What each tool sees on its ownShow less
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.
Mailchimp on its own
Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.
Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
