Web services-based data transfers for item management

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for a web services-based data transfers. A data power component translates a service request in a first format received from a first computing device into a translated service request in a second format compatible with a web service. The translated service request includes converted freight data associated with a set of items structured for storage within one or more database(s) associated with a second computing device. The translated service request is a request to load the freight data onto the database(s). The translated service request is transmitted to the web service. In response, the data power component receives a response from the web service indicating whether the freight data is successfully loaded onto the database(s). The data power component translates the response from the second format into the first format. The translated response is returned to the first computing device.
