Wholesale & Process Industry
ERP system for small and medium-sized businesses (5 to 250 employees)
Are you looking for an ERP system for small and medium-sized businesses that fits the size of your organization? Whether you have a company with 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, or 250 employees, the most important thing is that your ERP software grows with your business.
At Logres, we implement two ERP systems: SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale. We focus on wholesalers and companies in the process industry.
Do you work in a different industry? If so, we’re afraid we can’t help you. That doesn’t mean, however, that SAP Business One or another ERP system isn’t suitable for your organization; it just means that Logres specializes in these two industries.
When are SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale good choices?
SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale are suitable for SMBs that:
- Operating in the wholesale or process industries.
- Want to manage their inventory, purchasing, sales, and administration in a single system.
- Want to be less dependent on standalone Excel files and various software packages.
- Want to grow without having to implement a new ERP system later on.
The number of employees is just one factor. The number of orders, products, production recipes, warehouse locations, branches, and users also plays an important role.
ERP by Company Size
ERP for companies with 5 to 10 employees
A small business needs clarity and efficiency. Especially at this stage, employees are often responsible for multiple tasks. An integrated ERP system prevents duplicate work and errors.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 5 employees, an ERP system for 8 employees, or an ERP system for 10 employees? If so, it’s important that the software is easy to implement but still offers enough flexibility to grow with your business.
For wholesalers and companies in the process industry, both SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale can be suitable options.
ERP for companies with 10 to 25 employees
As an organization grows, separate departments for sales, purchasing, warehousing, or production often emerge. Information is increasingly shared among different employees.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 15, 20, or 25 employees? If so, centralized data is essential. Everyone works with the same up-to-date information, which reduces errors and speeds up processes.
For companies in this category, both SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale are suitable ERP solutions.
ERP for companies with 25 to 50 employees
Starting at around 25 employees, processes become more complex. There are more users, larger inventories, and often multiple locations or product groups.
At this stage, many companies are looking for an ERP system for 30, 40, or 50 employees that not only supports their current operations but also enables future growth.
SAP Business One supports, among other things:
- Procurement
- Sale
- Inventory Management
- Warehouse management
- Production processes
- Recipe management
- Financial administration
- Reports and dashboards
For wholesalers with approximately 25 employees, Klipboard Wholesale may also be a suitable solution. If the organization continues to grow or its processes become more complex, SAP Business One is usually the best choice.
ERP for companies with 50 to 100 employees
Larger SMBs need reliable information, automation, and control over their processes.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 60, 75, or 100 employees? Then scalability is important. SAP Business One supports multiple users, departments, and business processes without requiring you to switch to a different system.
ERP for companies with 100 to 250 employees
Organizations with 100, 150, 200, or 250 employees can also operate very effectively with SAP Business One.
For companies of this size, the focus is often on process optimization, integrations, reporting, and supporting multiple locations or production processes.

More important than the exact number of employees is the complexity of your business processes. A wholesale company with ten employees may have a greater need for a powerful ERP system than a service company with fifty employees. That’s why we always consider the combination of company size, processes, and ambitions.
ERP System by Number of Employees
ERP system for 10 employees
A company with about ten employees is often at a tipping point. Disparate software packages, Excel files, and manual processes are taking up more and more time and increasing the risk of errors.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 10 employees and do you operate in the wholesale or process manufacturing industry? If so, both SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale could be good choices. Which solution is best for you depends on the complexity of your processes and your growth plans.
ERP system for 25 employees
An organization with about 25 employees usually has multiple departments that work closely together. Sales, purchasing, warehousing, production, and administration must have continuous access to the same information.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 25 employees? Then both SAP Business One and Klipboard Wholesale are suitable solutions for many wholesale businesses. For companies in the process industry, SAP Business One is usually the most logical choice because of its extensive capabilities for production and business processes.
ERP system for 50 employees
Companies with around fifty employees often need further automation, comprehensive reporting, and an ERP system that can scale with their business.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 50 employees? If so, SAP Business One is an excellent choice for many organizations. The system supports multiple users, complex business processes, and integrations with other software.
ERP system for 100 employees
Even companies with around 100 employees often still fall within the SME category. At this stage, scalability, reliability, and real-time insight are crucial.
Are you looking for an ERP system for 100 employees? Then SAP Business One offers a solid foundation for further growth. The system is used by thousands of SMBs worldwide and supports organizations with complex business processes, multiple locations, and a large number of users.
