CONNECT TO ANY PARTNER
Every partner has a different setup. With Lobster, you can integrate them them regardless of their tech capabilities, connecting data flows across carriers, suppliers, and customers.
20+ years of experience supporting 2,000+ companies in retail, manufacturing, and logistics
With standardised, reusable templates and out-of-the-box integrations, Lobster makes it easy to connect to your supply chain partners. Even non-IT teams can do it.
You can use Lobster to set up integrations with partners of any size, capacity, or tech capabilities.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTION OPTIONS
Instead of building custom connections, automatically bring in data via EDI or API. For low-tech partners, add WebEDI portals to exchange data without having your teams handle manual input.
BUILT-IN ROUTING AND CONVERSIONS
Instead of chasing down incomplete orders or tracking errors across internal systems, let Lobster run content and syntax checks and alert your teams about possible issues — before bringing in partner data.
CARRIER INTEGRATION
Changing or adding a carrier should be a configuration update, not a standalone development project. Set up connections through a unified integration layer and automate data flows in both directions.
Set up bidrectional data flows with courier, express and parcel service providers in minutes.
