In short, a customized platform that changes with you to give you added flexibility.
Accessible to all stakeholders in the value chain, the “Hub” welcomes you to Generix’s vast collaborative network. Thanks to the interoperability of the solution, 50,000 companies located in 50 countries are already connected, which amounts to 250,000 users and over 10 million transactions. To facilitate the connections among these thousands of users, Generix’s collaborative platform is based on international exchange standards and a catalog of APIs and connectors.
