Exostar operates one of the largest transaction hubs in the aerospace and defense industry, with connections to major prime contractors such as BAE Systems, The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Rolls-Royce, as well as the UK Ministry of Defence. With Exostar, suppliers can securely integrate their back-end system once, then leverage the connection to communicate with any other customer connected to Exostar. Companies who integrate their back-end system to Exostar are more likely to deliver the right product to the right location on the right date, increasing the probability of the customer issuing payment on time.Supplier integration overview
The Exostar Supplier Integration Solution provides companies with a proven approach and set of technologies to meet integration requirements, regardless of their technical capabilities or geographic location. Suppliers can use their preferred message and transport protocols to communicate regardless of the format used by their customers. Exostar’s integration infrastructure enables any-to-any integration by transforming content between the format used by the customer and the format best consumed by the supplier’s back-end system.
With Exostar’s Supplier Integration Solution, companies may leverage existing investments in Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and B2B systems, or deploy the Exostar B2B client, a software product that provides a simple, cost-effective way to extend their back-end system directly to Exostar. Adapters to ERP systems including SAP, Oracle and BAAN are available as well.
