How can you make the most of it when switching erp packages? Multi Ratio discovered that SAP Business One was the erp package that allowed them to get a handle on their complex business processes.

Multi Ratio sells new office furniture. So far, nothing complicated for an erp package. But: they also buy and resell used office furniture. Also good to do in most erp packages. However: customers can also have reused office furniture upholstered or colored to their own taste at Multi Ratio. And you can buy parts of products separately. That makes inventory management as well as logistics and planning quite complex. Fortunately, with SAP Business One, Logres manages to offer a solution in which all business processes are neatly monitored.

For: challenges and opportunities

• A lot of manual work and little overview
• Because used products are custom made and individual product parts are also sold, inventory management, logisitics and planning is a challenge.

Why SAP and Logres

• Logres offered two ERP systems for Multi Ratio to choose from; the demonstration at Logres' office won over the wholesaler.
• SAP Business One was chosen because of its flexibility and completeness.

After: Result
