Connect SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce

Connecting SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce could enable a company to synchronize product data, inventory levels, and order information between its ERP environment and its online storefront. This would allow for more accurate stock availability, streamlined order processing, and consistent product information across both systems, reducing manual data entry and potential errors.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce?

A company operating both SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce could benefit from connecting these systems to enable consistent, up-to-date information across business functions. Without such a connection, staff may be required to enter the same data in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Discrepancies can arise if information such as inventory levels, customer details, or order statuses are not synchronized, leading to records drifting apart. This can result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, potentially affecting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged between SAP ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce would depend on the needs of the business and the capabilities of each system. Common examples of data that could be shared include product catalogs, pricing, inventory quantities, customer profiles, and order information. Exchanging this data could help ensure that product availability and pricing on the e-commerce platform reflect the latest information from the ERP, and that orders placed online are promptly reflected in back-office processes. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per 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 ECC-R/3 and BigCommerce 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.
