File Formats

World-class data transfer

Why Interoperability Matters

Sharing files between customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders is so common most businesses can't avoid it. Having great data translation tools allows you to open more files with fewer errors and lets you avoid asking for things in another format. Being able to open a huge variety of formats means gives you business flexibility.
