Press Release Body: SAP B1 is really innovative ERP, dedicated to small business
with great ambitions: MRP, discrete manufacturing or production, CRM, advanced
warehouse management and inventory (pack and ship), service contracts (including
functionality for creative warranty contracts and even rentals), HR with its ability
to track employee hiring and certification history, accrual to cash switch in
financial reporting, great support for multicurrency and worldwide localizations.
SAP staying behind with its accounting software reputation is worth to mention.
These and other features make this ERP application to be included into ERP selection
and evaluation worksheet. Let's come through some SB1 features on the executive
level:
1. Sales Automation or Client Relation Management functionality. The modern
competition dictates you the rule of non-solicitation, however if customer calls or
contacts you - then you can register this call in your SAP BO CRM as the lead or
opportunity to be your sales process indulgence. Of course indulging is not the
only purpose of CRM module - the main idea is to organize your sales department and
facilitate group work in presentation and sales cycle

2. Customer Vendor Consolidation. If you had previous experience working with
mid-size ERP, then you probably remember that you would in the past have to pay
extra bucks for such "large company" features as having business with partner, where
it is in fact behaving both as customer and vendor. Good example is freight
forwarding industry with monthly settlement report. SB1 has it out of the box, plus
you can advance the reporting features to give you exactly what you or your
transportation partners need

3. Light manufacturing. One of the popular demands is so called disassembly
production order, when you get return from your customer and you would like to take
pieces apart and place them back to your inventory warehouse bins

4. Self Implementation Pilots. Yes, SB1 is good fit for such risk free scenarios.
If you have internal IT people with accounting background who are familiar with AR,
AP, GL peculiarities or rather to say uniqueness of your business, then you can
purchase one professional user license (around three thousand US dollars) and do it
yourself with limited hourly rates based support from your SB1 partner or ISV
