Not every sync needs to be real-time
Scheduled or event-driven updates can be safer, cheaper and easier to recover.

SAP Integration for eCommerce & Custom Platforms
S/4HANA and Business One connected to Shopify, Adobe Commerce, and custom platforms around your SAP landscape, interfaces, and failure modes.
SAP is where a lot of large Australian businesses run their operations, and it is also where a lot of eCommerce integrations quietly struggle. The APIs are powerful and unforgiving, the data model is deep, and S/4HANA and Business One are genuinely different products with different integration paths. We build the connection between SAP and your storefront the same way we build every integration: designed around the failure modes first, with retries, idempotency, reconciliation, and monitoring, so it keeps working as volume grows rather than falling over the first busy week.

Our integration track record
We run ERP integrations in production against Options ERP, NetSuite, MYOB, and Xero, including a nightly sync of around ten million rows at 100% success. SAP is the same class of integration at the top of the market, and we approach it the same way: design for the failure modes, not the demo.
Capabilities
What we build with SAP
The SAP integration work our senior team most often takes on.
S/4HANA & Business One
These are different products with different APIs, capabilities, and integration approaches. S/4HANA is the enterprise suite; Business One is aimed at smaller operations. We establish which one you run, and what it can actually do, before scoping the work.
Orders, Inventory & Pricing
Orders into SAP, stock levels and customer-specific pricing back out to your storefront, and invoices reconciled. The round trip is what matters: an order that reaches SAP but never reports status back is still a support ticket.
The Right Integration Path
OData services, the SAP Cloud Platform, BAPIs, or middleware, depending on your landscape. Choosing badly here is how SAP integrations become brittle and expensive to change. We pick the approach that fits how your SAP is actually deployed.
Monitoring & Reconciliation
Retries, idempotency, alerting, and reconciliation from day one. With a system as central as SAP, a silent sync failure is not a bug, it is a business incident, so it gets caught before anyone downstream notices.
How it works
A SAP integration built to last
The same approach behind every integration we deliver, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance that follow.
Scope & map
We define the data, events, responsibilities, source of truth, and failure cases across SAP and the systems around it.
Build for failure
We design around real failure modes with appropriate retries, idempotent writes, validation, and reconciliation so a temporary outage does not become silent data loss.
Test & reconcile
We test representative data in a safe environment, verify each data path, and reconcile the expected outcomes before go-live.
Monitor & maintain
Monitoring and alerting start at launch. Our senior team keeps the project context and remains responsible for changes, incidents, and long-term operation.

Straight advice
The simplest reliable integration usually wins.
The right design depends on volume, timing, ownership and what must happen when either system is unavailable.
Choose a source of truth
Each field and business rule needs one accountable owner across the connected systems.
Design the failure path
Retries, logs, alerts and reconciliation are part of the integration—not optional support work.
The Difference
With SAP, the demo was never the hard part.
An SAP integration sits between the customer experience and a core operational system. We design for failure handling, reconciliation, monitoring, and long-term operation rather than stopping when the happy path works.
A common shortcut
Integration as an afterthought.
-
The implementation follows a generic SAP happy path without accounting for the organisation’s specific landscape.
-
No retries, no idempotency. A timeout mid-request duplicates an order or drops it entirely.
-
When a sync fails it fails silently, and with SAP that means a real operational problem before anyone notices.
Our senior-team model
Integration as the specialism.
-
We establish which SAP product and deployment you run, pick the right integration path, and design for volume and failure from the start.
-
Idempotent writes and retries with backoff. A retry resolves to the same result rather than a duplicate or a gap.
-
Monitoring and reconciliation surface failures quickly. Our senior team retains the context needed to diagnose and resolve them.

FAQ
Common SAP Integration Questions
Common questions our team is asked about integrating SAP.
Yes. Orders, inventory, customer-specific pricing, and invoices can all flow between SAP and Shopify, Adobe Commerce, or a custom storefront. The shape of the work depends on whether you run S/4HANA or Business One and how your SAP is deployed, which is the first thing we establish.
They are different products aimed at different sizes of business, with different APIs and capabilities. S/4HANA is the enterprise suite and typically integrates via OData services and the SAP Cloud Platform. Business One is aimed at smaller operations and has its own service layer. An approach designed for one does not simply transfer to the other.
It depends on your landscape. Sometimes a direct API integration is cleanest; sometimes you already have middleware or an integration platform that it makes sense to work through. We choose based on how your SAP is actually deployed and what you already run, not on a fixed preference.
SAP integrations are typically larger projects than a Xero or MYOB integration, because the systems are bigger and the requirements usually more complex. A focused sync is measured in weeks; a full two-way integration with contract pricing and multi-location inventory is measured in months. The scope depends on how customised your SAP already is. Once that is defined, we can provide an accurate estimate.
