Areas of expertise

Enterprise combinations we've delivered

Each e-commerce platform has unique requirements; each SAP module does too. Below are the main scenarios we work in, always following asynchronous, secure, and auditable integration patterns.

SAP + VTEX

Ideal for BR/LATAM retail

We integrate SAP ECC and S/4HANA with VTEX via CPI/BTP or middleware on AWS/GCP, covering orders, customers, inventory, table pricing, invoices, and delivery status. Asynchronous patterns, idempotent retries, and automatic reconciliation ensure near real-time consistency in high-volume operations.

SAP + Salesforce Commerce

B2B/B2C multi-brand

SAP ↔ Salesforce Commerce Cloud integration (B2B and B2C) using CPI as hub. Recommended for multi-country, multi-brand operations with strong CRM layer. We cover orders, quotes, contracts, accounts, catalog, dynamic pricing and returns, plus Salesforce Data Cloud integration.

SAP + Shopify

Fast time-to-market

For mid-market operations that chose Shopify Plus, we integrate via CPI or proprietary serverless middleware. Typical scope: orders, customers, inventory, NF-e, connected marketplaces, and fulfillment automation. Ideal for brands wanting fast time-to-market without sacrificing SAP core.

SAP CPI / BTP

Official SAP backbone

We partner to implement SAP Integration Suite (CPI) and SAP BTP. We build iFlows, managed APIs, Event Mesh, integration governance and consolidated monitoring. This layer becomes the backbone for any e-commerce, CRM or marketing automation endpoint.

S/4HANA ↔ Commerce

On-prem, Private or Public

Dedicated S/4HANA integration projects (on-premise, Private Cloud or Public Cloud) with commerce platforms. BAPI modeling, CDS views, OData services, events and authorizations; continuity guarantee during ECC → S/4HANA migrations.

Emarsys in the stack

Omnichannel data-driven

We connect SAP Emarsys with commerce stack and ERP, unifying customer, behavior and order data for omnichannel activation. Segmentations, automations and journeys are based on real, updated data — not manual exports.

Reference architecture

Three layers, zero rigid coupling

The secret to healthy SAP ↔ commerce integration is isolating contracts in an orchestration layer. This way, the ERP evolves at its pace and commerce evolves at its own — neither held hostage by the other.

Use cases

Three critical flows we solve

Catalog & SKU master

Product master in SAP, enrichment via PIM, and incremental sync to VTEX/Salesforce/Shopify with deduplication, versioning, and batch rollback.

Price and promotion

Price tables by channel, list, B2B segment and campaign calculated in SAP and published near real-time. Discount, contract and negotiation rules preserved.

Order, fulfillment and NF-e

Order enters commerce, orchestrates credit, inventory reserve, fiscal and fulfillment in SAP, returning status to consumer with traceable correlation id.

Deep analysis

Why SAP ↔ e-commerce integration is a project in itself

In many replatforming projects, SAP integration is treated as a side task. That's where most problems emerge. SAP is a heavy transactional system with BAPIs, IDocs, OData, CDS views and complex authorization rules. E-commerce, on the other hand, is a highly competitive environment with hundreds of orders per minute at peak and near-immediate feedback demands to consumers. Marrying these two worlds requires a well-designed integration layer with queues, idempotent retries, deduplication, reconciliation and end-to-end observability. CCX Company treats integration as its own workstream with dedicated architecture, squad and deliverables — not as a sub-item of the commerce project.

SAP CPI and BTP as backbone

For customers already operating in the SAP ecosystem, using CPI (now SAP Integration Suite within SAP BTP) is usually the most governable choice. CCX designs modular iFlows with well-defined message contracts, consistent error handling, integrated monitoring and version management. In high-volume scenarios, we combine CPI with Event Mesh and/or external queues (AWS SQS, Google Pub/Sub) to absorb spikes and protect the ERP core. The result is a stable, auditable integration layer that evolves with the business — never a black box dependent on a single specialist.

Proprietary middleware when it makes sense

Not all operations have CPI/BTP active and justify a licensing investment just for a commerce front. In these cases, CCX builds middleware on AWS or Google Cloud using Node/TypeScript, Python and serverless (Lambda/Cloud Functions, Step Functions, EventBridge, Pub/Sub). The middleware covers the same functions — orchestration, queues, reconciliation, observability — at cost proportional to volume with flexibility to evolve. When customers later decide to adopt CPI/BTP, migration is smooth: integration patterns are already mature.

