Real-Time SAP Integration for Global Retail Company

Client Overview

SAP integration played a crucial role in the digital operations of a global leader in sustainable bathroom solutions. Operating across 12 countries and generating a large portion of sales via the Amazon Marketplace, the client relied on SAP S/4HANA as their backend system. However, operational gaps between their e-commerce platform and ERP system were affecting performance, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Business Challenge

Despite their digital presence, the client was facing several bottlenecks in their e-commerce workflow:

• Manual entry of Amazon orders into SAP
• Inaccurate shipment tracking data
• Inventory and pricing mismatches across systems

These challenges led to operational inefficiencies, delays, increased error rates, and reduced customer satisfaction—ultimately impacting revenue and scalability.
