Application Connector

An application connector is a middleware component that allows multiple software systems to communicate and share data. It serves as a bridge between applications, translating and routing data in real time without the need for special interfaces. Businesses can use application connections to simplify how different technologies, such as ERPs, CRMs, and WMS systems, share data within logistical workflows.

Application connectors are especially useful in integration platforms, where they function as plug-and-play modules, making it easier to integrate cloud-based, on-premise, or hybrid systems. Connectors automatically manage authentication, protocol translation, and data mapping to provide reliable, secure, effective data flow, instead of manually creating APIs for all new items.
