Connect SAP Business by Design and Dotdigital

Connecting SAP Business by Design and Dotdigital could enable a company to synchronize customer data, automate marketing communications based on ERP information, and provide marketing teams with access to up-to-date sales or inventory data. This connection could support more targeted campaigns and improve the accuracy of customer engagement activities across departments.

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

Why connect SAP Business by Design and Dotdigital?

A company that uses both SAP Business by Design and Dotdigital could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. Without such a connection, teams might face challenges such as having to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes unnecessary time. Disconnected systems could also lead to situations where customer or transactional records diverge over time, resulting in inconsistencies that complicate reporting and decision making. For example, decisions based on outdated or incomplete information could impact customer communication strategies or financial planning. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged between an ERP platform like SAP Business by Design and a marketing automation tool such as Dotdigital could include contact information, sales and order data, and campaign performance metrics. This could allow for more targeted communications and better alignment between sales, marketing, and operations. Ultimately, the specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system makes available through its API, and this must be determined based on the details of each implementation.

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 Business by Design and Dotdigital 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.
