Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, it is well suited for small and medium-scale companies. For 3PL companies, it is one of the best ERP solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have worked as a consultant, Quality Assurance Engineer and Application Developer supporting clients running their business on SAP Business One. SAP Business One was a fantastic mature replacement for legacy systems especially systems that were 20+ years old. SAP Business One helps assist companies develop a one source of truth for their data and consolidates information into a singular database for inventory, accounting, and sales. It eliminates double data entry, improves communication between departments and users, and ensures accurate customer interactions. I have worked on implementing and supporting SAP Business One for 5 users up to 200 users.

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Business One does particularly well with distribution companies as well as small scale manufacturing businesses. It is robust enough to service a wide range of businesses and can be customized to meet specific needs. Companies up to 100 users would find a solid footing in SAP Business One especially if they have standard processes established before implementing.

SAP Business One does have a very open architecture and can be customized with developers. Many needs can be met with custom development.

I would not recommend for larger companies or those with heavy manufacturing needs. There are addons to accommodate but specific needs but those can come with heavy overhead to implement and support. Additionally, if you perform a lot of service based work SAP Business One's mobile capabilities might be insufficient without custom development.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Use as our Core ERP, except for warehouse management.

Likelihood to Recommend

Strong where smaller to medium size companies needing an ERP solution.

Not as strong for larger companies or those needing integrated warehouse management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Business One to run our 5 companies. The MRP module is one of the most important ones because it stores our projections and makes calculations which help us decide when to buy and in what quantities so that we get our inventory in time without ordering wrong quantities and in the correct time frames.

We then use EDI to import our Sales Orders directly from our customers, this saves time and avoids errors. Additionally the SO gets created with the correct prices and if there is a difference the SO gets crated with an unapproved status.

We then easily copy the sales order to a purchase order. PO's go through an approval process in SAP. Once the merchandise arrives we receive it into our different warehouses and easily transfer between them.

We then copy the SO to a delivery document and finally to an invoice. The accounting dept. inputs incoming payments from our customers and outgoing payments to our vendors.

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Business One would be more useful if it contained tools to acommodate the growing need of online sales. A more complete shipping module which handles tracking numbers with the common couriers would be great.

A built in warehouse management system would be great designed to be used with barcode scanners

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Due to a spin-off, last year our company was faced with the decision of which ERP to use. In the previous years, we were using SAP R/3. We chose SAP Business One because is more suitable for small and medium scale enterprises (like us) where the business processes are more flexible. Moreover, we were looking for a cost-effective solution whereas R/3 is meant for large scale enterprises having multi-country locations and where budget is not much

of a concern.

SAP Business One does not have all the functionalities as that of R/3 but the functionality list is slowly increasing.<div>Regarding the implementations and consultant's skills, the SAP Business One consultants are

certified in all the modules. In SAP ECC, the consultants are certified in one or two, so the teams needs much more consultants in SAP Business One. At the end, we decided to move to SAP Business One.</div>

Likelihood to Recommend

<div>SAP Business One provides a comprehensive and sophisticated financial system that also easily extends to add the functions of a true ERP system including modules for production, HR, CRM, and MRP. I think it represents the company's small to midsize enterprise offering.

</div>Some important benefits of choosing SAP Business One is that it is a complete [set of] small-business essentials in a single system and it helps you to save money for implementation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Business One is one of the best business management software available in the market. SAP Business One can be used to manage the various business areas such as inventory and warehousing, purchasing decisions, sales processes, customer relationship management, service management, project management and financial management. SAP Business One enable to visualize the insight from the business operation in real time and improves in better business decisions making. It is a robust enterprise system and the major business processes are supported for most of the organizations. The limitation of Human resources module of SAP Business One needs to consider for all human capital management functionalities to be performed on a single system without interfacing with the other systems.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used [SAP Business One] as 1 of the tools to pick for accounting. SAP business was 1 of the tools in our selection process. SAP is great for complex operations and can connected to many other systems to automate global orders, accounts, purchases and project management.

So for complex rules, and bigger companies this is a great tool to implement because of the freedom you have. Or does it?

Likelihood to Recommend

Like i said for complex implementations and use with other systems SAP [Business One] is great. You can create automatic warehousing if you want with this system as it base. We used it to integrate CRM systems with the production orders to make a seamless automated order process from purchase to warehouse to costumer. And it works great!

But with this it will cost you for implementing and get it to run, next to the training of people to use the system. So again for big companies i would suggest SAP [Business One], but for smaller ones and even mid... There might be better and cheaper options for your needs!
