OpenText Trading Grid Cartographer - Kentico Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Trading Grid Cartographer and Kentico

1. Partner Connection Visibility for Kentico-Driven B2B Portals

Data flow: Kentico ? OpenText Trading Grid Cartographer

When Kentico powers a B2B customer portal, it often exchanges order, inventory, pricing, and account data with trading partners through EDI or APIs. Integrating with Trading Grid Cartographer gives integration and operations teams a clear view of which partner connections support the portal, what data flows are active, and which interfaces are critical to customer-facing processes.

• Maps Kentico portal transactions to specific partner integrations
• Helps teams quickly identify downstream dependencies when portal issues occur
• Improves support response for order submission, account lookup, and shipment status issues

2. Impact Analysis for Content or Campaign Changes Affecting Partner Workflows

Data flow: Bi-directional

Marketing or content updates in Kentico can affect partner-facing pages, forms, or commerce workflows that rely on external integrations. Trading Grid Cartographer can be used to assess which B2B connections may be impacted before changes are released, reducing the risk of breaking partner processes tied to promotions, product availability, or order capture.

• Identifies integrations supporting campaign landing pages and partner order forms
• Supports change planning for website releases that touch connected business processes
• Reduces unplanned outages caused by content or workflow changes

3. Faster Troubleshooting for Failed Partner Transactions

Data flow: Kentico ? OpenText Trading Grid Cartographer

When a partner reports missing orders, failed submissions, or delayed updates from a Kentico-powered experience, Cartographer helps operations teams trace the transaction path across the integration landscape. This shortens root cause analysis by showing which EDI or API endpoint handled the exchange and where the failure likely occurred.

• Speeds diagnosis of failed checkout, registration, or account update transactions
• Helps support teams isolate whether the issue is in Kentico, middleware, or partner connectivity
• Improves service levels for customer and partner-facing operations

4. Documentation of Kentico-Enabled Commerce and Partner Ecosystems

Enterprises using Kentico for eCommerce or partner portals often have complex integration landscapes involving ERP, CRM, fulfillment, and trading partners. Cartographer can document these connections in a centralized view, making it easier for architects and operations teams to maintain an accurate record of how Kentico participates in the broader ecosystem.

• Creates a living inventory of partner interfaces tied to Kentico
• Supports onboarding of new integration team members and external support partners
• Improves governance and reduces reliance on tribal knowledge

5. Partner Onboarding for New Kentico Digital Experiences
