ERP & system integration for B2B processes
ECOPLAN connects B2B web shops, customer portals, order automation, and AI applications with ERP, PIM, CRM, and other enterprise systems.
How ECOPLAN integrates
In B2B projects, the essential data, business rules, and processes already reside in the existing systems. At the start, ECOPLAN clarifies which system is leading for what, and uses its data, functions, and processes directly instead of rebuilding them in the shop or portal. This way, nothing is maintained twice or developed twice.
Depending on the system and requirements, integration is done via API, at runtime, or via synchronization. In doing so, ECOPLAN uses the middleware already in use at the customer, e.g. SAP Integration Suite, Lobster, or n8n. If there is none yet, ECOPLAN provides a suitable middleware.

ERP integration
Virtually every ECOPLAN B2B commerce and portal project is integrated with an ERP, because that is where customer structures, prices and terms, product ranges, availability, orders, and documents reside.
Around 60% of ECOPLAN's ERP integrations involve SAP, around 10% each Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, and abas, and the rest other systems such as Oracle, proALPHA, or specialized industry ERPs.
ERP: e.g.
SAP
Multiple ERP systems in one solution
In international or organizationally complex companies, multiple ERP systems often run side by side, depending on country, legal entity, or business unit. ECOPLAN connects these systems so that a shared B2B platform emerges, without giving up local specifics.
At Gühring, 30 websites for more than 20 countries and multiple brands are connected to different ERP systems via one central platform.

SAP integration
ECOPLAN has integrated SAP into B2B web shops, customer portals, and other digital processes since 1993, with experience in SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP Business One. When customers migrate from ECC to S/4HANA, ECOPLAN adapts the B2B solution accordingly.
Integration is usually done via BAPIs. Prices and availability come from SAP at runtime, the shopping cart is validated via Sales Order Simulate and created as a customer order via Sales Order Create. This way, the shop applies the same price determination and the same terms as SAP.

PIM integration
Technical attributes, variants, images, data sheets, and product relationships are often stored in a PIM system. ECOPLAN connects the PIM to the web shop, product catalog, and customer portal, so that product data is maintained in only one place.
The link to ERP data such as item numbers, prices, and availability happens automatically.
PIM: e.g.
Centric PXM
CRM integration
The CRM holds contacts, contact persons, and sales and service information. ECOPLAN connects the CRM with the web shop, customer portal, and service bot, for example so that registrations and inquiries from the shop arrive directly in the CRM and customers see their responsible contact persons in the portal.
CRM: e.g.
SugarCRM
AI integration
AI applications create value when they work with the company's information and processes, for example when a customer asks about their delivery status or an employee prepares a quote. For this, ECOPLAN connects AI applications securely and with permission control to the enterprise systems.
Technically, the integration is done via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol). This allows any LLM or existing AI infrastructure to be connected, without being tied to a specific AI provider. Data and applications are hosted in Germany in compliance with GDPR.
