What makes SAP Business One the best ERP Software for SME Businesses?
SAP Business One Digital Core to Manage Business End-to-End
Phone calls and excel sheets can only do so much. Using an ERP like SAP Business One gives you end-to-end visibility of all the operations happening across departments. In addition, before making a commitment even your sales teams needs visibility into inventory and other departments. Similarly, other departments too need this information sharing back and forth.
When there is an information disconnect across departments, transactions can be inaccurate, commitments can be wrong and overall sales and reputation can be affected. In addition, reporting too is difficult.

- Purchasing & Operations
- Inventory & Distribution
- Production & MRP
- Project & Resource Management

Hosting Flexibility On-Premise or On Cloud
SAP Business One is flexible in terms of hosting it either On Premise or On Cloud. You can deploy SAP Business One on-premise or on cloud using MS SQL or SAP HANA database.
Hosting SAP Business One on-premise for an SMB is a good option for additional data security and the option to integrate add-ons; however, in most cases small medium businesses prefer Cloud Hosting for SAP Business One.
When hosting SAP Business One On-Premise, the business accrues additional capital intensive costs such as time, money and space towards setting up, managing and maintaining internal server, not to forget additional employees to manage them.
However, there are certain advantages specific to business cases, where SAP Business One On-Premise can be useful.
End-to-End Security with Role-based Access & Internal Controls
Internal Controls are usually found to be hard to implement and very expensive to setup and practice, especially for SMEs. But, after the pandemic every business has felt a strong need to have strong internal controls.
In fact, internal controls features within SAP Business One significantly reduce the chances of human errors & potential business loss. In addition, it protects sensitive data, and brings process driven discipline across the company. This results in high accuracy of data reporting for the ultimate decision making for the Management / Stakeholders.
Moreover, implementing internal controls gives a fair chance to our external auditors to add genuine value more from a strategy perspective than from just a general audit perspective to our company.
Flexibility of using database – MS SQL or SAP HANA database

In fact, both SAP HANA and MS SQL support all the core business features for SAP Business One. However, running SAP Business One on the SAP HANA database has its additional advantages that are not available for MS SQL database.
