SAP Business One is an affordable, integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution designed to enable growing small to midsized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises with subsidiary operations to better manage their entire company. SAP Business One provides one simple solution that streamlines business processes, provides real‑time information, and helps boost overall business performance. Accounting software packages only handle the individual business function of accounting, whereas an ERP application handles the entire range of business functions of an organization. ERP applications, like SAP Business One, fully integrate all major functional areas of business including: Finance, Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Logistics, and more. This eliminates the need to support your business with a multitude of manual processes and non‑integrated business applications.
