Revising Processes and Saving Time Thanks to a Direct Integration of Autodesk Vault and SAP
The company was willing to replace their old file-based SAP connection with a modern, extensible and direct integration. The new interface would need to support designers in transferring the master data; map several organizational levels; define leading systems for each field separately; allow the transfer of released drawings into SAP (including revision mapping) and reduce efforts to a minimum.

The Integration Between the Vault and the ERP System Optimized the Workflows and Increased the Quality of Product Data Management
There was no integration between Autodesk Vault and their ERP system and the data was transferred manually. IFS did not provide a standard API, so the ERP partner had to provide a custom API. Additionally, the dataset in Autodesk Vault did not align with the data within IFS, due to too many years of manual data transfer between the two system. Also, the Inventor features were not properly used in the past, which led to an unreliable CAD BOM. Personnel changes on the ERP partner side also lead to some delays and refactoring of the provided API.
