Integrations

ExB integrations

ExB delivers extracted document data by API into the business systems logistics and manufacturing teams already run. Named connections include SAP, CargoWise for freight forwarding, ELO for document management, and DATEV for accounting, and the platform also feeds transport management systems (TMS), ERP platforms, and document management systems (DMS). Documents can arrive as PDFs, scanned files, or emails with attachments, and validated results are passed on with unclear cases flagged for human review. ExB states that GDPR compliance is built in, which matters for European operators. Teams with in-house systems can use the API to connect ExB to custom intake and approval workflows.
