Interfaces and integration

We connect SAP with your other systems: stable, monitored and documented. So data flows instead of being carried around in files.

Hardly any SAP system stands alone. MES, warehouse management, web shop, planning tools and cloud services all want to be connected, and with every system the number of paths data travels on grows. As long as everything runs, nobody thinks about it. It gets interesting at the first failure.

We build interfaces that survive daily operations: with proper error handling, monitoring and documentation that shows which data flows where, when, and who is responsible. Delivery happens together with our partner Exsapt.

Why clients get in touch

  • Two systems exchange data via a file shareIt works until somebody renames the folder or a file gets read in twice.
  • Failures only surface with the usersThe interface fails silently, and the error shows up days later in the stock figures.
  • A new satellite system is comingAn MES, web shop or planning tool needs to talk to SAP, and the question is which way.
  • Nobody knows the interface landscapeWhat flows where is written down nowhere, and every change is a risk.
Services

What we connect

Individual interfaces or the whole integration landscape.

Connecting satellite systems

MES, warehouse management, quality systems, web shops and planning tools, connected through the right technology.

SAP-to-SAP integration

Data flows between SAP systems and into the SAP cloud world, from IDoc to OData.

Integration technologies

IDoc, OData, REST and the SAP Integration Suite: we choose the technology to fit the task, not the other way round.

Monitoring and error handling

Failures show up in monitoring, not with the users. With clear responsibilities for when something breaks.

Replacing file-based interfaces

Replacing legacy file transfers with monitored interfaces, step by step and without interrupting operations.

Documented data flows

An interface map that shows what flows where. Worth its weight in gold in audits and at every incident.

How we work

From assessment to stable operation

  • Step 1
    Assessment
    Which systems, which data, which frequency: today’s interface landscape at a glance.
  • Step 2
    Concept
    Technology, error handling and responsibilities per interface, agreed with IT and the departments.
  • Step 3
    Build and test
    Development in the Exsapt team, tests with real data volumes and peaks, acceptance with your key users.
  • Step 4
    Operation
    Set up monitoring, hand over the operations guide and accompany the first weeks.
What you get

What good interfaces look like

Built for the failure case

An interface proves itself not in normal operation but at the first error. That is exactly what we design for.

Traceable

Documented data flows instead of knowledge in heads. Still understandable in five years.

Step by step instead of big bang

We replace existing connections in live operation, one at a time.

Questions

Frequently asked

Which integration technology is the right one?

That depends on data volume, frequency and the systems involved. A mass reconciliation overnight needs something different from a real-time query. We decide per interface and give the reasons.

Can you take over existing interfaces?

Yes. We take stock of the existing landscape, document it and first stabilise the candidates that cause the most incidents.

Do we need the SAP Integration Suite for this?

Not necessarily. For many scenarios the built-in tools are enough. The Integration Suite plays to its strengths when many cloud services are involved. We recommend it where it is worth its price.

Contact

Is a new connection coming up, or is an existing one causing trouble?

Describe the systems and the data flow. We will tell you which route holds.
