Analytics could be much better. The solution must provide a lot of options so that the analytics dashboard looks much better. The vendor must bring in more analytics features. Currently, the analytics features are decent but not great. The production modules and HR components must be improved. Production planning and detailed warehouse management features must be improved. While migrating to AWS, we faced certain issues with the API integration and the configuration of the add-ons. We thought changes wouldn't be required, but some changes were required. We also faced some challenges with the compatibility of the patches. The additional functionalities must be more flexible and scalable.

The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.

Well, we have made some improvements like making new rules or new fields that we need for our business process. Overall, though, the processes that already exist in the tool have been very useful for us and we have been using them the way that they are and just making little customizations for our company. Adding an HR feature would be great. SAP has another model that is only HR, but it works separately more for big companies instead of ones like ours that use Business One. If we could have something to manage HR stock, that would be great. I would also be interested in a model that would manage travel expenses. The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again, instead of just moving that purchase order to a different project. That would be really useful for us, because our company works by project, so if a purchase order is on an incorrect project, we have to delete everything and then start the process again with the new project.

Room for Improvement

SAP Business One on AWS faces challenges with user-friendliness, scalability, and cost-efficiency. The UI needs updates for a modern experience. Users desire enhanced browser access and web client functionality. Integration issues, particularly with SSL and IP addresses, are significant. More customization and expanded analytics would be beneficial. There is a demand for better compatibility with third-party applications, real-time data access, and improved warehouse features. Expertise in server security and training for vendors is highlighted as crucial.

"The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Analytics could be much better."
"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision.We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern."

Pricing

SAP Business One on AWS offers two licensing options: a limited version priced around 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD) and a professional version, often called "Super User," at approximately 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD). Costs, which include a licensing and implementation fee, are viewed as high but justifiable. Licenses can be purchased monthly or annually, with yearly costs possibly averaging around 50,000 USD. Additional fees apply for integration with third-party software.

"The tool's cost is reasonable."
