snap and ecosio! The solution to your integration questions!

Brief overview

Do you need deep integration between SAP and your partners? snap and ecosio provide the solution! With our new snapWARE ‘snap ecosio Bridge’ (ECB), we enable easy communication with our partner ecosio (VAN or B2B provider) and bring your company into the age of deep B2B integration with your partners.

Initial situation

The question of whether to integrate processes with partners is now a thing of the past. For many companies, deep integration with their suppliers and customers is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but the key to success. 

The term electronic data interchange (EDI) refers to the exchange of structured electronic documents, whereby EDI does not define a specific technology, but rather represents an interaction between electronic processes, message formats and business document standards. The common goal is the automated exchange of information between IT systems without the need for human intervention. Faster transfer times, lower costs, fewer input errors and shorter throughput times are just some of the advantages of this integration strategy.

Our partner ecosio is a leading provider in the field of B2B integration with expert knowledge of EDI, supplier relationship management and e-invoicing, and can help you with your integration strategy. As specialists in the integration of SAP landscapes, we have teamed up with ecosio and decided to design a simple way for SAP customers to exchange data with ecosio quickly and easily, so that ecosio can take care of B2B and EDI integration for you. The result of this partnership: the snap ecosio Bridge (ECB for short).

The snap ecosio Bridge enables you to connect to the ecosio API in order to transmit electronic business documents (e.g. IDocs) directly to ecosio or receive them from ecosio. ecosio then takes care of delivery to the recipient or, if necessary, conversion into other formats (e.g. EDIFACT, VDA or ANSI X12). The snap ecosio Bridge not only takes care of the technical connection, but also provides you with comprehensive monitoring and the ability to receive and process information from ecosio (e.g. processing status) (e.g. via STATUS IDoc). This allows you to track the status of your documents at any time and stay up to date.
