What e-integration does

e-integration is a Germany-based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) service provider founded in 1985 and headquartered in Ratingen. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esker (publicly traded on Euronext Paris under ticker ESK) since January 2017, the company serves as the EDI specialist within the Esker Group, offering cloud-based EDI services to mid-to-large enterprises requiring automated B2B document exchange with trading partners.

The company's core product is its cloud-based EDI platform supporting over 70 ERP connectors, 35+ EDI standards and formats, 5,000+ trading partner connections, and processing more than 1.15 million EDI messages per month. The platform integrates generative AI and RPA technologies to extend into Procure-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash process automation, distinguishing it from pure connectivity providers. Complementary product modules include Cloud Solutions (deployment flexibility), Business Process Solutions (managed services/BPO), and Digital Documents (document processing and management). The company maintains 750+ EDI customers across various industries with 30+ years of accumulated domain expertise.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based EDI services and enterprise software solutions (annual billing cycles with quote-based pricing tied to transaction volume, connections, and service levels), supplemented by professional services for BPO and digital document processing. The go-to-market is enterprise-focused, combining direct field sales with consultative selling, complemented by an ERP integration partner program and regional reseller/OEM channels. The company maintains global operations as part of the Esker Group, with active geographic expansion into regulated e-invoicing markets across Europe (Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy) and Asia (Malaysia).
