Attend A ByDesign Overview Webinar

 

SAP Business ByDesign is an affordable, easy-to-use enterprise resource planning system (ERP) specifically designed for fast-growing small to mid-market businesses and subsidiaries of larger companies.

From financials and inventory to customer relationship management and human resources, SAP Business ByDesign integrates all major aspects of your business for end-to-end visibility, added efficiency and improved operational control. By serving as the nerve-center for your business, with all data flowing into a single, centralized system, SAP Business ByDesign enables real-time data access for faster, complete, more nimble decision-making.

SAP Business ByDesign comes with workflows and best practices that help your business run operations more efficiently from Day 1. It also scales with your business, so you don’t have to change systems as you grow.

Suite in a Box

SAP Business ByDesign serves as an integrated solution that comes with all you need to run your business out of the box. It brings complete visibility and control over every aspect of your organization, and it captures critical business information for immediate, real-time access company-wide.

Unlike spreadsheets or standalone business software, SAP Business ByDesign brings together all areas of your business for faster, more complete data access and control.

Turnkey with Best Practices Built-In

Standard processes and industry best practices are built into the system by default, so companies can grow faster and focus on their core strengths instead of reinventing common processes. Prepackaged industry solutions and standard implementations also can cut ERP cost and setup time by more than half, enabling businesses to roll out the solution in weeks instead of months or years.

At the same time, SAP Business ByDesign is highly customizable and comes with a software development kit (SDK) for deep customization if required. You get the exact functionality and processes you need for your business without compromises.

Built for Growth

Use the same software solution for running your business whether you have 20 employees and one location or 10,000 employees and operations that span the globe. SAP Business ByDesign supports rapid growth by scaling with a business, and firms can adopt the suite for one part of a business and add functionality later as they expand.

Because SAP Business ByDesign is hosted in the cloud, firms pay for only for what they need today, with the option to add additional capacity seamlessly later on.

Businesses also can easily move from Business ByDesign to SAP’s industry-leading enterprise ERP solutions when the time comes, ensuring process continuity and uninterrupted growth at any scale.

Total Financial Control

With a complete set of tools for managing and streamlining your financial operations, including analytics, SAP Business ByDesign gives you total visibility and control over your company’s financial picture.

Automation also improves accounting tasks such as tax calculations, maintenance of ledger and journal entries, and multi-currency transactions.

Purchasing Optimization for Better Margins

A systematic approach for procurement helps drive profitability and avoid supply chain disruption. SAP Business ByDesign supports the complete order-to-pay cycle from requesting vendor quotes and creating purchase requests to handling receipts, invoices, returns and supplier payments.

Reporting tools built into the system help your business easily compare suppliers based on price, quality and other factors such as shipping times, which helps with spotting cost savings and strengthening your supply chain.

Transparent Inventory and Distribution

Track and manage both inventory and distribution with complete visibility.

SAP Business ByDesign provides real-time access to stock levels, inventory updates and availability checks. Inventory can be valued using costing, moving average, FIFO or other methods.

Inbound and outbound shipments, including transfers and item location, can be monitored in real-time. Standard and special pricing can be managed and applied by volume, cash or customer discounts, and automated reports can show their impact.

Powerful Business Intelligence, Analytics and Reporting

Make better business decisions with analytics and reporting tools that aggregate your operational data and highlight opportunities for additional growth.

Automated report generation, more than 500 standard reports, and real-time analytics help you understand your data. Role-based dashboards and Microsoft Excel integration also make it accessible.

SAP Business ByDesign uses an in-memory analytics platform for faster analysis. It also integrates with SAP Crystal Reports, one of the most powerful and complete analytics tools for generating ad hoc indicators and reports.

Employee Enablement

Empower employees to make faster, more informed decisions by capturing data company-wide and making it available in real-time. With SAP Business ByDesign, you can capture all sales, customer, operations and financial information and make it accessible to employees on an as-needed basis.

By having all your business data in a centralized system instead of disconnected spreadsheets, you also can cut down on data entry and unnecessary employee costs.

Easy Extendibility

Customize your ERP system for your particular business and industry needs. SAP Business ByDesign comes with all you need out of the box, but it also was designed for easy integration with best-of-breed and industry-specific solutions from other software providers.

With more than 255 integration points and a robust software development kit for customized code, SAP Business ByDesign both works as a turnkey solution and in conjunction with other systems.

Cloud-Native

Built on the SAP Cloud and run on industry-leading cloud provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS), SAP Business ByDesign features wide connectivity with other online software platforms, a robust API, and support for all major browsers and mobile devices.

By moving processes to SAP Business ByDesign, companies can quickly and easily achieve digital transformation and end-to-end cloud-based operations.

Ongoing Upgrades and Innovation

Stay current with technology trends such as artificial intelligence by running on a platform with continuous innovation and automatic updates. When businesses choose to run their operations with Business ByDesign, they benefit from the ongoing innovation of the world’s largest ERP developer, SAP.

Instead of grappling with expensive and time-consuming upgrades, businesses get this innovation hassle-free because all hardware and software is maintained by SAP in the cloud.

