What you can do with SAP in Sylus

Sylus puts an AI data analyst on top of SAP, so finance and operations teams get answers without waiting on custom reports. Ask "What is our open purchase order value by vendor?" or "How did order-to-cash cycle time change this year?" and get an answer, chart, or dashboard in seconds.

How the SAP integration works

Sylus works with both SAP Business One and SAP S/4HANA, using a read-only user that can only see the data you give it access to. For SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC, it connects through OData services exposed by SAP Gateway, using a communication or service user with display-only authorizations. It reads data from modules such as FI, MM, and SD, and keeps it up to date so dashboards for spend, stock, and revenue stay current.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SAP integration read-only?

Yes. Sylus only reads data from SAP. It never creates, edits, or deletes anything in your account, and you choose exactly which data it can access.

How long does it take to connect SAP to Sylus?

Under 20 minutes. Connect SAP with read-only access, choose the data Sylus can see, then ask your first question in plain English.

Do I need SQL or a data team to analyze SAP data?

No. Ask questions about your SAP data in plain English and Sylus returns answers, charts, and dashboards. When Sylus runs SQL, it shows the query behind every result so your data team can check it.

Is my SAP data secure in Sylus?

Yes. Sylus is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, and permission levels control which SAP data each person or team can see. Permissions are enforced on every query, not left to the AI.

Can I get scheduled reports and alerts from SAP?

Yes. Turn any question about your SAP data into a report that lands in your inbox or Slack daily, weekly, or monthly, and get an alert when a metric spikes or drops.

Can I combine SAP with my other tools in Sylus?

Yes. Connect as many sources as you need and put charts from SAP next to charts from your CRM, finance, and marketing tools on the same dashboard.
