Arc seamlessly connects enterprise applications like CRMs, ERPs, marketing and accounting software, and even relational database systems to automate complex processes and synchronization across the enterprise, both on-premises and in the cloud. The application supports file transfer through a wide array of B2B messaging protocols including AS2, AS4, OFTP, SFTP, and more. It streamlines, secures, and automates data movement and gives users the ability to define workflows around incoming and outgoing files. In addition, Arc features interactive EDI mapping and translation with support for all major EDI standards and protocols such as X12 and EDIFACT. This allows users not only to exchange files with their trading partners but also to translate those messages into a readable XML format that is ready for further processing. A codeless visual interface features a modern drag-and-drop approach to workflow management where users can configure connectors in a workspace to build complex workflows. This drag-and-drop approach also extends to data transformation, allowing users to easily map data between formats like JSON, XML, and CSV. These features can be used to integrate backend applications with EDI messaging workflows, or simply to synchronize data between two or more disparate applications. Arc is a modern integration framework that enables organizations to manage all their file transfers, EDI communication, and backend workflows through a central solution that is reliable, secure, scalable, and can be deployed anywhere.
