Aeries Software allows data to be pulled by authorized vendors through the Aeries API to automatically sync with 3rd Party Applications. This eliminates the need for manual CSV transfers or complicated SFTP uploads.
Cardonex connects to Aeries through an API Certificate unless there is a specific need for an SFTP data upload.
