Techint Engineering & Construction Case Study
Summary
The company uses SAP as its ERP system to manage operations, including dispatching materials and supplies to work crews from thousands of warehouses across the country. These warehouses perform tens of thousands of dispatch workflows daily, each culminating with forms generated by the SAP system, which are printed and handed to crew members for signing to receive their supplies. The deployment began with a small-scale pilot, hosted in the dbs Cloud, where drafts of the paper SAP forms were digitally replicated, the dispatch workflow was modelled, and the integration capabilities were tested using mock API service endpoints. One of the main reasons the client selected dbs LiveForms™ was the ease with which the solution integrates with SAP’s ERP using web development standards and RESTful API services. Additionally, a bidirectional integration point was quickly deployed, supporting ODATA (POST/GET) actions to automatically pass information between LiveForms and SAP ERP in real-time during the signature workflow.
