Mendelson Converter is a powerful runtime tool designed for seamless transformation of structured data formats like EDI, XML, CSV, and flat files.

It works together with the Mendelson Converter IDE, an integrated development environment (IDE) that allows users to design, test, and manage conversion projects with ease. While the runtime handles conversions during operation, the IDE simplifies the setup of all necessary logic and mappings.

This dual-product setup provides flexibility and efficiency for enterprises that need robust, adaptable data transformation solutions integrated into their B2B and internal systems.

It’s an ideal solution for companies that need to modernize their data pipelines and eliminate manual mapping tasks.
