OpenProject Development & Integration
OpenProject is powerful, but rarely alone in large corporations. We integrate it into your existing ERP and controlling landscape.
REST API v3
We use the API for bidirectional sync. Projects created in ERP -> automatically created in OpenProject. Times booked in OpenProject -> transferred to ERP.
Work Package Webhooks
Status changes drive processes. When a work package is set to 'Completed', we automatically inform the client or trigger invoicing.
Custom Plugins (Rails)
We develop plugins that add new tabs to project views, provide specific export formats, or map complex approval workflows.
Concrete Use Cases
How we implement OpenProject development in practice.
SAP / Controlling Sync
Project managers plan in OpenProject, controllers need numbers in SAP CO. Manual transfer is error-prone.
Middleware that keeps cost centers and budgets in sync. Booked hours are transmitted to SAP nightly as activity allocation.
Extended Workflows
Standard status transitions (New -> In Progress) are insufficient. Conditional transitions are needed (e.g., four-eyes principle).
Development of workflow guards that block status changes if mandatory fields are missing or the user does not have the required role.
Stakeholder Reporting
Management needs a one-pager project status that OpenProject does not export natively.
A custom reporting plugin that aggregates data and generates a management summary PDF that exactly matches your corporate design.
