For any organization doing B2B transactions, EDI, especially X12, is an important part of your trading partner communications. The format is nearly ubiquitous in transferring information electronically between businesses.
The challenge for many companies, both large and small, is two-fold when it comes to X12. First, automating X12 messages is complicated and time consuming without the right tools. And the right tools are expensive, priced out of reach for most small-to-medium businesses.
PortX is about to change all of that.
The X12 Translator for PortX
PortX’s goal is to modernize B2B/EDI communications with trading partners, integrating EDI to API infrastructure. As part of our continuing efforts to improve and expand the platform, we’ve developed a translator for the X12 format. The PortX X12 Translator is a native part of PortX’s B2B communications capabilities and works with nearly any ESB.
Unlike other X12 parsers, which are an expensive add on to your integration solution, our X12 translator is included with your base subscription of PortX. This offers you the ability to modernize your trading partner communications and provides a powerful and straightforward translator for the X12 format.
A subscription to PortX Integration Hub includes all of the features that you need to create simple and powerful automated B2B communications, track data, and view message performance. And with the release of the X12 Translator, you’ll have access to design transactions using this widely leveraged standard without needing to purchase anything more.
