EDI in General
Overview of the B2B EDI Market

8
B2B EDI has been around since the 1960s, but
what is it?
Sample documents exchanged between companies:
B2B (Business-to-Business) EDI is the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Been around for decades.
Traditionally B2B EDI has been file based.

B2B EDI impacts industries with substantial
needs for an integrated supply chain
Retail and Consumer
Goods
Manufacturing Transportations &
Logistics
Healthcare Insurance

Market challenges driving B2B modernization

Growing data volume and partner
requirements create scalability
challenges
Solutions are costly and difficult to
connect to modern data formats
and transport protocols
Inaccurate and unsecure data lead
to revenue loss and customer
chargebacks

APM History and B2b Integration
With API-Led Connectivity

Our B2B offering
history
MuleSoft
entered the
B2B Market
2015
October 2019
Anypoint
Partner
Manager v2
GA (X12)
We created multiple
OOTB EDI
Connectors
Partnership Starts - Anypoint
Partner Manager v1
Late
2015
Created a standard application that
interacted with our platform via APIs.
We white labeled it - see it as
Anypoint Partner Manager v1.
Partnership Ends
July 2018
MuleSoft starts working on a
new B2B EDI Solution
(Anypoint Partner Manager v2)
Anypoint Partner Manager v2
Beta Launch
July 2019
And the journey goes on
(further APM releases
planned for EDIFACT,
HL7, advanced tracking
etc)
Late 2018

Extending Anypoint Platform with B2B
capabilities
High Level EDI Capabilities - in a Single Unified Platform
Anypoint EDI Connectors
● specific connectors for EDI
● support for industry standard
data formats (EDIFACT,
X12, etc)
● ...and protocols (AS2, SFTP
etc)

Anypoint Platform – single product for APIs, EDIs, and
integration
Future-proof
foundation
Integrate modern APIs
and EDIs in one
platform
Automated security
Reduce business risk and
mitigate revenue loss
End-to-end visibility
End-to-end visibility
across EDI & modern
APIs
Accelerated delivery
Decrease partner and
supplier onboarding
time

Qualifying Factor for Anypoint
Partner Manager

23
If there are fewer partners, look into Connectors
API Led Connectivity
+ Anypoint
Platform
+ Connectors
● API Led Connectivity
○ Experience APIs - let us deal with each partner in the way they
prefer.
○ Connectors - for converting to and from various formats
(EDIFACT, X12, HL7 etc.)
○ Connectors - for sending/receiving files in various protocols
(SFTP, AS2 etc.)
This is fine for small numbers of partners and/or partners that rarely
change.
Entry level

24
If there are 30+ partners, look into Anypoint Partner
Manager
Anypoint Partner Manager
+ Entry level
● Partner Manager - add-on to the first approach
○ Partner Manager reduces the effort in building many experience APIs
to serve many partners (dozens to hundreds+)
○ Configuring partners in APM -> auto-generate some of the flows
required.
This is justified when partners are constantly changing and onboarding time is
important
Extended
>30 partners (ish)

Why might you be talking about our
B2B EDI Solution?

26
Why might you be talking about our B2B EDI Solution?
Takes too long or too expensive to make changes or onboard new
partners
Lack of end to end visibility and monitoring
Unable to deliver new capabilities due to limitations in the existing EDI solution
Lack of support for more real time, API enabled
EDI
Existing solution going (or gone) out of support

27
Why does our B2B EDI solution help?
● Limited control / governance around system and data access
● Unable to grant partners, customers or third parties access to
information No ability to secure assets against unauthorised
access
● Lack the ability to report and gain
Quickly onboard and manage partners and suppliers
Pre-built connectors for all common message formats and protocols
Gain end to end visibility across B2B transactions and backend integrations
Seamlessly and securely integrate modern APIs and legacy EDIs in one
platform
Extend existing business process to new channels / partners (reuse of application network)

Example 1: Automated Contract Management
Using MuleSoft, RPA tool (UI Path) and Document Management tool (DocuSign) automated contract renewal
process.
MuleSoft identify the contract due for renewal. Send that to RPA. RPA prepares the contract and send that to
DocuSign. DocuSign sends that contract to owner. Once owner signs the contract it is sent to SalesForce by
MuleSoft for record keeping.

Example 2: Load Optimization
Experience
@
Speed
API based load optimization
integration for loading and delivery
Problem Statement: Delay in delivery,
sub-optimal space usage, expensive
Solution: At the time of loading of
consignments at warehouse level,
loading data is shared with BlueJay
through MuleSoft.
BlueJay analyses the data and
suggest the best possible loading
orientation.
By the time, truck reaches at cross-
dock location, Mulesoft pulls loading
optimization steps from BlueJay and
provide that to Cross-Dock operations.
Value Addition: Optimized Load, Reduced time in delivery,
Customer satisfaction, Optimized space management, Cost saving

Example 3: ERP Consolidation through APIfication
Problem Statement:
Discrete and disconnected ERPs,
Redundant processes,
Hardwired with consumer layer due to Point to Point
integrations
Not able to replace or upgrade ERPs
Not able to move to cloud
Solution: Due to our investment in building “API led
Architecture” as backbone on cloud, ERP
consolidation is now possible. This can be done
without affecting consumers.
Loosely Coupled business services (no hardwiring)
Changes at ERP level (migration, consolidation,
replacement, upgrade) has no impact to consumers
