SAP to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect SAP with Your HR App

With data integration, new hires, employee changes, foundational data and timesheets move from SAP SuccessFactors into your HR app automatically, through a direct API-to-API connection, and new hires and employee changes made in your HR app flow back into SAP. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain.

With data integration, new hires sync, including your custom fields, along with employee changes. You can also add departments, locations, jobs, cost centers and business units, and time and attendance for hourly and salaried employees. New hires and employee changes made in your HR app flow back into SAP. Flexspring also builds custom integrations for one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks and assessments.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration deploys in 10-12 weeks. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

With data integration, when a hiring manager presses the hire button in SAP, the new employee’s information appears in your HR app automatically — nobody retypes it. New hires and employee changes made in your HR app flow the other way, into SAP.

The best way to connect SAP to your HR app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
