Middleware components can serve a variety of purposes. They facilitate the exchange and connection of different systems. An application for the export and import of data can, for example, be the exchange of product or customer data or the import of order data. Any data sources can be used, such as a database or a file system.

Format conversions are also typical applications of middleware components. The file formats often include XML, JSON, CSV, or proprietary data formats. Data delivery can be done manually or dynamically (such as file retrieval or web APIs).

We familiarize ourselves with your individual, existing application landscape and coordinate with you to find the optimal solution for your company. We have experience with Paypal, Klarna, eBay, Afterbuy, XT Commerce, DHL/Deutsche Post packages/shipping/merchandise mail. We complement your existing solutions and do not replace existing overall systems.

Data Automation and Data Control

Tailored to your individual business context, we develop methods for data verification, validation, and automatic processing.

Every system you use has interfaces that we program and use to supplement missing functionality if no internal system solution is possible.

Integration/Automation DHL Parcel Shipping via "DHL Business Customer Shipping API" - International Shipping/Merchandise Mail

With our own solution as a software partner, we currently support the generation of barcode labels or shipping labels for DHL business customer products with and without customs information via the DHL API, for example:

The connection and integration are individually tailored to your own merchandise management system. Furthermore, there is the possibility of automatic or semi-automatic address data verification, which can be helpful or necessary when importing data from third-party sources or user inputs.
That is, instead of manually generating label purchases via the business customer portal or the "Internetmarke" / "Shop der Deutschen Post," you conveniently use the programmable interface of the DHL backend and ship automatically.

The labels are obtained directly from DHL as PDFs and are therefore always up to date with the (technical) requirements for shipping labels. An automatic batch print is also possible.
