How much revenue is your sales team losing because Sales and ERP aren’t in sync?

Salesforce Sales Cloud is the leading cloud CRM platform for sales, service, and pipeline management. SAP S/4HANA is the intelligent ERP suite for finance, supply chain, and operational processes. Together, they form the backbone of modern B2B enterprises, yet they often run in isolation.

The Salesforce Sales Cloud SAP S/4HANA Integration connects both worlds in real-time: Accounts, Opportunities, Products, Prices, Orders, and Invoice Status flow bidirectionally between CRM and ERP. Your sales team works with actual prices from SAP, won deals automatically become orders, and Finance sees the pipeline in SAP. No manual transfers, no system breaks, no outdated data.

Where does the Salesforce SAP S/4HANA connector pay off?

From Sales to Finance to IT: This interface accelerates the entire lead-to-cash process.

Keep Accounts and Business Partners synchronized. Customer master data from SAP S/4HANA is maintained as Accounts in Salesforce, with changes flowing bidirectionally. Sales works with validated data, Finance has no duplicates, and everyone sees the same customer view.

Automatically convert Opportunities into Orders. As soon as a deal is won, it’s created as a Sales Order in SAP, including line items, prices, and taxes. The order confirmation automatically appears in the Salesforce record. No copy-paste, no delays, no frustration in inside sales.

Use Products and Prices from SAP. Material masters, price books, and customer-specific conditions are pulled from SAP S/4HANA and continuously updated. Sales creates quotes with real prices, margins are accurate, and controllers don’t need to make corrections.

Live Order and Invoice Status in CRM. Salesforce shows where the order stands: in process, shipped, invoiced, paid. Sales can inform customers immediately, Customer Success Managers see open invoices, and nobody needs to check the ERP.

Align Pipeline Forecasts with SAP data. Forecast data from Salesforce meets actual bookings from SAP. You identify earlier whether the pipeline is realistic or if opportunities are stalling. Fewer surprises, better planning.

Make Open Items and Payment Behavior visible. Invoice status and open items from SAP FI are displayed directly in the Salesforce Account. Sales and CSM see who pays on time and where follow-up is needed. Proactive receivables management instead of dunning surprises.

From Integration to Results

The use cases on this page are not theoretical, but implementing them requires experience. You can set up integration and data management yourself through MARINI’s no-code interface, or have our team configure it for you. For implementation in your systems, we work collaboratively with you and your service providers. If you don’t yet have a suitable service provider, we’re happy to recommend an appropriate partner from our network.

Why should executive leadership invest here?

For: C-Level, Executive Management, Business Development

Faster Time-to-Revenue. The lead-to-cash process runs end-to-end: from Opportunity in Salesforce to Invoice in SAP, without manual steps. This means shorter sales cycles, less administrative friction, and faster cash flow. You gain time and liquidity.

More reliable Forecasts. Pipeline data from Salesforce meets order entries and bookings from SAP. You identify earlier whether forecasts are realistic, where bottlenecks exist, and which measures are working. Informed decisions instead of gut feeling.

Scalable Processes. The integration grows with you: New products, additional sales regions, or Custom Objects in Salesforce can be flexibly integrated. You’re building infrastructure that supports growth instead of limiting it.

What changes in daily operations?

For: Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Operations

Sales works with real prices. Instead of relying on Excel or outdated price lists, Sales sees current prices and conditions from SAP in Salesforce. Quotes are accurate, margins are correct, and renegotiations are eliminated. You save time and avoid errors.

Order confirmations arrive automatically. As soon as the deal is won in Salesforce, the order is created in SAP and the confirmation lands in the CRM. You don’t need to manually transfer anything, customers get faster feedback, and inside sales has capacity for more important tasks.

Customer Success sees Invoice Status. Open items, payment receipts, and delivery status are directly visible in the Salesforce Account. No back-and-forth with Finance, no surprises during customer conversations. You can proactively follow up or upsell when the payment has cleared.

Campaign ROI becomes measurable. When Opportunities with campaign data from Salesforce convert into SAP orders, you see which marketing activities actually generate revenue. Attribution works end-to-end, and budget decisions are based on facts instead of assumptions.

How does this work technically?

For: IT, Development, System Architects, Admins

OData and REST APIs working together. SAP S/4HANA delivers data via OData endpoints, Salesforce offers REST and Bulk APIs. MARINI orchestrates bidirectional communication, transforms data formats, and maps fields automatically. No complex middleware setup required.

Real-time synchronization via Platform Events. Salesforce uses Platform Events and Change Data Capture for real-time triggers. MARINI responds to these and immediately pushes changes to SAP. Conversely, SAP documents are synchronized via webhook or polling. You choose between real-time and batch.

Custom Objects and Custom Modules fully supported. Whether standard objects like Accounts and Opportunities or Custom Objects in Salesforce: MARINI maps all fields and relationships. SAP Custom Tables and extended Business Partner structures are also integrable. Flexibility without limits.

Connect On-Premise SAP without installation. Many S/4HANA installations run on-premises. MARINI connects via secure VPN tunnels or Cloud Connector, without requiring you to install agents in the SAP system. ISO 27001-certified EU hosting ensures GDPR-compliant data processing.

Maximum Security and Stability

Business-critical data deserves maximum reliability. At MARINI, security isn’t an add-on—it’s our lived standard. Our security architecture at a glance:

  • GDPR-compliant and legally secured (including Swiss revDPA)
  • ISO 27001-certified data centers
  • Multiple daily backups across multiple locations
  • Incident response and recovery plans

This keeps your central data infrastructure stable, protected, and scalable at all times. Together, we’ll find the right integration and tailor it precisely to your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about Salesforce SAP S/4HANA Integration

Typically, Accounts and Business Partners, Contacts, Opportunities and Quotations, Products and Material Masters, Price Books and Conditions, Sales Orders, Deliveries, Invoices, and Open Items are synchronized. Depending on the use case, also Custom Objects from Salesforce and Custom Tables from SAP.

Yes, MARINI can connect On-Premise SAP S/4HANA systems via secure VPN tunnels or SAP Cloud Connector. You don’t need to install any software in the SAP system, the connection is made through existing APIs. On-premises installations can also be connected.

For a quick integration with basic mapping on main entities, we estimate about 3 days from functional access credentials. This typically covers Accounts, Contacts, and basic address data. More complex scenarios with product catalog, pricing, and order integration take a few weeks depending on scope.

This depends on the data type. SAP S/4HANA is typically the master for product master data, prices, financial data, and operational documents like orders and invoices. Salesforce leads for sales activities, pipeline management, and customer service cases. MARINI maps bidirectionally and resolves conflicts rule-based.

Yes, fully. Custom Objects in Salesforce and Custom Modules or Custom Tables in SAP S/4HANA can be synchronized just like standard objects. MARINI offers flexible mapping, field rules, and validation for all data structures, whether standard or individually extended.

MuleSoft belongs to Salesforce and is an enterprise iPaaS platform with broad scope. MARINI focuses on specific use cases, offers faster implementation, and a simpler no-code interface.
