Value for Customers

SAP Business One is easy to use and extremely powerful. Although each of your employees has a different job, they must work as a team to serve your customers. And because each employee relies on information others have created or reported, everyone needs access to accurate, up-to-date data.

Your accounting team must keep the wheels of commerce turning with money flowing in and out and being reported on correctly. Your executive team needs real-time information for planning. Your sales team must know how much inventory is in stock and when inventory orders will be filled. Your purchasing manager must be able to forecast demand.

As you search for business software, evaluate products that offer both the features you need now and the ones you’ll need as you grow. SAP Business One offers the right functionality at the right price.

Industry Verticals

Vision33 has hundreds of customers in manufacturing and distribution. Within those sectors, we have expertise in food, hard goods, and medical/life sciences products. But no enterprise resource planning (ERP) can do everything for every business, so integrating with other software is imperative. SAP Business One is flexible and easy to integrate with.

SAP released the initial software development kit (SDK) for SAP Business One in 2004 and expands the integration points with every new product release while also making the integration tools easier to use.

Vision33 extended the SAP Business One’s integration capabilities with The Saltbox Platform in 2019. We partner with the leading SAP Business One industry solutions providers for:

SAP Business One Subsidiary Integration

Using SAP Business One as the standard for subsidiary operations allows a larger enterprise to manage all its locations with one system.

Expanding internationally carries a high cost of maintaining non-integrated solutions. By using SAP Business One as part of a multi-tier software strategy, large enterprises running SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) can easily and quickly integrate their subsidiaries. As businesses roll out new offices and operations worldwide, SAP Business One provides corporate standardisation and control to get new offices running while integrating with their larger SAP ERP system for one consistent worldwide platform.

ABOUT SAP

SAP was founded in 1972 by five German engineers who worked for IBM in Mannheim, Germany. The name SAP came from the abbreviation for System analyse und Programmenentwicklung (“systems analysis and program development” in German).

SAP initially struggled to sell the concept of an integrated software product that could be customised to run all a company’s processes. But by the 1990s, SAP was the software applications vendor of choice for nine of the ten largest U.S. corporations, one-third of the Fortune 500, seven of the ten largest Business Week Global 1000, and 80% of the Fortune 100 companies in software, computers, peripherals, and semiconductors.

In 2001, SAP made the acquisition that marked its entry into the small business space. It purchased TopTier Software, an Israeli company specialising in portals, and its sister company TopManage, which developed small business software. 

TopManage was rebranded SAP Business One and introduced to the U.S. market in 2003. Since then, SAP Business One has undergone eleven significant new version releases.
