Connect SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD

Connecting SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD could enable a company to automate the exchange of order, shipment, and tracking information between its ERP and parcel delivery processes. This could reduce manual entry, improve data accuracy, and help ensure timely updates on delivery status, supporting more efficient logistics and customer service operations.

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

Why connect SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD?

A company operating both SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD could consider connecting these systems to improve operational efficiency and data accuracy. Without such a connection, staff might need to manually re-enter information between the systems, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This manual process can result in inconsistencies, with records in SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD drifting apart over time. Such discrepancies could lead to decisions being made based on outdated or incorrect information, especially if shipment statuses or customer details are not synchronized. If a connection were established, it could allow for the automated exchange of specific types of data between SAP ECC-R/3 and DPD. For instance, shipment orders created in SAP ECC-R/3 could be sent directly to DPD for fulfillment, and tracking updates or delivery confirmations from DPD could be returned to SAP ECC-R/3. This could reduce the need for duplicate data entry and help ensure that both systems reflect the latest status of orders and shipments. The actual data that can be exchanged would depend on the capabilities and interfaces exposed by each system’s API, and would need to be determined based on the specific setup and requirements of the company.

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 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.
