Connect SAP and QlikSense

Connecting SAP and QlikSense for a company using both could enable the transfer of business data from SAP into QlikSense for reporting and analysis. This would involve setting up secure data exchange processes, mapping relevant fields, and ensuring that updates in SAP are reflected accurately in QlikSense dashboards.

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

Why connect SAP and QlikSense?

A company operating both SAP and QlikSense could consider connecting the two systems to enable more efficient data exchange and support better business decision-making. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually re-enter data from SAP into QlikSense, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. This manual process can also lead to inconsistencies, where records in each system drift apart, and business leaders may end up making decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of key business data such as financial figures, sales transactions, inventory levels, and other operational metrics from SAP, which is widely known as an enterprise resource planning system, into QlikSense, which is recognized for its data analytics and visualization capabilities. This could enable more timely and accurate reporting, as well as deeper insights into business performance. The specific data that can be exchanged, and the frequency or method of exchange, would depend on what each system makes available through its API and would need to be determined for each particular case.

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 QlikSense 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.
