as a DESADV/856 → invoice follows as INVOIC/810 → EDIconnect transmits everything to the retailer.
All of that happens in minutes, unattended, with full audit trail. Suppliers running Infor + EDIconnect typically handle 10-50× the EDI volume of a manual setup with the same headcount.
