Are you the perfect SAP user?
Let's say you are considering introducing a new ERP solution and have reached the point where you are considering an SAP solution as one of your top choices. But perhaps you are hesitating? Isn't it too complicated? Isn't it only used by very large companies? Then the question pops into your head: Am I the perfect SAP user? We'll give you a few things to think about to help you decide whether an SAP solution is right for you.

What characterises the typical SAP user?
If you look at SAP Business One from the perspective of its features and technical capabilities, you can be very satisfied with its implementation: you can efficiently manage your entire company – from finance, purchasing, warehouse management, sales and CRM to production and comprehensive analyses and dashboards. SAP Business One also appeals to a wide range of companies in terms of industries. Users from manufacturing, retail, service companies, schools and public sector organisations are all part of the user family and feel comfortable with SAP Business One. So what defines the typical user?
Why do SAP users plan beyond their daily business?
In modern parlance, this is referred to as the ‘big picture’. SAP users want to develop their companies strategically and do not lose sight of their goals despite their daily business. SAP users do not just plan from one day to the next, but use a variety of analyses to position their companies. The software is only a tool that provides information in the background. SAP users already know where they want to see their companies in the coming years, which target markets and customer groups are promising, and what needs to be done to achieve success.
How do users benefit from a clear view of your business?
How is my company doing right now, at this very moment? What is the order backlog and what payments can we expect to receive within the next two weeks? SAP users want to derive tasks from facts or, better still, have them ‘delivered’ by the system. SAP users want information quickly, at a glance. Instead of laboriously comparing and consolidating multiple Excel lists, SAP users prefer real-time analyses at the touch of a button.
Why is sound data more important than gut decisions?
Who hasn't been there? How often are business decisions still made based on gut feelings? What else can you do when reliable data is not available in real time and analyses require a great deal of effort? We're not just talking about the ‘big’ decisions, such as those relating to product development. We are also thinking of the small ‘blind flights’ that are made when ordering materials, planning production or in other areas. SAP users don't want gut decisions, they want to make decisions based on sound and reliable information.
The software serves as a tool for defining target markets and customer groups for the coming years and strategically developing the company's positioning.
No, the software appeals to a wide range of companies. In addition to industry and commerce, service providers, educational institutions and public sector clients also use the system successfully for their processes.
The solution enables efficient management of the entire company, from finance and purchasing to warehouse management, sales and CRM, right through to production and analysis.
No. Although the system offers high technical performance for all areas of the company, it is designed in such a way that even smaller companies can use it to manage their processes efficiently.
Instead of investing time in consolidating Excel lists, users receive information in real time at the touch of a button, enabling them to take immediate action.
