For the vast majority of businesses, planning material requirements, running the payroll, sending out invoices, and managing inventory levels are part of day-to-day activities. Small companies don’t usually have a whole department dedicated to each task. Often, just one or two employees are responsible.

That’s why reliable business software that covers all the important processes is indispensable. It must be easy to install and affordable. The software shouldn’t be overloaded with superfluous modules or applications that users don’t need. It should help employees get on with their tasks, rather than hinder them in their work.

SAP Business One
SAP has developed SAP Business One especially for small businesses of between five and 100 employees. The software covers all business areas – from material requirements planning (MRP) and warehouse management to accounting, sales and distribution, and personnel administration.
SAP Business One is aimed particularly at the retail and wholesale trade, the manufacturing industry, and the service sector.
For the various industries – such as the automotive or food industries – modules are available from SAP partners, which companies can purchase in addition.
SAP pledges that the software will be up and running in an average of between six and eight weeks. It is delivered by SAP channel partners, who provide local services and support.
