We specialize in developing platform independent middleware that bridges multiple systems, ensuring smooth data transfer and business flow completion. Our middleware leverages a diverse technology stack, including Microsoft technologies, C++, Java, XML, JSON, MS SQL, MySQL, Magento, MongoDB and Python.


Using CargoWise’s eAdapter layer, which exposes data in XML format, our middleware interprets and transfers data across integrated systems based on business logic.


Our expertise extends to integrating third party applications such as Tally, XERO, SAGE, Navision and SAP with CargoWise, ensuring seamless interoperability and optimized workflows.


API Protocols and Architectures

APIs enable seamless data exchange using established protocols and architectures that define their operation. The three most commonly used API formats today are:

  • REST (Representational State Transfer) – Lightweight, scalable, and widely used for web-based applications.
  • RPC (Remote Procedure Call) – Focuses on executing functions or procedures remotely across connected systems.
  • SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) – A structured, XML-based protocol for secure and standardized communication.
  • WebSocket – Enables real time, two way communication between client and server over a single continuous connection.

Comparing API Protocols

Both REST and SOAP connect applications using HTTP commands like GET, POST and DELETE. While both support XML, SOAP is XML exclusive, whereas REST offers flexibility with JSON, HTML and plain text for broader compatibility.

  • HTTP Protocols
  • GET , POST , DELETE
  • XML , JSON , HTML
