API/EDI Integrations
Connect your systems. Automate your data. Move faster.
Our advanced API and EDI integration services connect every part of your supply chain, eliminating manual processes and enabling real-time data exchange across platforms. As a licensed U.S. customs broker and freight forwarder, W.M. Stone builds the connections between your systems and ours so shipment, inventory, and customs data move automatically, not through spreadsheets and email.
Your Trusted Partner for API and EDI Integration.
Effective logistics management requires more than moving goods, it demands streamlined communication, system compatibility, and automated data flow. W.M. Stone builds the API and EDI connections that let your systems, and ours, talk to each other automatically.
W.M. Stone brings 250+ years of combined industry experience to every integration project we build, a legacy rooted in Norfolk and the Port of Virginia. That depth of experience means our integration team understands the data that actually needs to move, shipment milestones, inventory counts, customs documentation, and billing, not just the technical plumbing that connects two systems. As a licensed U.S. customs broker and freight forwarder in one, we build integrations that connect your internal tools, our operating platforms, and your trading partners under a single point of contact, so your data stays consistent from purchase order to final delivery. Simplify your logistics technology stack with W.M. Stone: one integration partner who understands both the software and the shipment behind it.

Commonly Asked Questions.
Answers to the questions we hear most from shippers evaluating an API or EDI integration with W.M. Stone.
What is the difference between an API integration and an EDI integration?
An API integration connects two systems directly so they can exchange data continuously and in real time, while EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) uses standardized document formats, such as purchase orders, invoices, and advance ship notices, to move transactions between trading partners. W.M. Stone builds and supports both, choosing whichever approach fits your systems and your trading partners' requirements.
Can you integrate with our existing WMS, TMS, or ERP system?
Yes. Our custom integration solutions are tailored to your existing software stack, connecting your warehouse management, transportation management, or ERP platform to W.M. Stone's systems rather than asking you to change how your business already operates.
Will an integration give us real-time visibility into shipments and inventory?
Yes. Real-time data synchronization is core to this service. Shipment updates, inventory levels, and documentation are reflected across your connected systems as they happen, rather than on a delay or a manual refresh.
How do you handle data security during integration?
Our integrations are built with encryption, compliance protocols, and audit trails in place, so your data stays secure and traceable as it moves between systems.
Will the integration still work as our business grows or our systems change?
Yes. We design integrations on a scalable architecture from the start, so adding trading partners, transaction volume, or new systems down the road does not mean rebuilding the connection from scratch.
