MuleSoft EDI Integration
A retail-focused client manufacturing electric tools operates a Shopify portal and sells across marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart. To efficiently process orders from these channels, they needed a robust B2B EDI integration solution—leading them to Yell Technologies and MuleSoft Partner Manager.
How Yell Technologies enabled an e-commerce tool manufacturer to streamline marketplace orders with MuleSoft Partner Manager and EDI.
Challenges
- Marketplace complexity: Orders from Amazon, Walmart, and others arrive in different EDI transaction formats (810, 850, 855, 856, 865), challenging standard integration pipelines.
- Format mismatch: Shopify expects REST/JSON, while marketplaces often send EDIFACT or X12.
- Low operational visibility: Without a unified platform, the team lacked traceability and control across trading partner data flows.
Solution
Yell Technologies implemented MuleSoft’s API led EDI framework using Partner Manager:
- EDI API Development • Built multiple APIs to ingest EDI documents (810 invoice, 850 purchase order, 855 acknowledgement, 856 ASN, 865 change order)Schema Configuration • Configured EDIFACT/X12 schemas in MuleSoft Partner Manager to normalize incoming EDI payloads.
- Unified Integration Flow • Transformed EDI data into JSON/REST-compatible structures for Shopify and backend systems. • Designed central API-layer for order intake from all marketplaces into a unified format.
Why Yell Technologies’s Approach Worked
- B2B/EDI + API in one platform: Using MuleSoft Partner Manager ensured consistent partner onboarding, schema validation, and monitoring across channels.
- Low-code accelerated time to market: Configurable EDI schemas and mappings accelerated the onboarding of new marketplace partners.
- Reusable API assets: Built modular EDI-to-JSON APIs, simplifying future marketplace additions and maintenance.
Results
- Seamless marketplace integration: All EDI documents from Amazon, Walmart, etc., now flow reliably into Shopify.
- Operational efficiency: Centralized EDI processing and schema management reduced errors and manual intervention.
- Scalable design: The reusable Partner Manager setup enables rapid onboarding of new marketplaces.
- Enhanced visibility: Full traceability and schema validation across all EDI-based transactions.
Conclusion
By leveraging MuleSoft Partner Manager and EDI APIs, Yell Technologies empowered the client to turn fragmented marketplace feeds into a harmonized, REST-compatible integration pipeline—migrating them from siloed EDI formats to a unified, future-proof architecture.
