About SAP Business One
SAP Business One is an affordable, easy-to-use business management solution designed specifically for growing small and medium businesses and subsidiaries.

By capturing data in a centralised location, you can access vital real-time information to make fast, informed decisions.
SAP Business One is a scalable, proven solution available on-premises and in the cloud powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). SAP Business One transforms your business by leveraging information to maximize efficiency, reach new customers, and drive profitable growth.
Success Stories
Success doesn’t happen by accident.
Vision33 customers succeed because we carefully match their needs with the right software and the perfect mix of implementation services, training, and customisations. We have thousands of customer successes in numerous industries, including manufacturing, distribution, food production and distribution, life sciences, and more.
SAP Business One Cloud
SAP Business One Cloud powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an affordable, integrated ERP solution that scales as your business grows so you can run in real-time and drive profit. From financial information and sales to inventory and production, SAP Business One Cloud gives you real-time data from every critical area of your business, allowing you to make smarter business decisions anywhere, anytime.
With SAP Business One Cloud, your valuable information is protected, so you can spend more time running your business and less time worrying about security.
SAP Business One Cloud is available in single-tenant and multi-tenant environments. The multi-tenant environment (MTE) is more affordable, as multiple companies carry the cost of infrastructure.
ERP vs Accounting
As the size, complexity, and pace of your business grow, frustrations multiply. The accounting system you relied on to manage finances and operations is now a barrier to growth and efficiency—and in a highly competitive business climate, you can’t afford spiralling overhead costs, functional limitations, and unnecessary risks.
A great accounting software package will tell you where your business has been. A great ERP software solution will guide you where you’re going.

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.
SAP HANA
SAP Business One was the first application SAP deployed on the HANA in-memory platform.
This in-memory computing platform for SAP Business One supercharges the application’s speed and allows you to analyse massive amounts of data in real-time. SAP Business One powered by SAP HANA eliminates layers of complexities and unnecessary business costs found in legacy IT architecture so your business can run smarter, faster, and simpler.

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.
