1 abas Business Software: Big ERP solution for small businesses

2 Too small for a big ERP solution? Why small businesses also need a fully-developed ERP solution! According to analysts, small businesses around the world have extensive financial disadvantages because they do not have a consistent and uniform data basis. Key performance indicators such as sales order stock, stock value or liquidity can only be determined through a high manual effort if even possible at all! The ability to innovate these companies suffers from the fact that the available personnel is used to deal with administrative tasks in day-to-day business. The actual core business, such as product development or strategic development of customer and vendor relations is often neglected. When asked, why they do not use an integrated business software, management answers, we are too small for this! However, when looking more closely at their tasks, it becomes obvious that small companies have similar requirements to large ones. Small companies often lack the budget and the necessary personnel resources required for an ERP implementation as is common on the market. The right ERP package also for small businesses ABAS and its software partners are tackling this challenge. The outcome: a package explicitly consisting of software and implementation methodology, which fulfills small business requirements. Contrary to the usual approach in the ERP market, big ERP was not simply slimmed down to create an entrylevel solution. Quite the opposite! Especially for small companies, ABAS has defined best practices that can be provided in the system. Combined with a role-based and user-centric representation of relevant information, the implementation and training effort can be reduced dramatically, which has an effect on external as well as internal costs. We started using abas ERP because the system is really easy to use, the support they provide is excellent and they have great people to talk to. It has allowed us to do a much better job keeping track of our inventory. Troy Johanson, Seed Hawk Sector of industry: Seeding systems Number of licenses:

3 Ready for growth! The key for a successful implementation is an adequate methodology. For this, the well-established abas implementation methodology was matched to the generally low budget and personnel resources. This procedure differs considerably from those of other ERP providers. Small companies especially start-ups are often still in their identification and orientation phase in terms of company organization. Therefore, ABAS provides them with the most-experienced ERP organizational consultants for the project. Thus, small companies can rely on the best practices and the extensive experience of consultants from large ERP projects from all industries and company sizes. Ready for growth! As your company will change in the course of time, as a rule, your requirements regarding your ERP system will also change. This is often the time when many software solutions that are customized to small businesses reach their limits in terms of functionality or scalability. As a consequence, either permanent compromises have to be made or a new real ERP system has to be acquired. The investment made before will then be lost. From the very beginning, ABAS provides you with an ERP system that is also used by midsize and large abas customers. Right from the start you should opt for the ERP solution, which provides you with all possibilities for the future with its full function range and full flexibility in terms of scalability and growth. Every step of the way your abas software partner will accompany you with his experience and advice. This long-term partnership ensures a unique high level of customer satisfaction that is a driving force and of high value for ABAS. ABAS has impressed and convinced us from the very beginning. The extremely short implementation period of only 2 months, even though a very high number of tasks had to be managed, proves that the decision for abas Business Software and the implementation partner was the right one. We are still impressed and very happy with ABAS. Michael Jagdt, Manager, lignotecmassivholz GmbH Sector of industry: Wood processing Number of licenses:
