Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How can manufacturers connect operational and supply chain data to APIs and AI?
Manufacturers can connect applications, APIs, events, and trusted operational data without disrupting the systems that support production and supply chain operations. Axway helps organizations expose approved data and services through governed APIs while controlling how AI models and agents access operational systems, partner data, applications, and business processes.
How can organizations govern AI across manufacturing and supply chain operations?
AI governance provides consistent controls over how AI models and agents access operational data, applications, APIs, tools, and partner ecosystems. Axway helps organizations apply access and security policies, monitor AI interactions, maintain visibility and auditability, and protect sensitive operational, supply chain, and partner data as AI adoption expands.
How does Axway support B2B/EDI integration for manufacturing, logistics, and supply chains?
Axway supports the secure, reliable exchange of high-volume EDI and business transactions across complex trading-partner ecosystems. Organizations can connect suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, customers, and business applications while supporting a broad range of EDI standards, protocols, message formats, and regulatory requirements. Axway also helps simplify partner onboarding, improve transaction visibility, and connect established EDI processes with APIs and modern applications.
How do Direct EDI and modern VAN connectivity work together?
Direct EDI connects organizations point-to-point, providing direct control over individual partner connections. A modern value-added network, or VAN, provides secure connectivity across multiple partners and business networks, with centralized visibility, self-service capabilities, API-driven automation, reporting, and connections to other VANs and private networks. Axway enables organizations to use Direct EDI, modern VAN connectivity, or both, based on partner requirements, transaction volumes, operational needs, and cost.
How does managed file transfer support manufacturing and logistics operations?
Managed file transfer helps securely and reliably move critical files across factories, warehouses, supply chains, freight networks, trading partners, and business systems. Axway provides visibility, control, monitoring, high availability, and failover for file transfers that support mission-critical operations. Managed services can also reduce the day-to-day infrastructure, security, and operational burden on internal IT teams.
How are managed file transfer and B2B/EDI integration different?
Managed file transfer focuses on the secure, reliable, and controlled movement of files between systems, applications, and organizations. B2B/EDI integration manages structured business transactions and partner processes, such as purchase orders, shipping notices, inventory updates, invoices, and logistics messages. Manufacturing and logistics organizations often need both to support file-based exchanges and structured partner transactions across their operations.
How can B2B integration support global e-invoicing requirements?
B2B integration connects e-invoicing processes with ERP, financial, procurement, e-commerce, and trading-partner systems. Axway supports standards and frameworks such as UBL, Peppol, and continuous transaction controls, helping organizations manage evolving country-specific requirements without building a separate compliance process for every market.
