SAP BUSINESS ONE, ON DEMAND – It’s SAP B1 but in the cloud.
Cloud technology is something close to our heart so you can imagine our delight  when we learned that SAP  have finally released SAP Business One, on Demand. This SAAS (Software As A Service) solution is available now and is a  major development for those small businesses considering SAP Business One but cannot afford the upfront investment to source the infrastructure and the software required for an on premise solution.  It’s also ideal for smaller companies who are turning more and more to the cloud for a relatively instant  and low cost solution to their business software requirements, and of course,  is the perfect substitute for those companies looking to scale back their operations and save money on IT infrastructure and maintenance.  We highly recommend this type of solution. Why? Because we’ve already been running for many months. Ask us how how cloud solutions can streamline your business and shave thousands of pounds off your overheads by calling 0845 257 6001 or by clicking here to contact us online.

Documents can be sent automatically, on a scheduled basis, or manually triggered and adapted before being sent.  E.g. email all unsent invoices via mass delivery, and for those business partners who are due multiple invoices, group these documents into one email.

This  automation does saves time and effort.

One B1 Print & Delivery user sending over 800 invoices per month estimated a total saving of €25,000 per year as well as the added bonus of having a relevant email database to use for future marketing purposes.

To use B1 Print & Delivery you will need the SAP Business One Usability Package which can be tried for FREE.
