SAP Business One is the right ERP system if ...

  • your business processes cost too much time and resources
  • a lack of transparency and manual work are slowing down your efficiency
  • your current ERP system is not keeping pace with your growth
  • you are looking for a centralized solution for all business areas
  • you want to reduce errors and costs with automation

SAP Business One helps you focus on your business - not your software.

What our customers say

One of the things we appreciate about SAP Business One is the consistent workflow in the system, which avoids additional work and provides a quick overview.

Stephan Preuß
Deputy Managing Director and Head of Administration

SAP Business One allows us to handle more complexity with the same manpower. Another company could be integrated into the group without additional administrative staff.

Marcel Richter
Managing Director

SAP Business One as a cloud solution saves us time and money. SAP Business One also gives us the opportunity to react flexibly to changing requirements. SIGMA will continue to support us competently in the future with its ERP expertise.

Mathias Gehmlich
Managing Director

We made a conscious decision to switch from SAGE to SAP Business One and are looking forward to the new opportunities that the new ERP system with SIGMA's logistics solutions will offer us.

Ulrich Janns
Managing Director

Since we started using SAP Business One, I now have the necessary overview of my stocks. And above all, we are also much faster when it comes to stocking the store and eBay etc. The implementation has therefore paid off for us.

Purchase or rent? Hardware or cloud?

You can implement SAP Business One "classically" as a client-server application in your company on your own hardware. Alternatively, you can also use the solution in the cloud on the basis of a monthly provisioning fee (rental). While the startup scene has long been known for its preferred use of cloud solutions, the strategic shift is now also being felt by "seasoned" mid-market companies. For more information, go to our magazine article "Hardware vs. Cloud" here.

Do you already know which variant you prefer? If not, we will be happy to advise you on this.
