InfiPlex Bridge: drop-ship and EDI-to-API connections for every side of the order

The four programs

Which Bridge is for you?

Each program serves a different seat in the same order flow, and all four run on the same InfiPlex platform underneath. Start from who you are — and if you sit in more than one seat, programs combine cleanly on a single account.

  • Retail Vendor Drop-Ship

    For: retailers & webstores selling vendor products

    Launch or grow a drop-ship program on your own webstore. InfiPlex connects your vendors, keeps their inventory synced to your site, and supports them directly — so your team doesn’t have to.

  • Brand Reseller Drop-Ship

    For: brands & manufacturers with reseller networks

    Let approved resellers sell your products on their webstores and marketplaces while you drop-ship the orders. InfiPlex connects your webstore or ERP once; resellers onboard from there in days.

    Low brand cost · no per-reseller EDI testing

  • EDI to API

    For: vendors selling into EDI retailers

    Serve EDI retailers without running EDI. InfiPlex manages the Target, Costco, Lowe’s, Walmart DSV, and other trading-partner connections; you work in clean JSON through the REST API or the InfiPlex OMS.

How it works

One platform underneath all four programs

Every Bridge program moves the same three things — orders in, inventory out, tracking back — between your trading partners and your systems. The only thing that changes from program to program is which seat you’re sitting in.

Flow diagram: EDI retailers, marketplaces, and webstores send orders into InfiPlex Bridge, which translates EDI to API, routes orders, and syncs inventory. Bridge passes orders out to your ERP, warehouses and 3PLs, and REST API, and returns inventory and tracking back to every partner.

Platform

What every Bridge program shares

  • Test Once, Onboard Forever

    The InfiPlex implementation team builds and fully tests your integration one time — after that, new vendors and resellers connect without another round of EDI testing.

  • Real-Time Inventory Sync

    One inventory pool across every connected partner, with buffer controls that protect you from overselling when stock runs low.

  • 3PL & Warehouse Routing

    Orders route to your warehouses or 3PL partners for shipping; tracking numbers flow back to the retailer or marketplace to close out each order.

  • ERP-Ready

    Connect NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, or the ERP you already run — or skip the ERP entirely and work in the InfiPlex OMS.

  • Direct EDI or Your Existing VAN

    InfiPlex connects direct to trading partners or through a VAN like SPS Commerce or CommerceHub — and direct connections typically cost less.

  • US-Based Implementation & Support

    Onboarding, mapping, and training are handled with you — and InfiPlex supports your vendors directly, which keeps partner programs low-drag for your team.

Frequently asked

InfiPlex Bridge questions, answered

Program-specific details live on each program page. These are the questions we hear most when teams are deciding where to start.

What is InfiPlex Bridge?

InfiPlex Bridge™ is a family of four connection programs built on the InfiPlex platform: Retail Vendor Drop-Ship for retailers running drop-ship programs, Brand Reseller Drop-Ship for brands with reseller networks, EDI to API for vendors selling into EDI retailers, and Data Bridge for development teams that want one REST API across their channels. All four share the same core — order routing, real-time inventory sync, and US-based implementation and support.

What’s the difference between the Retail and Brand drop-ship programs?

The direction of the catalog. In Retail Vendor Drop-Ship, the retailer sells other companies’ products on its own webstore, and the vendors ship. In Brand Reseller Drop-Ship, the brand’s products are sold on other companies’ webstores, and the brand ships. InfiPlex sits in the same place in both — connecting the two sides and syncing orders, inventory, and tracking — but the program you start from depends on whether you own the store or the product.

Do I need to know EDI to use InfiPlex Bridge?

No. InfiPlex manages the EDI relationships — document mapping, testing, and the required document set for each trading partner — and hands you the result as clean JSON through the REST API, or as ready-to-work orders in the InfiPlex OMS. Where a partner requires a VAN like SPS Commerce or CommerceHub, InfiPlex connects through it; where a direct connection is possible, it typically costs less. See direct EDI connections for details.

What does InfiPlex Bridge cost?

It depends on your seat. Retailers pay nothing on the Retail Vendor Drop-Ship program — no start-up or ongoing cost. Brands pay a low program cost on Brand Reseller Drop-Ship. Vendors and resellers pay based on the number of orders they process each month, plus low EDI VAN pass-through costs where a VAN is required. See InfiPlex pricing for current plans, or schedule a call for a program quote.

How fast is onboarding?

Vendors and resellers are typically connected and processing live drop-ship orders in under a week. The heavier lift — building and testing the integration into the retailer’s or brand’s ordering system — happens once, up front, with the InfiPlex implementation team; after that there’s no new testing round per partner. On Data Bridge, an Amazon SP-API connection can be pulling Seller Central orders within minutes of granting access.

Does Bridge work with my ERP and 3PL?

Yes. InfiPlex connects through NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, or another ERP you already run, and routes orders to your warehouses or 3PL providers, returning tracking to the partner automatically. If you’d rather not involve an ERP at all, the InfiPlex OMS gives you the same order and inventory management directly — and development teams can build against the REST API.

Can I combine Bridge programs?

Yes — the four programs are views of one platform, so combining them is normal. A brand might run Brand Reseller Drop-Ship for its reseller network while using EDI to API to serve Target or Costco as a vendor. A retailer might run the $0 Retail program while its development team consumes the same data through Data Bridge. One account, one inventory pool, no duplicate integrations.
