I need to decide how to handle the following:
someone has made an API that gives access to stuff like suppliers, clients, purchase orders on his server.
I need to get this data and then move it to another system.
I was thinking Id use a servlet, the other person would send a call to it when his data changes and then that would trigger my code to get the new data and send it to the other system.
Should I use Spring for this? can it help?
He will probably have different objects for supplier, client, purchase order etc...
I need to grab the data, run some validations on it and then upload it to another system.
How should I generally design this?

Spring makes that kind of stuff pretty easy imo
in case one of the system makes a request to your service (the thing in question, just create an endpoint there that requests the data from the other service and transforms it)
if you want to run that thing explicitly, you might want to look at Spring batch