Data, Emarsys and omnichannel activation

SAP ↔ commerce integration goes beyond orders and inventory. Customer data, purchase history, browsing behavior, preferences and consent must flow between ERP, platform, CRM and marketing automation. With SAP Emarsys, we create a unified customer hub where email, push, SMS, in-app and web campaigns are orchestrated with live data. CCX connects Emarsys with VTEX, Salesforce, Shopify and S/4HANA/ECC, and helps model segmentations, journeys, scoring and A/B testing in the company's real marketing cycle.

Observability and continuous operation

Good SAP ↔ commerce integration is one the team only notices when something truly needs attention. To reach this level, we instrument everything: every message has a correlation id, every iFlow/function has latency and error-rate dashboards, every queue has monitored DLQ, every daily reconciliation generates a comparative SAP ↔ commerce report. On divergence, proactive alerts reach the team before customers call support. Post go-live, we offer support models — dedicated squad, advisory or on-call — to keep operations healthy as business grows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Qual é a melhor forma de integrar SAP S/4HANA com VTEX?

A melhor prática atual é usar SAP CPI (Integration Suite) como camada de orquestração, com iFlows dedicados para pedido, cliente, estoque, preço e nota fiscal. A VTEX expõe APIs REST, GraphQL e eventos de pedido/catálogo, permitindo integrações near real-time para operações críticas e batch para dados em volume.

CPI ou middleware próprio: qual escolher?

Se a empresa já usa SAP BTP/CPI e tem licenças ativas, aproveitar é a opção mais rápida e governável. Em cenários menores ou com múltiplas plataformas não-SAP, um middleware em AWS/GCP (Node, Python ou serverless) pode ser mais barato e flexível. A CCX trabalha com ambos os caminhos.

Integração SAP ↔ Salesforce Commerce Cloud funciona bem?

Sim. Usamos conectores Salesforce + SAP CPI e padrões de troca OCI/eDOC para pedidos, contas e catálogos B2B/B2C. Salesforce Commerce Cloud tem APIs abertas e webhooks que cobrem a maioria dos cenários sem necessidade de customização pesada.

E para Shopify Plus?

Shopify Plus também integra com SAP via CPI ou middleware. Para pequenos volumes, conectores prontos (como Celigo ou Jitterbit) são suficientes. Para operações mid/enterprise com customizações, montamos integração dedicada passando por CPI e/ou BTP.

Qual o papel do SAP Emarsys nesse stack?

Emarsys entra como camada de marketing omnichannel, recebendo dados de cliente, pedido e comportamento da plataforma de commerce e do SAP. A CCX conecta Emarsys com VTEX, Salesforce ou Shopify e com S/4HANA/ECC, habilitando segmentação, automação e personalização baseadas em dados unificados.

É possível integrar SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) com VTEX?

Sim, em cenários de coexistência ou de transição. Em projetos de migração Hybris → VTEX, é comum operar os dois em paralelo por um período. A CCX mantém as integrações SAP intactas durante a transição e faz o switchover coordenado no cutover.

Quanto tempo demora um projeto típico de integração SAP + e-commerce?

Para um escopo core (pedido, cliente, estoque, preço, nota fiscal), projetos típicos ficam em 3 a 6 meses. Escopos maiores envolvendo B2B, múltiplos ERPs, data lake e personalização podem chegar a 9 meses.

O CCX atende SAP ECC ou apenas S/4HANA?

Atendemos ambos. Temos projetos em SAP ECC, S/4HANA on-premise, S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition e S/4HANA Public Cloud, integrados com VTEX, Salesforce, Shopify e Emarsys.

Como vocês garantem consistência de pedido e estoque near real-time?

Usamos padrões assíncronos com fila (SAP Event Mesh, AWS SQS ou Google Pub/Sub), dead-letter queues, retries idempotentes e reconciliação periódica. Também monitoramos latência e divergência via dashboards em Grafana/Datadog com alertas proativos.

Tenho um time SAP interno, a CCX entra apenas no lado e-commerce?

Sim, é um modelo comum. A CCX atua na ponta de commerce e na camada de integração (CPI/BTP ou middleware), trabalhando junto com o time SAP interno do cliente em modelo colaborativo.
