What Is the OWL API?
The OWL API (Application Programming Interface) allows your organization to automate data exchange between OWL and your internal systems — such as ERP, WMS, MRP, MES, or data warehouses.
Instead of manually uploading files, the API enables system-to-system communication, making data transfer:
✅ Automated — No manual uploads required
✅ Consistent — Reduces errors caused by spreadsheets
✅ Fast — Enables daily or even hourly data syncs
What Can the API Be Used For?
Depending on your setup, your IT team can use the API to:
Use Case | Description |
Send Data Into OWL | Push master data or transaction files (e.g., inventory, sales orders, POs) directly from your ERP. |
Trigger Data Refreshes | Automatically update dashboards without logging into OWL. |
Retrieve Processed Results (Optional) | Extract KPIs, metrics, or exception alerts into your own reporting systems if needed. |
Who Typically Uses the API?
- IT Teams / System Integrators – responsible for connecting ERP or databases to OWL
- Operations & Analytics Leaders – benefit from real-time data without manual effort
- Admins – work with OWL to coordinate credentials and access
No coding knowledge is required to understand the concept — but a technical resource is needed to implement it.

Not Sure If You Need API or Manual Upload?
Here’s a quick guideline:
| If your data changes frequently… | Use API Integration |
| If your process is occasional or manual… | Use File Upload via Admin Console |
