Star Connect

Star Connect is a central EDI communication platform (ESB) for the exchange of electronic data, which uses the free open source tool from Talend. This is a power strip where your applications and the applications of all your chain parties with whom you collaborate can easily plug in to. This has been enriched by Yellowstar with mapping (drag and drop) and dashboards. Mapping ensures that connecting a new party to a standard message can be easily realised and dashboard alerts make it easy to monitor, so that the process continues smoothly. Star Connect is the ‘administrator’ that stores data correctly, safely and in a locatable way in your underlying application landscape. Multiple databases and applications are automatically supported with EDI links for logistical system integration. That gives you the freedom to choose applications that are compatible with your business operations. Pure efficiency!

• Then there is Star Talk for human to human communication, which puts you in direct contact with the right people via direct interaction with chain parties through WhatsApp or Skype, etc. Via this communication protocol you can see exactly who the right person is, through which medium and at what time. This puts you in direct contact with the right person.
