Why teams connect BetterContact and SAP

Flow BetterContact data into SAP in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into SAP, so SAP always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. BetterContact is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 03 Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.
  • 04 Replicate journal entries and billing documents to a warehouse for finance analytics without loading the ERP.

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where BetterContact faces customers and SAP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP appears alongside the customer in BetterContact, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where SAP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP stays current in BetterContact, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

What you can sync between BetterContact and SAP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

BetterContact objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Company is specific to BetterContact and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Cost Centers to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Business Partners to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and SAP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

BetterContact SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

SAP BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionSAP notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating SAP records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.
