Connect SAP and SW Retail

Connecting SAP and SW Retail for a company could enable the transfer of key business data, such as sales transactions or inventory levels, between enterprise resource planning and retail management environments. This could support more accurate reporting, better inventory control, and improved coordination between back-office operations and retail activities.

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

Why connect SAP and SW Retail?

A company operating both SAP and SW Retail could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange and improve operational efficiency. Without such a connection, users may be required to enter the same information, such as product details or inventory levels, into both platforms. This manual process increases the risk of errors, leads to duplicate data entry, and can result in records that become inconsistent over time. Decision-makers might then rely on outdated or mismatched figures, which can negatively impact planning, reporting, and customer service. If a connection were established, the types of data exchanged between SAP and SW Retail could include sales transactions, inventory balances, product information, and customer records. For example, sales data from SW Retail could be sent to SAP for financial consolidation, while inventory updates from SAP could inform stock levels in SW Retail. The specific data that can be shared depends on what each system allows through its API, and this is 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 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.
