Every manual filing step costs money

Documents that are printed, filed in binders or forwarded by e-mail create search time, errors and compliance risk. Direct integration replaces those steps with a single click — audit-proof and traceable.

Cut process costs

Fewer touches per document, no duplicate filing, no printing just to archive. That saves measurable time in finance, purchasing and sales.

Find again in seconds

Documents are attached to the right SAP object — order, purchase order, material document, document info record. No searching through drives or mailboxes.

Audit-proof & GDPR-ready

Standardised filing with metadata and permissions. In your own data centre, in SharePoint or in the cloud (Azure, S3) — you keep data sovereignty.

Products & add-ons

Why direct integration?

No detours, no shadow filing

Indirect routes — print, scan, mail, upload manually — create copies, version chaos and gaps in the audit trail. Direct integration files the original document once, in the right place.

  • Faster cycle times in finance, purchasing, sales and service
  • Fewer errors thanks to automatic barcode assignment
  • One reliable storage location instead of scattered file shares
  • Module-independent: FI, MM, SD, PLM/DMS, IS-U, IS-OIL and more
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which SAP systems do the solutions work with?

With SAP S/4HANA (on-premise and private cloud), RISE with SAP, SAP Public Cloud and SAP ECC. Integration is via ArchiveLink and/or the CMIS protocol.

Do my users need SAP skills?

No. The scan client and Outlook add-on are standalone applications with a simple interface. Assignment to SAP objects runs automatically via barcodes or the subject line.

Where are the documents stored?

Wherever you want: in your own data centre (file system), in SharePoint, or in the cloud (Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3). The CaRD Connector abstracts the backend.

Does this work with our existing archive too?

Yes. Our add-ons are ArchiveLink-compatible and work with all common SAP archive systems — the CaRD Connector is an option, not a prerequisite.

How quickly can a solution go live?

Individual tools such as the Excel export are ready in minutes. Rolling out scan and archive processes depends on your SAP objects and is typically productive within a few days.

Can we trial the solution first?

Of course. We offer a no-obligation online demo and can provide a test installation on request. Just get in touch via the contact form.