Rock-Solid Security

Ensure the highest possible security for your business data by having it hosted on a platform built for security and trusted by thousands of the world’s most successful businesses.

SAP Business ByDesign is run on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, which has been designated by the U.S. government as safe for documents that require top secret clearance.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest on the server, and multi-factor authentication combined with fine-grained, role-based access controls protects data from unauthorized access.

Whether growing fast, expanding abroad or ramping up operations after venture funding, SAP Business ByDesign is the perfect solution for small to mid-market companies that need a business system that will grow with them.

If your business has more than 20 employees, annual revenue starting around $20 million and is expanding fast, SAP Business ByDesign is made for your company.

How to Tell If SAP Business ByDesign is Right for Your Company

Business leaders often wonder if ERP is right for their organization. They also frequently ask if they should select SAP Business ByDesign or SAP Business One. Both are solutions built for small to mid-market companies.

While ERP is overkill for solopreneurs and small businesses with less than 20 employees, it makes sense for just about every other type of business. Having an integrated system that handles all aspects of business operations and serves as a single source of truth is a key component of efficiency and business competitiveness. So any company with more than 20 employees and annual revenue of at least $1 million should be using ERP.

Now let’s look at the difference between SAP’s two offerings for small to mid-sized businesses, which SAP defines as businesses with annual revenue of less than $1 billion.

SAP Business One

SAP Business One is the company’s complete ERP solution for small to medium-sized businesses of roughly $1M to $25 million in revenue, and it handles everything from accounting and financials to operations, sales and customer service.

More than 60,000 businesses use SAP Business One, with most having between 10 and 200 employees and between $1 million and $50 million in annual revenue. Subsidiaries of larger organizations also use the solution frequently.

SAP Business ByDesign

SAP Business ByDesign is SAP’s mid-market solution for fast-growing businesses. It is an entirely cloud-based ERP system, unlike SAP Business One that is available both on-premise and in the cloud. SAP Business ByDesign also includes more than 255 integrations out of the box, and it scales better for businesses that are rapidly moving from SMB to larger enterprise.

That’s not to say that small businesses don’t also use SAP Business ByDesign. While the largest group of users are businesses with between 50-200 employees and between $10 million and $50 million in annual revenue, businesses with between $1 million and $10 million in annual revenue and 10-49 employees are almost equally represented.

Because there is an overlap between the two solutions, here’s a further way you can tell if SAP Business ByDesign is right for your company.

Business Characteristics

  • Annual revenue between $25 million and $500 million
  • More than 150 employees
  • Growing fast (whether services, products or in new territories)
  • Operating globally (currently or in the near future)
  • Evolving business model (either strategically or due to external factors)

 

Technology Characteristics

  • Limited IT staff
  • Preference for cloud services
  • Too many manual processes
  • Using other SAP products (such as Concur or Success Factors)

 

Buying Characteristics

  • Seeks funding and needs an IT system that can scale
  • Recently received venture funding
  • Recently was acquired or merged/acquired a competitor
  • Needs a secure business platform
  • Is a new subsidiary
  • Underwent a change in business model
  • Auditors will no longer audit the business

If same of these characteristics sound like your company, you’re probably ready for SAP Business ByDesign.

SAP: A Partner You Can Trust

ERP powers your entire business, so you need a software provider you can trust both now and as your company grows.

As the world’s largest maker of ERP solutions and the 12th largest technology company in the world, SAP powers more than 404,000 businesses across 180 different countries. These include large multinationals such as BP, Coca-Cola and 3M, but also small and mid-market firms such as audio electronics maker, Skullcandy, and medical device manufacturer, CeloNova BioSciences. An estimated 77 percent of all global transactions come in contact with SAP software.

Nine out of the 10 largest U.S. corporations use SAP, as do a third of all Fortune 500 companies. But so do SMBs, which make up 80 percent of SAP’s customer base.

SAP is the market leader for ERP software, but it also is one of its pioneers. Started in 1971 by five German engineers who worked for IBM, SAP was an early developer of integrated accounting solutions (SAP stands for Systemanalyse und Programmenentwicklung, which is “systems analysis and program development” in German). As the industry grew and expanded, so did SAP’s market-leading integrated business systems, eventually encompassing financials, human resources, materials resource planning, operations, logistics and ecommerce, among other key business functions.

An enterprise IT leader by the 1990s, SAP expanded into the SMB market in 2001 when it acquired Israeli company, TopManage, which developed small business software. This became SAP Business One in 2003. In 2007, SAP then developed its SAP Business ByDesign platform, an entirely cloud-based ERP solution for SMBs that greatly reduced the cost and complexity of running an ERP system.

Navigator Business Solutions and other SAP-certified partners have built prepackaged industry solutions that further lower the cost and complexity of ERP implementation and extend the solution to more fast-growing small and mid-sized businesses. These prepackaged solutions, the next wave in ERP innovation, are built on the SAP Business ByDesign platform as turnkey ERP solutions that come preconfigured with functionality and best practices tailored for a given industry segment.

Businesses that choose SAP get the best of both worlds: A specialized solution that fits the size and needs of their business, and a solution that is built and supported by one of the largest, most stable technology companies in the world.
