SAP B1
- It has allowed us to gain increased control over multinational operations.
- Allowed for growth among several e-commerce channels while accurately tracking a custom-made inventory structure.
- Allowed for a centralized customer management space for customer service.
Great product
- Better visibility of our product.
- Record keeping and auditorial reports.
- It has made us more accurate.
- Need to add more staff to meet the processes needed within SAP.
Good system but could use some polishing
- Ability to have real-time financial data from multiple locations.
- Pulling detailed transactions while showing a customer or vendor along with Item information is very difficult.
- SAP B1 has let us cut down on the number of employees we've had to hire as our business grows. Saving on 1 employee justifies getting SAP B1 and we've saved on over 5 employees so far compared to our older ERP's.
- SAP B1 really cuts down on the time it takes to lookup a product/customer/vendor history and view inventory compared to other ERPs.
Excellent budget ERP for Medium and Small Businesses
- SAP Business One dramatically reduces the time of communication between the departments in the company.
- The possibilities for the users to make their own reports (at least the simple ones), reduces the cost of the consulting you will need, although some consulting will always be needed at the start of the project if you don't have an in-house team.
- All the processes in sales and purchase departments are greatly improved in our company, so users can spend more time analyzing information and scenarios, and less time doing routinary work and data input.
SAP B1 for the win
- The ROI was huge for us in that it drastically cut down employee time generated reports, preparing invoices, etc.
