SAP Business One ERP modules for small and medium enterprises

SAP Business One
Enterprise ERP, Scaled Down for SMEs

A descendant of the Xerox business computing division, SAP has sold Enterprise Resource Planning software to large enterprises since 1971. It entered the SME market in 2002 with SAP Business One (SAP B1), its lowest-cost ERP, designed for small to medium organisations with minimal customization. Available on-premise and in the cloud, SAP B1 covers CRM through manufacturing, though it lacks the forward planning and shop floor control needed out of the box for complex production. Its strength is a large network of value-added resellers offering locally developed modules.
