We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the journey of ettos: the introduction of our external API feature!
This breakthrough represents a pivotal moment for our software, opening new doors for seamless integration with other software’s used by fashion brands. In this blog, we'll delve into what an external API is, how it works with ettos, and the remarkable benefits it brings to our users.
What is an External API?
An External API, or Application Programming Interface, serves as a means for different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. It essentially establishes a set of rules that govern how one application can access data from another. With the implementation of an external API, ettos now holds the capability to integrate with various software platforms commonly used by fashion brands.
How does the External API work with ettos?
Imagine you're using PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software to manage your product lifecycle and other important product data, like composition, colour, and sizing. With ettos' external API, you can seamlessly link your PLM system with our traceability software, allowing ettos to pull the necessary data directly from your existing platform. This integration eliminates the need for redundant data entry, streamlining your workflow and saving you valuable time and resources.
Benefits of the External API:
Efficiency: By integrating with external software, ettos simplifies data management processes, minimising manual input and reducing the risk of errors. This efficiency enables fashion brands to focus more on strategic initiatives and less on administrative tasks.
Seamless Integration: Our external API feature ensures smooth interoperability between ettos and other software applications, creating a cohesive ecosystem for managing supply chain data. Whether it's product information or order details, you can seamlessly sync data across your platforms without missing a beat.
Holistic Traceability: By integrating with PLM systems and other software tools, ettos extends its reach across the entire product lifecycle, from design to delivery. This holistic traceability ensures comprehensive visibility into your supply chain, fostering accountability and transparency at every stage.
The introduction of the external API feature marks a significant advancement for ettos, reinforcing our commitment to empowering fashion brands with cutting-edge traceability solutions. With seamless integration capabilities, our platform becomes even more user-friendly, allowing brands to leverage their existing software investments to quickly reap the benefits of our traceability software. As we continue to innovate and evolve, ettos remains dedicated to driving positive change in the fashion industry through transparency and traceability.
