By the time a business is running SAP, someone else already handled getting it in place. Our work starts after that: once SAP is live, it still needs to talk to whatever else the business runs, and that's rarely automatic.
The most common pattern is orders and inventory moving in both directions. A storefront or marketplace sends orders into SAP for fulfillment, and current stock levels flow back out to wherever the business actually sells, instead of someone exporting a report and updating a second system by hand.
The second pattern is visibility without access. Sales and support teams need order status, account balances, or shipment history that lives in SAP, but giving every rep a SAP login isn't realistic or necessary. We surface that data inside the CRM or help desk they already work in.
The third is keeping a specialized tool, route planning, field service, a warehouse system that predates the SAP rollout, in sync with it. SAP exposes this through its own integration layer (OData services, IDocs, or its newer Integration Suite depending on the setup), and that's the layer we build against rather than asking anyone to re-key the same numbers twice.
