Quick answer

Smartapp is the only construction management platform with a certified native SAP integration — meaning field cost data, procurement, and contracts flow directly into SAP without middleware or manual exports. For Oracle, Viewpoint, Sage, CMiC, and any other ERP, Smartapp provides pre-built bidirectional connectors and a fully documented open REST API. The result: your finance team's ERP is always current with live field data, and your field team never re-enters data that already exists in Smartapp.

The problem

Construction finance lives in the ERP.
Construction reality lives in the field.

For most large GCs, these two worlds are connected by a spreadsheet export on Friday afternoon. That's not an integration — that's a manual process dressed up as one.

Without native ERP integration
Field cost data exported to spreadsheet weekly — finance sees last week's numbers
Change orders initiated in field, manually re-entered into ERP by office staff
Subcontractor timesheets reconciled separately from project financials
Cost overruns identified in monthly review — weeks after the variance appeared
Two systems with different cost codes requiring a mapping table maintained by IT
With Smartapp ERP integration
Field cost flows into ERP in real time — finance sees live project actuals
Change orders routed through Smartapp approval workflow, committed to ERP on approval
Subcontractor timesheets captured in Smartapp FIELD™, posted to ERP automatically
Cost variances surface in ERP and ORG Central dashboard simultaneously
Unified cost code structure — configured once, shared across both systems

Architecture

How data moves between field and finance

Smartapp sits between your jobsite and your ERP — capturing field data natively and syncing it to whichever financial system you run, in real time, without a manual step.

SAP integration

The only construction platform
that is an official SAP partner

Smartapp's SAP integration isn't a third-party connector or a middleware layer — it's a certified, native integration built through Autodesk's official SAP PartnerEdge programme.

SAP S/4HANA & SAP ECC
Certified native integration · Official SAP PartnerEdge member

PM — Plant maintenance for O&M workflows

"Having Smartapp as a certified SAP partner meant our IT team wasn't building and maintaining a custom integration. It works out of the box — and when SAP updates, Smartapp updates with it."

— SVP & CIO, Gilbane Building Company

For GCs whose IT governance requires certified integrations — not custom scripts — Smartapp's official SAP partnership is a procurement requirement, not just a feature. The certification means the integration is tested against each SAP release, supported by both Smartapp and SAP, and doesn't create a single-developer dependency that breaks when someone leaves the team.


Oracle integration

Bidirectional Oracle connectivity —
Fusion, JDE, and Financials

Smartapp's Oracle connector supports all three major Oracle ERP deployments used by large GCs — with bidirectional sync so both systems always reflect the same project financial reality.

Open REST API

Any ERP. Any system.
Full documentation. No gatekeeping.

If your ERP isn't SAP, Oracle, or Viewpoint, Smartapp's fully documented REST API gives your IT team everything they need to build a bidirectional integration with any financial or operational system.

Smartapp's API is RESTful, JSON-based, and follows OpenAPI 3.0 specification. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. Webhooks are available for all major data events — cost postings, change order approvals, safety incidents, daily report submissions — so your ERP can react to field events in real time rather than polling for changes.

Example · POST cost transaction to ERP
# Webhook payload sent by Smartapp when a field cost is approved
# Your ERP endpoint receives this and posts to the relevant cost centre

POST https://your-erp.com/api/v1/cost-transactions
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "event": "cost.approved",
  "project_id": "PRJ-2026-0412",
  "transaction": {
    "type": "labour",
    "amount": 14850.00,
    "currency": "USD",
    "cost_code": "03-210-00",   // maps to your ERP WBS element
    "period": "2026-05-26",
    "description": "Concrete crew · Level 3 pour · Gilbane TX Data Center",
    "approved_by": "j.rodriguez@gilbane.com",
    "approved_at": "2026-05-26T17:42:00Z"
  },
  "erp_metadata": {
    "sap_wbs": "P-2026-TX-0412.3.210",     // optional: SAP WBS element
    "oracle_task": "CONC-STRUCT-L3",        // optional: Oracle project task
    "cost_centre": "CC-2026-TX-412"
  }
}

The erp_metadata object allows your integration to pass through ERP-specific identifiers alongside Smartapp's native cost code — so the same webhook payload can serve both a SAP WBS element and an Oracle task code without requiring separate event streams.

