Retailers
For retailers
You depend on suppliers and third-party logistics providers, and their information arrives in whatever shape their systems produce. The work is turning that into something your operation can act on without a person translating it.
The shape of the problem
Every supplier and every logistics provider has its own vocabulary, its own file, its own idea of what a status means. Each one is individually manageable. The tenth one is not.
What breaks first is usually not the connection — it is that the same status means two different things in two systems, and nobody notices until a customer does.
Where mPorts fits
One integration layer
Each outside system is connected once, and every part of mPorts uses that same connection rather than building its own.

Questions buyers ask
- Do you support EDI?
- Yes. mPorts connects to retailers over EDI, exchanging purchase orders, acknowledgments, shipment notices and invoices. Which of your retailers are already connected is a scoping question we will answer rather than assume.
- Is our 3PL supported?
- Ask and we will check. Support means a live integration rather than the existence of an adapter, and we would rather answer the real question.
