OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What expectations and goals did you have when entering the cooperation with Ingold Solutions GmbH?

Creditsafe is constantly growing and developing its business. That’s why we were looking for an SAP Partner to create a Business One Integration to the Creditsafe API that simplifies business operations for companies.

We wanted to offer our solution to those already using SAP Business Pro Van, allowing these companies to access our over 365 online reports and business information directly within their application. Our goal was to reduce workload, accelerate internal processes, and improve usability for these companies.

With Ingold Solutions, we found a partner for this solution. This integration provides our customers with a direct connection to our data. Additionally, Ingold Solutions offers agile customer support, assisting our customers with important application questions.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor, and what were the deciding factors?

We observed a growing need for APIs among our customers. Increasingly, companies want to simplify their processes by accessing crucial data, such as credit scores, directly within their systems.

This is why we are already cooperating with partners for interfaces such as SAP, Salesforce and Microsoft 365.

With Ingold Solutions as our fourth partner for SAP, we were able to expand our API Portfolio. One of the main deciding factors was the high usability of Business Pro Van SAP. During the implementation, we stayed in touch with Ingold Solutions to understand the technologies they would use for our API.

Ingold Solutions, an SAP Silver partner, has worked with many clients and provides a user-friendly solution that is also cost-effective.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used

  • Microsoft .Net Framework
  • C#
  • REST API
  • Creditsafe Connect API

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

During the implementation process, a large team from both sides was involved.

From our side, it was mainly our Creditsafe customer support team. We gathered the desired requirements from the customer side and defined major bullet points for the solutions. In cooperation with Ingold Solutions, we tested the integration in a live environment. We received support from the SAP Project Manager, Technical Consultants and SAP Functional Consultant.

Together with Ingold Solutions, we implemented the integration and launched the Creditsafe API SAP Business One based on customer requirements.
