One trading network for over a thousand partners, monitored end to end
webMethods Trading Networks implementation connecting thousands of trading partners across the chemical supply chain — PO automation, ASN, invoice, and EDI document exchange at enterprise scale.
Background
A global B2B network connecting thousands of trading partners across the chemical supply chain required modernisation of its core trading partner integration platform — including PO automation, ASN handling, invoice exchange, and full EDI document lifecycle management.
The challenge
Implement a scalable trading partner integration platform on webMethods Trading Networks supporting thousands of partners, multiple EDI standards (X12, EDIFACT), and integration with enterprise back-end systems — with full audit trail and operational monitoring.
Our approach
Intellectual delivered the programme as a senior integration team — architecting partner onboarding workflows, implementing trading partner agreements, configuring document mapping, and integrating with backend ERP and order management systems. The team handled multiple concurrent EDI standards and complex partner-specific transformations.
