Connect your operations

Cut your operating costs

With raw material and energy costs shrinking your margins, you need to reduce costs. SAP Business One saves you time and money from production to distribution.

  • Amplify order volumes: automate everything from cycle counting to shelf-life management. No more data errors – instead you can focus on finding new ways to boost orders.
  • Stop over-stocking: SAP Business One connects your procurement, inventory and order data. In real-time you can save storage costs and only order what you need.
  • Halve your order backlog: get a complete and reliable view of your inventory. Instead of falling behind, you’ll stay ahead of schedule and keep your customers happy.
Report in real-time

Comply with confidence

To stay compliant and prevent recalls, you need in-depth product traceability. SAP Business One simplifies your compliance processes.

  • Audit and report in minutes: trace every stock movement with batch and serial number traceability. You can track everything, down to the storage conditions of your stock. Capturing data in real-time makes compliance reporting effortless.
  • Prevent contamination risk: build workflows to make sure your team handles and stores goods safely.
  • Ensure quality at every step: plan and execute inspections in one collaborative platform. See results instantly, and make faster improvements.
Automate and integrate

Simplify sustainability

Chemical companies need to reduce emissions now – but where do you begin? SAP Business One gives you reliable data to help you make sustainable decisions.

  • Choose sustainable suppliers: track material components and transport emissions. Use this data to prioritise eco-friendly suppliers.
  • Reduce waste and save: chemical production processes are energy-consuming and often wasteful. Material resource planning (MRP) lets you plan production and materials in line with your order volumes.
  • Report with ease: build dashboards to show your sustainability improvements in real-time. Share this insight with regulators and customers to prove your progress.
