Key Takeaways: 

• Event-driven and data-driven integration make real-time synchronization and scalability possible, both of which are critical for industries that require timely responses.

• APIs enable real-time decision making which improves both data consistency and data integrity.

It’s important to understand integration requirements thoroughly before designing an API.

When two companies undergo a merger or one company acquires another, among the primary hurdles the firms must overcome is how best to consolidate two separate Electronic Data Interchange systems. Which solution will stay and which will go? Or would the new, larger company be better served by moving to a new EDI solution altogether?

Key Takeaways:

• Technological advancements are fueling an evolution in traditional supply chains.
• APIs are an essential component in helping to build digital supply chains.
• APIs facilitate optimization of logistics and transportation.

Key takeaways:

• Event-driven architecture is well-suited for logistics operations.
• Don’t overlook robust security measures when implementing event-driven integration.

Today’s supply chains call for real-time visibility. Being able to see fully into operations is critical for optimal efficiency and responsiveness. In the sections below, we explore how Application Programming Interface integration enables that visibility through its transformation of supply chain management.
