EDIWheel Workorder – The New API for Efficient Tyre Management

New industry standard guarantees seamless and digital communication between all partners

In vehicle and tyre maintenance, businesses face a key challenge: How can service and maintenance contracts be efficiently managed when multiple stakeholders – from tyre manufacturers and service providers to transport companies – need to collaborate? The answer lies in an industry-wide standard that enables seamless digital communication between all partners

Until now, many systems relied on message-based interfaces, which were often too rigid as they typically only facilitated exchange between two partners However, the reality of tyre management is far more complex: a system not only has to manage contract details, but also record data on vehicles, axle assignments and prescribed replacement sequences in real time. This is where the EDIWheel Workorder API comes in. The new API enables direct and dynamic communication between the systems involved. At the same time, the API ensures that maintenance processes are optimally coordinated.

“With this API, we can ensure that service providers, transport companies, and tyre manufacturers always work with up-to-date data – without manual coordination or delays,” explains Jérôme Bodet, project leader of the WORKORDER workgroup at EDIWHEEL. “This not only enhances efficiency but also improves the quality of tyre maintenance.”

Why EDIWheel Chose GEFEG!

Developing such a standard requires not just technological expertise but also in-depth knowledge of existing industry solutions. That’s why EDIWheel chose to collaborate with GEFEG for the specification and implementation of its API.

“We have been working with GEFEG products for years when it comes to standardising EDI interfaces. The ability to transfer our existing XML-based specifications into the world of APIs using GEFEG technology without having to start from scratch was a decisive advantage for us,” says Managing Director Michael Berthel.

GEFEG not only provides powerful tools for interface modelling but also brings extensive expertise in standardising digital business processes. By using the software, EDIWheel was able to ensure that existing specifications were efficiently transferred to the new API standard – a seamless transition from EDI to API without having to reinvent the wheel.

The API as a Milestone for the Industry

The EDIWheel Workorder API is more than just a technological advancement – it sets a new benchmark for digital tyre maintenance. Thanks to real-time communication between the systems of the workshops and tyre manufacturers, maintenance orders are processed faster and more precisely. In addition, compliance with quality standards is also significantly improved. In addition, compliance with quality standards is also significantly improved.

Through its collaboration with GEFEG the API was not only developed on a solid methodological basis, but was also designed to be future-proof. Businesses can adapt it flexibly to their needs while benefiting from GEFEG’s extensive experience in data standardisation.

The publication of this new standard is an important step towards more efficient, more transparent and better networked tyre management. … and the journey has only just begun.
