So that software communicates with each other
Our interfaces
In an increasingly digitalised corporate world, we want to ensure that ZEP harmonises with the rest of your IT infrastructure. In addition to our standardised SOAP interface, we are therefore constantly integrating new partners with direct interfaces.
SOAP
Standardised data exchange with the rest of the world
For diverse system connections
SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol and is a standardised, XML-based network protocol that can be used to exchange data between systems and execute function calls. SOAP is an industry standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The SOAP interface can be used in many ways for querying, creating and changing data, among other things:
- Connection to project software for project data
- Connection to HR software for personnel data
- Connection to CRM software for customer and personnel data
- Connection to ticket software for ticket data
- Connection of (hardware) solutions for time recording
Special features
- SOAP interface description (WSDL) directly available in ZEP
- Generation of a token for the authorisation of clients
- Enforce HTTP Digest authorisation for clients configurable
On request, we can provide you with sample programmes for using the SOAP interface:
- Structured import of data from Excel to ZEP
- Standardised retrieval of data from ZEP to Excel
