SAP Gold Partner specialising in supplying SAP Business One in the Cloud

Industry Solutions: Manufacturing

SAP Business One is a comprehensive solution for manufacturing businesses. Many companies in the manufacturing industry eventually reach the stage where they have outgrown their previous manufacturing and financial software. Usually, those systems can’t communicate with each other and companies reach a point where employees are wasting too much time duplicating data entry between systems, with the potential for error that goes with that.

SAP Business One is used by manufacturers globally to help them streamline their inventories, optimise production capacity and resourcing, while keeping costs under control. It can be enhanced by solutions from other partners to provide additional manufacturing functionality.

The Solution at a Glance

The Industry Challenges

The manufacturing industry has always faced many challenges, but these are exacerbated by outdated, legacy software and over-reliance on paper.

Lack of visibility into processes and the state of the business becomes an issue when it takes substantial amounts of time to pull reports on various aspects, without being certain the data that is being reported on is even correct. In an industry where margins are narrow and efficiency is paramount, the cost and impact of not changing systems quickly becomes significant. These issues include:

  • Lack of integration and communication between systems

  • Duplication of data and manual administration

  • Errors caused by manual data entry and lack of communication

  • Lack of visibility into the state of the business

  • Length of time required to generate reports

  • Reduced efficiency caused by manual processes that could be automated

  • Identifying bottlenecks in the production process and how to resolve them

If any of these issues sound familiar, it's time to consider how a modern ERP solution can help. We will take time to understand your requirements, and, with our expertise, guide you towards the solution that provides the best fit for those requirements and support you through the selection and implementation process.
