Connect SAP and DPD

Connecting SAP and DPD for a company could enable the automated transfer of order, shipment, and tracking data between the enterprise resource planning environment and the parcel delivery service. Such an integration could reduce manual entry, improve shipping accuracy, and support more timely updates on delivery status for both internal teams and customers.

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

Why connect SAP and DPD?

A company that uses both SAP and DPD could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the automatic exchange of data between their enterprise resource planning and shipping operations. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter order, shipment, and tracking information in both systems. This manual process can result in duplicated data entry, with the risk of errors creeping in as records are updated in one system but not the other. Over time, this could lead to discrepancies between what is recorded in SAP and what DPD holds, causing confusion for staff and customers, and potentially leading to poor decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could enable the transfer of order details, shipping addresses, package dimensions, and tracking numbers between SAP and DPD. This could support more efficient shipping label creation, real-time status updates, and better visibility into logistics. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what SAP and DPD make available through their respective APIs and would be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 DPD 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.
