Today, SAP Business One is an invaluable tool for small and medium-sized businesses in Australia and all over the world. Its many modules that cover all aspects of typical business functions range from sales and inventory management to material resource planning, purchasing A/P, financial statements and much more.
To help understand the values that SAP Business One offers its customers, it’s informative to look into the program’s history.
In 1996, Israeli developers Reuven Agassi and Gadi Shamia developed a program called “Menahel,” which translates to “TopManage” in English. The first business development offered in their home country, TopManage could run on both PC and Mac computers and was designed to help small businesses manage the more complicated aspects of their endeavours.
Four years after its initial development, the program had become so successful that the company began to expand internationally. In 2000, TopManage began to be sold in both Europe and Latin America, and larger software companies took notice. Among them was German developer SAP AG, a global giant that focuses on business solutions software for enterprises of all sizes. The software giant purchases TopManage in 2002 in order to expand its reach to small and medium-sized businesses.
SAG AG loved what it saw in the program, but wanted to expand its functionalities. So in the following years, the corporation purchased several companies – from the Norwegian iLytix Systems AS to the American Praxis Software Solutions in order to implement additions that ranged from CRM and E-Commerce to new reporting and budgeting capabilities.
The result is a small business ERP that’s more functional than any of its competitors. Thanks to its long history of helping small and mediums-zed businesses, SAP Business One knows exactly how to make data and financials easily understandable in reports – all while offering previously unknown degrees of functionality.
