What is Web Service Call
EFM use SOAP Web Service Calls which is a method of communicating to an application/website and the data it has available.
Why Use Web Service Calls
The purpose of these Web Services is to allow you to create/modify/review your existing order processing system to extend its functionality to include a despatching component for your orders. It is assumed that the data required for creating a consignment will already exists in some capacity within one of your systems and as a result this data can be formatted for the purpose of transitioning order data into consignment data.
