SAP Business One is an enterprise resource planning application designed for small and medium-sized enterprises, and marketed by the German company SAP SE. Its goal is the automation of key business functions in finance, operations, and human resources. Designed specifically for the SMB market, Business One has a lower price tag than some of the more robust SAP offerings and a quick rollout timeline. With over 500 extensions, real-time analytics, flexible plans, a custom software development kit, and both cloud and on-premises deployment options, SAP Business One is designed to grow with SMBs. It’s impressively customizable, allowing users to build apps, automate menial tasks, create custom dashboards, and really design the ERP ecosystem that works for their unique business and industry. Business One is perfect for smaller enterprises that want a modular, powerful solution, but it’s worth noting that it’s not SAP’s intended large enterprise product. Organizations that expect to grow to around 500 users in the foreseeable future may want to look to another option in the SAP ERP suite, like S/4HANA.
