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.
