SAP
The solution
Smart Data proposed an “offline-first” native mobile application built for iPads and designed to communicate with the client’s SAP environment via RESTful services. The services were hosted on SAP Gateway and integrated directly with their existing custom SAP programs. The approach ensured the new app became a natural extension of their ERP system.
The team delivered
- Native iOS app for field inventory and order entry
- SAP REST service architecture supporting two-system landscape
- ABAP development for SAP-side connectivity
- Offline data capture with delayed sync once internet was available
- iPad GPS integration to confirm store locations
- Secure deployment using Apple Business Manager and enterprise MDM tools
- End-to-end QA, app deployment and post-launch support
Development included wireframing, high-fidelity design and an Agile collaboration process with clear scope control, even as out-of-scope features were added.
The results
