Consultant Enterprise Solutions - SAP Business One and Google Workspace ( G Suite) at Axleta

In our current business context, we are part of the retail industry. Normally, we purchase products from overseas vendors, and then we resell those products. We may do DLP (Delivery Processing) and all. But after that, we store the products in the warehouse. Finally, we have a Salesforce automation system, which collects the sales orders and transfers them to SAP Business One. It is an integrated system with SAP Business One. Then, to process sales, our users raise the invoices. At the warehouse location, we deliver the goods to the end-users. This business operates as B2B (Business-to-Business), and we handle a considerable volume of transactions. We deal with automotive items such as spare parts, tires, and other products in our portfolio.   

In the backend, the finance team prepares the financial statements through the SAP system. They book payments, process bank transactions, and more. So, this is an integrated process, and we use all the modules of SAP Business One, except for the production module, as we don't have any production requirements in retail. However, we have one subsidiary. When we implement SAP Business One for that particular aspect, we will use the production module. 

Currently, we have a small area where we assemble sales kits for combining items into one particular product. So, with the new implementation, we will use all the modules, enabling us to get comprehensive financial reports. That's the background of our usage.

The solution is mainly used by customers in the manufacturing industry, particularly in areas where there is no need for extensive maintenance and quality control modules. Maintenance and quality control modules are not a part of the core SAP Business One. In short, we serve those businesses that are involved in core manufacturing and have a supply chain but don't need quality control and maintenance. The modules that come with SAP Business One are typically used for procurement, sales, or finance, and we, as implementers, are involved in the implementation phase.

We are a beverage manufacturer in the fast-moving consumer goods sector that uses Business One throughout our whole supply chain. We start with forecasting, which is not calibrated well currently, and then we download the sales plan into SAP. Based on the sales plan, we provide plans for production via MRP algorithms. The primary function of Business One is to handle all this data we are getting about purchase orders, raw materials, packaging, etc. We also plan to acquire a production module for MRP II functionality, but we haven't acquired it yet and have not decided on the production model. Right now, upwards of 230 people using it, including salespeople, accountants, warehouse workers, production workers, purchase servers, and people who handle procurement. At the moment, it's all.
