Connect SAP and akeneo

Connecting SAP and Akeneo for a company could allow product data managed in Akeneo to be synchronized with business processes handled in SAP. This could support more efficient updates of product information, reduce manual data entry, and help maintain consistency between inventory, pricing, and product catalogs across both platforms.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and akeneo around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and akeneo?

A company using both SAP and Akeneo could benefit from connecting these systems to ensure that product information and business data remain consistent and up to date across their operations. Without such a connection, staff might have to enter the same product details separately into each system, which increases the risk of errors and consumes additional time. Over time, records in SAP and Akeneo could diverge, leading to discrepancies that make it difficult to trust the data, potentially resulting in decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, data such as product attributes, descriptions, pricing, inventory levels, and categorization could be exchanged between SAP and Akeneo. This could help ensure that product catalogs are consistent, reduce manual work, and support more accurate reporting and analysis. The actual data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and should be determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and akeneo make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
