Connect SAP Business by Design and SW Retail

Connecting SAP Business by Design and SW Retail could enable the transfer of data between enterprise resource planning and retail management functions. Such a connection could support coordinated inventory management, order processing, and financial reporting, allowing information to flow between the two systems and reducing the need for manual data entry or reconciliation.

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

Why connect SAP Business by Design and SW Retail?

A company using both SAP Business by Design and SW Retail could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange and improve operational efficiency. If these systems remain isolated, staff may need to enter the same information into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and consuming unnecessary time. Without a connection, records in each system could diverge over time, leading to inconsistencies that complicate reporting and decision-making. Outdated or mismatched data could result in decisions based on inaccurate figures, which might affect inventory control, financial planning, and customer service. In scenarios where a connection is established, the types of data that could be exchanged include product information, inventory levels, sales transactions, customer records, and financial data. The actual scope of data exchange would depend on what each system allows through its API and should be defined based on the specific requirements and capabilities of both SAP Business by Design and SW Retail in a given 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 SW Retail 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.
