SAP Business One is highly popular management software, especially tailored to the requirements of small and mid sized enterprises. Owned by SAP SE, the German multinational, SAP Business One is an ERP solution that helps automate key functions  in operations, finance, human resource and other departments within an organization.

Now, each of these modules in SAP Business One ERP solutions is linked to every other module to streamline the whole process of business functioning.
