SAP Sales Cloud
The buyer is changing. In the digital economy customers don’t rely on salespeople to inform them about
products and services. They turn to online information, communities and social networks. More than half of the
buying process is complete before a salesperson is involved.
To meet the demands of today's customers you need to know them inside out. They all come from different
industries, have different preferences and face unique challenges. What’s more, in the emerging business
landscape change is the norm. Trends emerge and products become celebrities, so you need to find new ways to
stay relevant and compelling every day.
That’s why we created SAP Sales Cloud. Built with mobile in mind, our AI-powered CRM platform can set your
sales team free to lead the pack in this fast-changing world. Empower your salespeople to personalize buyer
engagement, guide them to close more deals faster and align their behavior to your business goals with
integrated lead-to-cash process. With deal level insights into sales forecasts and pipelines, sales managers can
coach their team on the “next best” actions needed to convert prospects to customers. SAP Sales Cloud makes it
easy to take information from silos in the front and back office and put it in the hands of frontline sales teams.
Pull everything you need to make selling a success into one place and take the daily grind out of data and admin
work. With SAP Hybris Sales Cloud, your sales teams get the data and information they need in one solution,
available wherever they are, on any device and on every platform, so they can make every interaction count.
Our advanced mobile cloud CRM solution means they spend more time selling and thinking of new, creative
ways to sell – and less on admin. All that organized, easy-to-digest data means they get to know the customer
better, too. So your relationships with your customers get stronger and last longer.

close successfully, with each one given a number based on similar opportunities that have led to a sale
in the past. The higher the number, the higher the chance of success.

right people are on the right deal.

Take a holistic approach to ensuring your sales reps are set up for success. With territory and quota planning,
forecast optimization, and prescriptive analytics, our sales performance management solutions help your sales
reps sell more.
It starts with setting your sales reps’ territories and quotas based on data, not gut feel. Once territories are set
up for success, use data to ensure forecasts are accurate and based on historical performance trends, combined
with your sales reps’ activity on deals. Finally, make sure your sales compensation plan is driving the right
behaviors to drive the right results.

Architecture and Technology
SAP Hybris Cockpits
These cockpits serve as a base for a variety of components used in the Hybris applications. Some are further
defined below.
Backoffice Cockpit
The new generation Hybris backoffice application (version 6.0 and up), the backoffice replaces the HMC cockpit,
it offers more flexibility than the former cockpit framework and a nicer UI. This tool has just become the largest
and most recent cockpit. It will replace the HMC in the near future and other cockpits in the distant future.
The Backoffice Administration Cockpit for SAP Hybris Commerce is an administrative tool to help you run your
business efficiently. It enhances the capabilities of the Backoffice UI Frame-work, providing ready-to-use,
reusable components that enable you to build custom business tools tailored to specific user needs, simplifying
administrative tasks.
To access the backoffice : http://localhost:9001/backoffice/login.zul (Replace localhost with your Hybris domain
name or ip address if it’s not a local server).
40
• Everything can be done from the backoffice application (when connected as an admin)
• The ybackoffice extension template is used to generate a custom extension within which you implement
your own components. These components are then reusable in the Application Orchestrator and in the
Web application of the backoffice extension
In Hybris, the entire UI of the storefront is managed through WCMS concept. These different terms are used in
WCMS for defining the UI structure of the site:
• Page Template: Page template defines the blueprint or the layout of the pages.
• Content slot name: It’s the name of the content slot which basically defines the position within a page
template.
• Content slot: It contains the list of CMS components, hence it’s called as a container of the components.
• Page: It’s the actual web page which displays the information on the site.
• Component: Component often called as CMS component which holds the small chunk of information in
WCMS.
To access the WCMS cockpit: http://localhost:9001/cmscockpit/index.zul (Replace localhost with your Hybris
domain name or ip address if it’s not a local server).
41
o In the center, you have the Browser area, which is used to manage web content for all the channels.
You can add Top Header, Bottom Header and Footer.
• Cockpit Area
o On the right hand side, you have the Cockpit area.
To access the CS cockpit: http://localhost:9001/cscockpit/login.zul (Replace localhost with your Hybris domain
name or ip address if it’s not a local server).
42
• Customer service agent sees the same information as the customer
• Order / Ticket / Customer management
To access the PCM cockpit: http://localhost:9001/productcockpit/login.zul (Replace localhost with your Hybris
domain name or ip address if it’s not a local server).
The PCM lets product managers build, manage and publish product data in a single platform. You can see it as a
single platform where all data about products is centralized, which results in consistent content across multiple
channels.
Import Cockpit
Allows you to define import mappings using intuitive graphical user interface tool.
To access the Import cockpit: http://localhost:9001/importcockpit/login.zul (Replace localhost with your Hybris
domain name or ip address if it’s not a local server).
43
HAC Cockpit (Hybris Administration Console)
Hybris admin console, an administration Web page provided by the hac extension, provides functionality for
administration, monitoring, and configuration of the hybris Commerce Suite. In addition, it links to the
documentation resources for the hybris Commerce Suite. Meant for technical profiles, like developers and
system administrators.
To access from localhost, http://localhost:9001/hac (Replace localhost with your Hybris domain name or ip
address if it’s not a local server).
To access from localhost, http://localhost:9001/hmc/hybris (Replace localhost with your Hybris domain name or
ip address if it’s not a local server).
SOLR
Solr is highly reliable, scalable and fault tolerant, providing distributed indexing, replication and load-balanced
querying, automated failover and recovery, centralized configuration and more. Solr powers the search and
navigation features of many of the world’s largest internet sites.
Solr is an open source software developed by Apache software foundation. It is a search server which uses the
Apache Lucene in the backend and provides a Rest API which can be called from any language or the platform to
get the indexed data or the search results.
Solr in Hybris is used for making faster searches on the products in the site. If data is indexed, it will be stored
separately in Solr and can be accessed from there. If data is not indexed, it will be anyway available in Hybris DB
and can be accessed from there. Communication between Solr and Hybris DB is one way because Solr only gets
the data from Hybris DB, but it will not write anything back to Hybris DB. Accessing data from Hybris DB will
take more time than accessing it from Solr because of indexed data in Solr, hence Solr is preferred in searching
over Hybris DB.
44
There are three interfaces between Hybris and Solr:
• Indexing
• Search
• Autosuggest and spellcheck
Built to handle high traffic and order volumes, it’s there when you need it. Combining the flexibility of bespoke
platform development with the cost-effectiveness of a packaged application, it saves you development and
maintenance costs while improving efficiency.
• Omni Commerce Connect for SAP Hybris Commerce: Enable Commerce Anywhere
