Welcome to the Sana Commerce Cloud installation guide for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. SAP is one of the world’s leading providers of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, enabling companies to manage business operations across finance, logistics, manufacturing, and human resources.

SAP ECC has long been the core of SAP’s ERP offerings, widely used across industries to support business-critical processes. SAP S/4HANA is the next-generation ERP suite from SAP, built on the high-performance HANA database and designed for real-time data processing and a modern user experience. While SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA differ in architecture and capabilities, Sana Commerce Cloud integrates with both systems through a shared, unified approach.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for installing the Sana Commerce Cloud application into your ERP system, which is designed to seamlessly integrate with it. As a powerful frontend, the Sana webstore connects directly to the data and business logic of SAP. This ensures your online business operations are always in sync with your backend processes, providing a single, reliable source for all your data.

Benefits of Real-Time Integration

Sana Commerce Cloud's integration with SAP enables real-time communication between your webstore and your ERP system. This means that data such as product information, stock levels, pricing, customer and order details are always up-to-date. This eliminates the need for manual data transfers, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures that your customers always have access to the most current and accurate information. By connecting the two systems in real-time, you can provide a superior customer experience and improve the efficiency of your business operations.

Security

Sana Commerce Cloud is designed with a strong focus on security. The integration with SAP is built on a secure foundation, ensuring that your sensitive business data remains protected. All interactions between the two systems occur via the web service over HTTPS, ensuring that data is encrypted during transit, establishing a trusted and secure connection. This ensures that only authorized access is granted to your webstore and ERP data, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your information throughout the sales process.