Implementation

From kickoff to live ERP sync
in four steps

Smartapp's integration team handles the ERP connection — your IT team reviews and approves, not builds from scratch.

1
ERP assessment & cost code mapping
Smartapp's integration team reviews your ERP structure — WBS hierarchy, cost codes, cost centres, and chart of accounts. A mapping document is produced that defines how every Smartapp cost category maps to your ERP's financial structure. This mapping is configured once and applies to every project.
Output: cost_code_mapping.json · Reviewed by your IT and finance teams
2
Connector configuration & sandbox testing
For SAP and Oracle, Smartapp deploys the certified connector into your environment. For other ERPs, the open API is configured against your endpoints. All flows are tested in a sandbox environment — synthetic transactions posted, processed, and verified in the ERP before any live data is touched.
Typical duration: 2–4 weeks for SAP / Oracle · 1–2 weeks for API integrations
3
Pilot project go-live with parallel tracking
One pilot project runs in Smartapp with the ERP integration live — but your team also runs the old process in parallel for 2–4 weeks. This lets you compare Smartapp's postings to your existing reconciliation process and catch any edge cases before full deployment.
Confidence check: Smartapp postings vs manual process — validated side by side
4
Full portfolio rollout — manual process retired
Once the pilot is validated, all active projects are onboarded to Smartapp with the ERP integration active. The Friday spreadsheet export process is retired. Finance has live project cost visibility in the ERP. Field crews never re-enter data. IT maintains one integration, not seven.
End state: zero manual exports · Real-time ERP visibility · One integration to maintain

FAQ

ERP integration questions

Does Smartapp's SAP integration work with both S/4HANA and the older SAP ECC?

Yes. Smartapp's certified SAP integration supports both SAP S/4HANA (cloud and on-premise) and SAP ECC 6.0. The core CO/PS, MM, and FI module connections work across both versions. If you are mid-migration from ECC to S/4HANA, Smartapp can be configured to work with both during the transition period without requiring a separate integration project.

Who maintains the ERP integration when SAP or Oracle releases updates?

For the SAP integration, updates are maintained jointly by Smartapp and SAP as part of the PartnerEdge programme — your IT team is not responsible for keeping the integration current with SAP releases. For Oracle and other connectors, Smartapp's integration team manages compatibility updates. You are not building or maintaining a custom integration that breaks when your ERP vendor ships a new version.

How does Smartapp handle different cost code structures across different ERP systems?

Smartapp uses a cost code mapping layer configured during implementation. Your ERP's cost structure — whether that's SAP WBS elements, Oracle project tasks, or Viewpoint cost codes — is mapped to Smartapp's internal cost categories once, at the company level. Every project inherits this mapping automatically. Field workers use Smartapp's cost codes; the ERP receives transactions tagged with its own native identifiers.

Can Smartapp integrate with a custom or in-house built ERP?

Yes. Smartapp's open REST API (OpenAPI 3.0, OAuth 2.0) supports integration with any system that can send and receive HTTP requests. Smartapp provides full API documentation, a sandbox environment, and webhook events for all major data flows. Your IT team builds the integration against your custom ERP's endpoints; Smartapp's integration team provides technical support throughout.

Does the ERP integration work for operations and maintenance (O&M) projects, not just construction?

Yes. Smartapp's SAP integration includes SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) module connectivity for O&M workflows — work orders, preventive maintenance, and asset management data can flow bidirectionally between Smartapp and SAP PM. This is particularly relevant for GCs who manage both construction and ongoing O&M for facilities like data centers, healthcare campuses, and industrial plants.

Is the Smartapp ERP integration available on all Smartapp plans?

ERP integration is included in Smartapp ONE (the full enterprise platform) and is available as an add-on for FINANCE module subscribers. The open REST API is available on all enterprise plans. For SAP and Oracle, implementation support from Smartapp's integration team is included in the enterprise contract. Contact Smartapp's sales team for a custom scope of work for your specific ERP environment.
