Adding Prices

Prices are added from SAP ByDesign to product types and their variants in the Commercetools shop using a very unique external ID.

Syncing the Stock

All changes to the product stock are monitored and synced between the SAP By Design ERP and the online shop system to avoid "out of stock".

Customers

Still Not Convinced?

Here is a typical situation which many of our clients faced before choosing elastic.io integration solution.

  • Company has numerous products with different variants to sell. All the product lists, descriptions and details are already in their SAP ByDesign ERP system.
  • Company sets-up a shop system run on Commercetools an e-commerce PaaS (previously known as Sphere.io). Company wishes to sell the products and provide up-to-date information about the product availability, orders, payments and the deliveries.

What options does this company have?

  • They can manually export each product information and then similarly import it to their shop system – not a very practical method prone to errors and complete waste of company resources.
  • It would be much better to use elastic.io SAP ByDesign to Commercetools integration solution which would do all of those tasks automatically for every company and keep all the data in sync all the time – a win-win situation for any company!
