Description
Are you customer-obsessed, relentlessly focused on achieving high standards, street-smart and analytical, strategic yet execution focused, hungry and passionate about e-commerce, and an experienced entrepreneurial leader with a strong work ethic? If yes, this opportunity will appeal to you.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Application Programming Interface (API) are two different integration technologies that enables Amazon selling partners to programmatically access their data on orders, shipments, payments, and more. While EDI is used for exchanging structured business data between two systems, the Selling Partner API (SP-API) and the SmartConnect API (SC-API) are REST-based APIs used for integrating and communicating between different software applications for real-time data exchange. Applications leveraging EDI, SP-API or SC-API can enhance selling efficiency, reduce labor requirements, and improve response times to customers, ultimately aiding selling partners in growing their businesses.
As an integration specialist for EDI and API, you will have the exciting opportunity to help shape and deliver the growth of EDI and API adoption in India.
