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 Zendesk 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 Zendesk records line up

SAP and Zendesk both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.

SAP and Zendesk both keep a company record. The match runs on the company's web domain first and falls back to a cleaned company name.

Shared between the two: the customer email address and the company or account.

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 Zendesk it means new tickets per hour by tag.

Zendesk 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.

Zendesk on its own

Zendesk sees the complaint and how it was handled. It cannot see what the customer is worth or whether they bought again.

Timing. Zendesk timestamps every ticket, reply and status change.

Access. The Zendesk Support API with a read-only token.
