THE NEED FOR CONNECTION PLM integration is essential. But how do you make it happen?
What is an API?
API stands for “application programming interface.” It’s a set of definitions and protocols that allows you to use one application’s resources, data, or functionality within another.
Why REST APIs?
REST is the short form of representational state transfer. A REST API, also known as a RESTful API, aligns with REST architecture, the same framework the web uses. As a result, it equips applications to interact with RESTful web services.
CONNECTION THAT DRIVES INNOVATION Build strong connections. Create remarkable products.
Centralize
Leave spreadsheet clutter behind. Trace One’s PLM data integration solutions bring all your product information and repositories together in one place.
Collaborate
Communicate more effectively and increase autonomy by giving teams easy access to all the data they need without sifting through email threads.
Optimize
Optimize imports and exports from your data repositories by choosing which information travels between Trace One applications and other systems.
CONNECTION DRIVES SYNERGY Connect your data securely, seamlessly, and reliably
Trace One APIs deliver reliable, secure connections so you can build synergy and maximize value.
- A uniform interface
- Security and control
- Operational optimization
- Speed and flexibility
A match for market standards
REST is the industry standard for simplicity and maintenance, so we’ve adapted our APIs’ interface to that architecture. Standardized HTTP protocol ensures accurate communication between applications from different systems.
REST standardization also ensures your integrations stay evergreen over time. Update versioning means you can continue using different iterations of our APIs, then migrate to new versions when you’re ready.
Protection for your data exchanges
Our APIs use OAuth2, the industry standard for REST APIs. This design means applications can access the API on behalf of users to make data securely available.
Carrying the data load
Trace One REST APIs streamline operations by clearly delineating your information system and the Trace One server. We handle data storage and curation so you can focus on retrieval and display.
Unlocking agility and adaptability
Our APIs synchronize fast and adapt flexibly to communicate across different repositories from multiple tech stacks. From authentication to requests, they help you operationalize your information exchanges with agility.
KEEP YOUR DATA FLOWING Inbound or outbound, create the data connections you need

CONNECTED AND SECURE Remarkable results demand close connections
Trace One PLM integration makes the flow of information possible to unlock ease of use, synergy, and compliance.
- Integration
- Interoperability
- Compliance
If you already use information systems to manage product data, you can easily send it to Trace One applications. PDM integration simplifies how you send and receive information by synchronizing repositories across ERP systems, Master Data, and more.
Integrate with information systems
- Automatically create and update products in Trace One applications.
- Save time while ensuring data quality.
Satisfy consumers’ need for accurate and transparent product information by making product details available through your e-commerce sites. Retailers are increasingly fulfilling that demand through first-party apps, so Trace One tools empower suppliers to enter labeling information that your retail quality managers can easily validate and publish.
Connect with e-commerce
- Feed your PIM or e-commerce website with labeling information validated by your quality managers.
- Keep labeling information current on your e-commerce website.
Regulatory compliance means you’re responsible for providing consumers with accurate information on product packaging or a dedicated website. At the same time, non-profit organizations are simplifying how CPG providers integrate data for calculating recyclability.
Suppliers enter relevant product information into Trace One PLM, then your retail quality managers validate the data to ensure it’s accurate and up to date.
Comply with regulations
- Avoid data re-entry into other information systems using data your quality managers have already validated.
- Make sure the packaging information on your websites is always up to date.
