Connect SAP and Timely

Connecting SAP and Timely for a company that uses both systems would involve establishing data transfer processes between the platforms. This could enable the exchange of relevant information, such as scheduling or resource data, and support coordinated business operations by reducing manual data entry and helping maintain consistency across both systems.

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

Why connect SAP and Timely?

A company that operates both SAP and Timely could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data, as this could help ensure that critical business information remains consistent across their operations. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into both systems, which can increase the risk of errors and consume valuable time. Over time, records could become inconsistent between SAP and Timely, making it harder to trust reports and potentially leading to decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as customer details, employee information, project timesheets, or financial transactions, depending on what each system is designed to handle and what the business requires. The specific types of data exchanged would depend on the roles of SAP and Timely within the company’s processes. Ultimately, 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 and Timely 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.
