MuleSoft B2B Integration for a Global Logistics Company — EDI Modernisation at Scale

"Partner onboarding speed is a direct commercial capability. Celumai turned it from a constraint into a competitive advantage."

— VP Partner Operations, Global Logistics Company

The legacy EDI platform required manual mapping for each new trading partner. With 200+ new partner onboardings per year, the 6-8 week timeline per partner was a competitive constraint. Major retailer partners were requiring API connectivity that the legacy system could not support at all.

We migrated the EDI processing to MuleSoft Anypoint B2B, building a template-driven partner onboarding framework. Common EDI transaction sets (850, 856, 810) were standardised as reusable API assets. API connectivity was made available alongside EDI for partners requiring it.

Partner onboarding time reduced from 6-8 weeks to 3-5 days. New API-connected partner type unlocked 12 major retail partnerships that were previously unavailable. EDI processing cost reduced by 44%.

MuleSoft challenges in Manufacturing — what we see most often

Businesses in Manufacturing running MuleSoft often face the same underlying issues: data quality problems that compound over time, automation configurations that worked at launch but have not kept pace with the business, and adoption gaps that mean the CRM captures only a fraction of what it should.

The challenge is rarely the platform itself. MuleSoft is capable of handling this complexity. The challenge is the implementation — the data model decisions, the integration architecture, and the process design that determine whether the platform works for the business or against it.

Celumai specialises in MuleSoft implementations and rescues for Manufacturing businesses. If the issues described in this case study are familiar, the causes and solutions are likely similar.
