Integration Development

Need to connect anything to everything? We build the profiles and data mappings that link your ERP, WMS, TMS, PIM, and webshop with your partners' systems, across EDI formats like EDIFACT, VDA, and IDoc as well as APIs, XML, JSON, and flat files.

FAQ Heading

What is Lobster?

Lobster is a no-code data integration and automation platform. It connects your business systems, suppliers, carriers, and customers in one place, handling everything from classic EDI to modern APIs, so data flows automatically instead of being moved by hand.

How is Lobster different from other integration tools?

Unlike generic iPaaS solutions, Lobster is built around supply chain realities: it speaks every relevant EDI format and protocol, ships with 90+ pre-built connectors, and includes self-service partner onboarding. Your team can build and change integrations without writing code or waiting on vendors.

Do we need developers to work with Lobster?

No. Lobster's drag-and-drop interface lets trained business and IT users build data mappings and workflows themselves. We provide the implementation and training so your team becomes independent, and we stay available for complex cases and ongoing support.

Which systems and formats can be connected?

Practically all of them: ERP, WMS, TMS, PIM, CRM, and webshops, via EDIFACT, VDA, IDoc, XML, JSON, flat files, and APIs, over protocols like AS2, SFTP, HTTP, Kafka, and MQTT. If it touches your supply chain, it can be connected.

Can Lobster run on-premise or only in the cloud?

Both. Lobster can be deployed on-premise, in your own cloud, in the Lobster Cloud, or as a hybrid setup, and you can migrate between deployment models at any time. We help you choose the architecture that fits your security and infrastructure requirements.

How long does a typical Lobster implementation take?

It depends on the scope, but thanks to the no-code approach and pre-built connectors, first integrations often go live within weeks rather than months. We define a realistic roadmap with you during onboarding, so you know what to expect at every stage. 

What does W4 do as a Lobster partner?

We cover the full project lifecycle: consulting and platform setup, integration development and data mappings, workflow automation, partner onboarding, team training, and ongoing support and managed services, so you have one partner for everything Lobster.
