The 5 SAP Business One functions that inspire German SMEs

In over 25 years of SAP consulting, we at Konsultec have learned one thing: SMEs don’t need complex IT systems – they need solutions that actually make their day-to-day work easier.

SAP Business One offers exactly that: an ERP solution that does not require an IT department and is still powerful. These five core functions create the greatest added value for our customers:

1. financial intelligence dashboard

No more Excel battles at the end of the month. The Financial Dashboard shows you at a glance:

– Liquidity forecast for the next 90 days

– Open items with due date analysis

– Top customers by turnover and profitability

– Automatic DATEV interface for tax consulting

Practical tip: Particularly valuable for managing directors who need an overview of the most important key financial figures in 2 minutes in the morning.

2. omni-channel sales management

The synchronization of different sales channels is vital for retail companies. SAP Business One:

– Synchronizes inventories between web stores, marketplaces and stationary retail

– Consolidates all orders in a central order processing system

– Automated price adjustments across all channels

– Provides real-time analysis of channel performance

Practical tip: Reduces oversales by an average of 92% and speeds up order processing by up to 68%.

3. integrated project planning and billing

Especially for IT system houses and service providers:

– Resource planning with skill matching

– Automatic time recording with project and task assignment

– Progress and budget controlling in real time

– Flexible billing models (fixed price, T&M, milestones)

Practical tip: The project profitability analysis typically uncovers 15-20% of unbilled services that previously fell through the cracks.

4. production planning for SMEs

Manufacturing companies benefit from:

– Material requirements planning with alternative suppliers

– Capacity planning for machines and personnel

– Batch and serial number tracking

– Integration with machine controls (optional)

Practical tip: Reducing throughput times by an average of 23% creates competitive advantages in times of tight supply chains.

5. VAT-compliant document management function

The compliance nightmare has come to an end:

– GoBD-compliant document storage

– Automatic text recognition for invoices

– Audit-proof archiving

– Intelligent search across all documents

Practical tip: Reduces the effort for tax audits by up to 70% and minimizes compliance risks.

The difference: The Konsultec implementation

At Konsultec, we take a pragmatic approach:

– No months of analysis – we start with proven industry solutions

– Fixed contact persons in Cologne instead of an anonymous hotline

– Training on your real business processes, not on theoretical examples

– No hidden costs – transparent fixed prices

The invisible costs of financial accounting

When we talk about the costs of financial accounting, most companies first think of personnel costs and software licenses.

At Konsultec, we have developed a different approach: FiBu as a Service […]
