Your SAP stays the system of record. KraftHub is the layer in front of it: enquiry, quote, appointment, site.

That is exactly what it is built for. What it is not: the surface where a customer enquiry at 6:40 in the morning becomes a quote, where a fitter dictates a variation report wearing gloves, where moving an appointment sends a confirmation email. That work happens anyway. Mapping it into SAP means a customising project; leaving it outside means the numbers in SAP are always a day old.

On the left what stays in SAP. On the right what runs beside the system today and gets a surface in KraftHub. SAP stays responsible for - Financial accounting, consolidation, close - Purchasing, creditors, framework agreements - Stock, materials, dispatch - People, time, payroll - Controlling, cost centres, reporting - Compliance and audit KraftHub takes over - ✓Customer enquiry from email, phone and web form - ✓Quote with AI from text, voice, photo, plan and PDF - ✓Appointment, scheduling, customer confirmation - ✓Site: hours, photos, daily and variation reports, signature - ✓Project file with an AI answer and its source - ✓Create e-invoices, capture and file incoming documents KraftHub does not replace your SAP. It takes the work it was never meant for — and hands the documents back cleanly. Integration ## How the two systems come together Three routes, from least effort to most. Route 1 needs no project on the SAP side. 01from day one ### Documents back to finance Outgoing invoices, debtors and documents leave KraftHub in the formats your finance department already accepts. After the export KraftHub locks the invoice against later changes.

Every connection runs over SAP's documented interfaces, never the database. Which of them your business needs is settled in the project — nothing here is prebuilt, and that is deliberate.

This is the part no other trade software vendor offers. MCPJouleSAP Integration Suite Model Context Protocol ## KraftHub as a tool for Joule and your agents SAP's own reference architecture describes Joule as an MCP client, and the MCP Gateway in SAP Integration Suite as exposing SAP and non-SAP interfaces as “governed, MCP-compliant tools”, consumable by any AI agent. For external MCP servers SAP publishes a reference pattern of its own, with requirements for authentication, token exchange and logging. Translated into your business: your SAP assistant asks which fitter is free on Thursday, which quotes are open for a customer, or what report exists for a site — and gets the answer from KraftHub without anyone switching windows. We set the connection up with your IT: which access your assistant gets, and how it authenticates, is your decision, not ours.

The data your audit checks stays one set. 02 ### The gap is closed, not moved What happens in Outlook and Excel today gets structure, history and reporting — in the same place it arises. 03 ### AI without an SAP project Quoting, inbox, project questions and site documentation run with AI from day one — independent of your ERP's release cycle. 04 ### One more tool for your agents If you are building on Joule and your own agents, KraftHub becomes part of that landscape over MCP instead of standing beside it. ## What your IT and data protection need to sign off The documents exist already — no special round, no asking sales. ✓German data centres✓GDPR✓Roles and permissions✓Tenant separation✓Encryption in transit and at rest✓Two-factor sign-in✓Regular restore tests✓Data processing agreement✓Aligned with the EU AI Act ## From first call to rollout 1. 01 First call — management, IT, or both 2. 02 Agree the scope and direction of the interface 3. 03 Test tenant with your master data 4. 04 Pilot with one team 5. 05 Rollout ## What businesses running SAP ask first ### Does KraftHub replace our SAP? ### Which versions are covered? ### How does the data get there and back? ### Is there an off-the-shelf connector? ### What is MCP, and do we need Joule for it? ### Who builds the integration? ### What does it cost? ### Where is the data held? Sources for the SAP interfaces named here: the SAP Business Accelerator Hub (API\_BUSINESS\_PARTNER, A\_BusinessPartner, API\_SALES\_ORDER\_SRV) and SAP's reference architecture on Joule as an MCP client and the MCP Gateway in SAP Integration Suite. Vendor statements are quoted, not assessed. ## A conversation, not a pitch. 45 minutes, with or without your IT. For management we work out what changes day to day and what a move actually involves; for IT, which of the three routes fit your business and what runs without a project on the SAP side. Come alone or bring whoever you need.
