the problem

How fast do you hear when something breaks?

Something shifted last Tuesday, and nobody noticed until Friday. By then you had lost five days of bookings. The data to catch it was there the whole time.

How askotter handles it

askotter reads SAP and Slack side by side, so it can catch changes in your numbers within minutes.

A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our digital marketing services work.

matching the records

How SAP and Slack records line up

SAP and Slack share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in SAP sales documents can be read against what Slack recorded in the same hours.

What anomaly detection uses from each

Anomaly detection needs a steady daily series with a known normal range.

From SAP that means daily order intake by sales organisation. From Slack it means the channel where alerts are delivered.

Slack is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.

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.

Slack on its own

Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.

Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.

Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.

How is askotter's Anomaly Detection different from what SAP shows on its own?
