SAP and Sitefinity Shopping Cart Integration for a Leading Science and Technology University

Shopping Cart with SAP and Internal Systems Integration in Sitefinity for a Leading Science and Technology University in the Middle East

How Eveliko built a Sitefinity-based shopping cart integrated with SAP and internal university systems for a leading Science and Technology University in the Middle East - enabling faculty members to request purchases with full cost centre management, internal number validation, LDAP authentication, and precise accounting and order tracking.

No Integrated Purchase Request System for Faculty - SAP Under Strict Security, Requiring Middleware and Full End-to-End Implementation

No Streamlined Purchase Request Process for Faculty Members

The university lacked an integrated system to allow faculty members to request purchases efficiently. The absence of a dedicated solution meant the procurement process was manual, disconnected from financial systems, and difficult to track - creating inefficiencies in budget management and order processing.

SAP Integration Complexity Due to Strict Security Constraints

The university's SAP installation was subject to strict security measures, making direct integration with Sitefinity impossible without an intermediary layer. This required a middleware approach - handled by the client's internal development team - adding coordination complexity to the project.

Financial Accuracy, Cost Allocation, and User Access Management

The solution needed to support internal number tracking and validation for financial accuracy, cost centre allocation for budget management, and LDAP-based authentication so faculty could access the system using their existing university credentials - all while remaining easy to use.

End-to-End Sitefinity Shopping Cart Implementation

Eveliko took ownership of the entire Sitefinity-side implementation - from product listings through to order processing and tracking - building a user-friendly ordering experience for faculty members that simplified procurement and improved operational efficiency.

SAP Integration via Middleware

Given the strict security constraints around the university's SAP installation, the integration was designed using a middleware approach. Eveliko coordinated with the client's internal development team, who handled the middleware layer, enabling seamless data flow between Sitefinity and SAP without compromising security.

Internal Number Tracking, Validation, and Cost Centre Management

A system for tracking and validating internal numbers was built into the solution to guarantee financial accuracy. Cost centre management was also implemented, enabling the university to allocate costs to the appropriate departments and streamline budget management and resource allocation.

LDAP Integration for Seamless Faculty Authentication

Faculty members were given seamless access to the shopping cart using their existing LDAP server credentials, removing the need for separate login management and enhancing both security and convenience for end users.

Accounting and Order Tracking for Financial Accountability

The solution provided the university's accounting team with precise order tracking capabilities, ensuring financial accountability and improving reporting accuracy across all procurement activity processed through the platform.
