Third Party Integrations** - Adobe for conversion to PDFs - Pacejet for rate shopping and shipping optimization - Direct integration with UPS and FedEx Shipping - Avalara Sales Tax Software - [CADLink](https://www.visualsouth.com/cadlink) for CAD integration with CloudSuite Industrial and all leading CAD applications - Various EDI translators ### [See Infor CloudSuite Industrial in action](https://www.visualsouth.com/cloudsuite-industrial-syteline-demo-gallery)   ### Infor CloudSuite Industrial can be integrated with virtually any system Infor CloudSuite Industrial also comes with open APIs, as well as Infor ION (Intelligent Open Network) for integrating with your business systems and applications. The Infor ION platform converts data into the common language of standardized XML, allowing for easy integration. Infor has incorporated its own applications, such as Infor XM and EAM, leveraging Infor ION for seamless compatibility. Infor CloudSuite Industrial also uses the native toolset for point integrations, including Infor CPQ, and other business systems, such as CADLink, Avalara, and other third-party tools. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is designed with Infor Mongoose, which is a development framework that makes it easier for the user to extend functionality with .Net code as well as extensibility with your current business systems. According to Infor CloudSuite Industrial version 10.x Solution Overview Guide, Infor CloudSuite Industrial provides additional integration abilities including: - **From external applications to CloudSuite Industrial** - Synchronous from external applications, by SOAP Webservice, REST Service, .NET Class, documented XML schema. Also asynchronous from external applications, by ION or IDO Request XML over HTTP. - **From CloudSuite Industrial to external applications** - Synchronous, by adding .Net code as an IDO extension class, and a call from CloudSuite to external application web services. Also asynchronous, by ION or IDO Request XML over HTTP. The industry-leading technology provided within the Infor Mongoose development set and the Infor ION framework allows for virtually any other ERP or ERP-supporting application to be, at worst, lightly interfaced with CloudSuite Industrial, but more typically the end result is a tight integration. This is for both existing or legacy business systems where communication between the systems is required.
