Having initially connected their Adobe Commerce e-commerce platform with standalone accounting software, Pelican Products faced finance and inventory management errors. To tackle this issue and optimise their digital experience, they decided to integrate their e-commerce platform with their ERP, SAP ECC. To help with this, they enlisted Corra, a renowned system integrator in the United States.
In their quest to integrate SAP ECC with Adobe Commerce, Corra discovered the Alumio integration platform. Apart from bringing over 10 years of experience in developing ERP integrations to the project, Alumio enabled Pelican Products with its unique SAP API Plugin solution. The plugin significantly simplifies and speeds up SAP integrations with B2C, B2B, and D2C applications. In close collaboration, Alumio, Corra, and Pelican Products meticulously approached the project to deliver the integration.
Building an SAP ECC integration with an e-commerce platform such as Adobe Commerce is challenging. This is because SAP ECC is an on-premises system, and by default, it lacks key B2B & B2C API points required to integrate with e-commerce SaaS and cloud apps effectively.
Alumio helped Pelican Products avoid what would usually be a long and expensive bespoke integration project. Using the Alumio API Plugin, they were able to directly install the required API points natively in SAP ECC, enhancing its integration capabilities. After configuring the SAP API Plugin, creating the full-blown Adobe Commerce to SAP ECC integration via the config-first Alumio integration platform was significantly easier for Corra.
The integration running through the Alumio iPaaS led to a more optimised and real-time e-commerce experience, giving Pelican Products centralised control over their data. This resulted in transparent, reliable, and real-time inventory levels.
Now, when an order is placed on the Pelican Products website, product availability and prices are synchronised and updated with the latest data available on the ERP. Detailed product information, real-time insights, and stock management are just some of the many other benefits resulting from the integration. More importantly, a proper order process was created to ensure real-time delivery and shipping updates to help their returns process, significantly improving the digital commerce experience for Pelican Products.
