What Methods Do We Use to Integrate SAP with Salesforce?
API-based
This method is suited for dynamic sectors like e-commerce, where real-time data exchange, complex synchronization, and scalability are crucial due to high transaction volumes and frequent updates.
File-based
This integration uses binary data transferred via SFTP.
Event-based
Event-based integration enables real-time updates, automated actions, and accurate data synchronization based on specific business events, such as creating a new customer. It’s ideal for industries like logistics, where timely data updates and synchronization are critical.
Batch
Batch processing is suitable for companies managing large volumes of data, such as banks, credit card companies, utility providers, and email marketing platforms. It processes data at scheduled intervals (hours, days, etc.), making it ideal for scenarios where immediate processing is not required.

FAQ
When choosing a method to integrate SAP with Salesforce, there are two primary options: real-time integration (e.g., API-based) and batch processing.
Real-time integration is ideal for businesses that need immediate updates and data synchronization, such as those in e-commerce or logistics. This approach enables systems to communicate instantly, providing real-time accuracy in sales, inventory, and customer information, but may hit system limitations in case of huge data volume.
Batch processing, on the other hand, is suited for companies handling large volumes of data where immediate updates are not required. This method is common in sectors like banking, utilities, and marketing, where data is processed at scheduled intervals, ensuring efficiency without continuous updates.
- Data incompatibility SAP might store product data in a different format than Salesforce (e.g. one system may use product codes while the other uses product names). We prevent this by carefully mapping and aligning data formats, ensuring smooth data transfer and consistency across systems.
- Business process disruptionIntegration can temporarily disrupt workflows. We mitigate this by conducting thorough testing, scheduling updates during off-peak hours, and ensuring configurations are optimized to maintain business continuity.
- Data security risks Transferring sensitive data between systems poses security concerns. We use secure protocols like SFTP and encryption to protect data during transit, ensuring compliance with industry security standards.
- Lack of user knowledge Without proper training, employees may struggle to adapt to the new system. Our team provides detailed training, documentation, and ongoing support to ensure teams can fully leverage the integration and continue their work with minimal disruptions.
A variety of SAP products, including SAP ERP / ECC, SAP Business One, SAP S/4 HANA, and SAP SuccessFactors, can be integrated with Salesforce.
We prioritize data security by using secure protocols such as SFTP and encryption methods. This approach ensures that data is protected during transit and aligns with industry security standards.
- MuleSoft A widely used integration platform for connecting various systems and applications. Ideal for complex integrations with multiple endpoints, MuleSoft offers a unified integration layer, scalability, and extensive pre-built connectors.
- Flow IntegrationSalesforce Flow synchronizes data between Salesforce and systems like SAP ERP. Available in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with Lightning Experience enabled, it provides real-time data synchronization and a unified view of customers and business processes.
- Custom Apex We opt for it when a standard solution doesn’t meet specific business needs. Custom Apex offers highly customized functionality and seamless integration within Salesforce, delivering a tailored solution for unique requirements.
- Vigience Overcast Vigience is a partner specializing in accurate integration of back-office data into Salesforce. It ensures system performance and proactively addresses issues, enhancing reliability and minimizing disruptions.
