Waldom Electronics explores how APIs are transforming the electronics industry by enhancing agility, operational efficiency and sustainability.
In today’s fast-paced, data-driven world, application programming interfaces (APIs) are revolutionizing the way businesses communicate and operate by simplifying data integration, preventing silos and enabling scalable, real-time solutions.
With decades of reliance on traditional electronic data interchange (EDI) systems, the electronics industry has been slower to adopt API-driven models compared to other sectors often due to limitations such as scalability, data visibility and integration complexity.
The Waldom inventory API empowers electronics distributors to integrate with its extensive inventory seamlessly. Distributors can add thousands of SKUs to their inventory, get white-label distribution and leverage blind fulfillment services to accelerate business growth without more warehousing or minimum order quantities.
Waldom’s Store API suite allows distributors to effortlessly place, manage and track orders.
The Order Create API lets users create and submit orders directly to Waldom. It integrates with existing ERP or websites to create a smooth, efficient order process. The Order Retrieve API lets users look up order status and access detailed info about all their orders. The Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) Retrieve API gives users detailed shipment tracking information with tracking numbers, carrier details and more. The Invoices Retrieve API lets users access payment information and downloadable PDFs for every invoice.
Waldom’s Inventory and Pricing API suite gives users instant access to real-time inventories on all Waldom customer part numbers.
Both API suites can be integrated into existing order and ERP systems for complete visibility and easy order facilitation.
These integrated APIs also help companies improve sustainability. Real-time expanded inventory access lets distributors minimize inventory holdings, reduce e-waste from stale inventory and build efficiency in their supply chain and logistics. The Waldom API enables a lean, optimized approach to inventory management.
