Building Enterprise Digital Application
Building Enterprise Digital Application
ShoppingFresh Application
SCENARIO
Supermarkets are facing digital disruption by the new online business retail business models. Consumer
expects these days features like same day delivery, ability to order groceries and shipment status online.
Shopping Fresh application guides shipment delivery team to optimize their routes, deliver more items on
time to maximize profit and improve customer index.
DETAILS
We will be building the structure of a business scenario, in which, a fictitious company that sells fresh grocery
items has been struggling with Digital Transformation to compete in the new economy and is searching for
new ways to increase its exposure. This company is a global player with several subsidiaries and locations
world-wide selling its products through direct distribution channels.
To make it easier to onboard new partners and channels, they want to open their legacy landscape, ERP, for
Secure, Controlled Access as an API, allowing for the creation of applications by partners (imagine Amazon)
and independent developers (imagine Price Comparison websites), in a self-service manner. To achieve this,
they need to decouple the complexity of their backend systems, from what the Developers will be using to
develop their applications. The answer is to place API Management on top of their SAP system, to give
governed access to the outside world to be able to search their Catalog, and have consumers make
purchases directly. They also would like to create a digital application for their local supply and distribution
team with shows the exact shipment delivery location maintained in their legacy ERP systems with Geo
Maps co-ordinates coming from their third-party map provider.
In this Mission we would be showing you how to build an Enterprise digital application which we call as
ShoppingFresh using SAP Integration Suite API Management. We will be building the API Proxy and
Application focusing on the direct consumer scenario. See below for illustration of Company architecture,
and which part we will be working on.
