    I work with several businesses and have attempted to bring ScaleFactor into multiple. Thus far the business status/environment has been suitable for ScaleFactor only once, but I'll continue to look for more. ScaleFactor is great when a company has matured beyond the owner making all accounting and banking entries. As soon as multiple systems are needed, it's likely a decent time to call ScaleFactor. I'm confident my operations could run through ScaleFactor for a long time as the next step for us would be something akin to NetSuite or some other more rigid enterprise solution. Additionally, our business has a geographically displaced work force, typically working from home. Having access to all systems via the cloud has been great. No longer do we have to pass a specific computer back and forth for a physical computer software license. It's enabled maximum work flow convenience.

    • Could connect with All saving accounts i.e. Building society saving aswell as major banks.
    • When a connected bank or savings account hasn't been used for a month or 2 it could show a 0 transaction to keep it updated rather then saying "last updated 3 months ago"

    The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

    SAP requires
    a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
    implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
    different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
    towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
    couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.

    Scale factor, can be used like Xero I believe. However all my past data was already stored in Xero so I used it as an add on. It is a lot more user friendly and helpful, i.e. you don't need to be an accountant to use it. However I am not sure it is useable anymore or supported, so i have gone back to using Xero alone.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • Surpasses many well reputed applications in terms of performance and data insight when you are into SAP products
    • More reliable and secure as we are not going to create multiple copy of master data, one single shared master data and all will work like charm
    • For authentication we can also use Microsoft MFA or Google single sign-on , so less complexity
    • For customized business process, we can implement extension packages which are like templates

    • They have been fundamental in helping us grow and scale at a relatively low cost in comparison to out-sourcing these functions. We can spend more on other items that can fuel growth while knowing the back end is taken care of.
    • They provide automated supports for key areas like payroll, expenses, etc so that we can quickly get back to focusing on the other items.
