Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business One

SAP B1 is used extensively across the organization so all functions including accounting, logistics, sales, purchasing, etc
  • Single pane of glass to entire business
  • Highly flexible and customizable
  • Strong API for integration with other systems
  • CRM needs improvement
  • Web based portals are lacking
  • Built in reporting could be better
  • Excellent ROI in our business and much better control and visibility
Yes - 4 month implementation
Change business processes to best practices, instead of trying to model the software around current inefficient processes.
We likes the breadth and customization ability of SAP

Best suited for smaller customers (under a few hundred users) in distribution or light manufacturing.
