Inside the Cruise Accelerator: The Thinking Behind the Tool

Some Background

The Cruise Accelerator emerged from a real-world Neptune Software project where VMG helped a client enhance their SAP-based logistics processes with offline mobile capabilities.

Our Solution: Leveraging Neptune's Full Potential

Instead of limiting ourselves to the SAP Edition, we implemented a comprehensive Neptune DXP landscape with a "lean core" architecture that included:

• Streamlined SAP object-specific APIs in the backend
• Full suite of applications in Neptune Open Edition (mobile, offline, adaptive framework, workflow, and PDF capabilities)

This approach created a flexible, composable architecture where SAP solely provides APIs while Open Edition handles the rest of the development.

Key Advantages

• Rapid development cycles with fewer SAP transport requests
• Simplified maintenance with minimal SAP backend changes, bulk of changes happened on the Open Edition esp. for offline mobile app development.
• Future-ready architecture following S/4HANA API standards

This successful implementation revealed the potential for a reusable solution - and the Cruise Accelerator was born.

So, what exactly is the Cruise Accelerator?

A powerful Neptune Software extension that simplifies SAP API exposure through REST, designed specifically for Neptune developers.
