GitHub and SAP share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in GitHub deployments can be read against what SAP recorded in the same hours.
What predictive forecasting uses from each
Predictive forecasting needs enough history to see the seasonal pattern.
From GitHub that means the release calendar. From SAP it means order history by material and region.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
SAP on its own
SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.
Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.
Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
