If you run your business with Ostendo ERP we can integrate with your system!
Why integrate with ChemCloud?
An ERP integration can save you time in a number of ways
We can quickly upload all of your Approved Materials, and sync them with your Approved Materials on ChemCloud
You can 'Generate a PO' directly from ChemCloud - this will open up a draft PO in your Ostendo system.
Step 1: Install the Ostendo API
First login to Ostendo with the Administrator account. You must use the administrator account to get access to the Ostendo API.
In the top left corner, click on 'File' then 'API Configuration'.
On the bottom left of the API Configuration pop up you will see an API Service drop down. Click and select install. If an error pops up, completely close Ostendo, reopen it using “Run as Administrator” then do the process again.
Once it has been successfully installed, press OK and it will restart the api service.
Step 2: Configure the API Settings
Set the Service Port number. Your ChemCloud contact will require this for the connection. If you're not sure of the port number, set it to 82 as this is a common service port number for Ostendo.
Also, on this screen, make sure the API service has been started.
Step 3: Configure a link to the Database File
Under Config 0 or Config 1, whichever is not in use, tick the 'Active' check box and the set the data path to the Ostendo fdb file. Your ChemCloud contact will need to know which config number you set this up with.
Once the data path is set, click OK to finish the set-up of this window.
Step 4: Set-up the API User
In the top left, again click on File, then API Service and then Api Security. Click 'Add' on the right and set the Developer name as 'ChemCloud', the Product Name as 'ChemCloud', and an expiry date at least 2 year from today's date. Also tick SQL Allowed. Then click Save to complete the set-up of the API user.
Once you have done this click API Key on the right, do url encode it. Copy the api key and send this to your ChemCloud contact.

Send the following details to your ChemCloud contact:
