Implementation that starts from how you work, not a generic template
We configure SAP Business One around your existing processes, migrate your real data, and stay through the first weeks of live running — so go-live is a transition, not a gamble.
Most failed ERP rollouts don't fail on the software — they fail on the gap between how the system was configured and how the business actually operates. Our implementation method starts by mapping your real workflows: approvals, exceptions, the manual workarounds your team has built over years. Only then do we configure SAP Business One to match.
You get a named project lead, a fixed-scope statement of work, and a realistic go-live date set after discovery — not before it. Data migration, user training and a defined hypercare window are part of every engagement, not an add-on.
A complete implementation track, not a configuration handoff
Process discovery & blueprinting
Workshops with finance, ops and warehouse teams to document how work actually moves before we touch configuration.
System configuration
SAP B1 set up against your chart of accounts, approval chains, document flows and numbering rules.
Data migration
Cleansed, validated migration of customers, vendors, items, open balances and historical transactions.
Workflow & approval setup
Multi-level approval procedures, alerts and authorisation limits configured to match your controls.
User training
Role-based training for finance, sales, purchasing and warehouse users, not generic system walkthroughs.
Go-live & hypercare
On-site or remote support through cutover and a defined stabilisation period immediately after.
How a rollout actually runs
Five phases, each with a defined exit point before the next begins.
Discover
Document current processes, pain points and reporting needs across departments.
Design
Translate findings into a configuration blueprint and migration plan you sign off on.
Build & Migrate
Configure the system, migrate and validate data in a staging environment.
Go-Live
Cut over to production with the team on standby through the first transactions.
Stabilise
Hypercare period to resolve early issues and confirm the system holds under real volume.

What changes for your business
Faster time-to-value
A scoped, phased plan gets core finance and operations live in weeks, not quarters.
Lower disruption
Training and cutover are scheduled around your business calendar, not ours.
Built for your process
Configuration reflects how you actually approve, ship and invoice — not a textbook default.
Internal ownership from day one
Your team understands the system because they helped design it.
How a light engineering manufacturer went live in 9 weeks with zero rollbacks
What a discovery-first implementation actually changes versus a generic configuration handoff.
Background
The manufacturer was running finance on entry-level accounting software with production and inventory tracked separately in spreadsheets. A previous attempt at an ERP rollout, with a different provider, had stalled three months in and was quietly abandoned.
The challenge
- Purchase and expense approvals were tracked over email with no audit trail, making month-end reconciliation slow and dispute-prone.
- Inventory counts in the spreadsheet routinely drifted from what was physically on the shop floor, reconciled manually once a month.
- There was no single view of which orders were actually in production versus just scheduled.
- The team was wary of another rollout after the previous attempt — configuration had started before anyone had mapped how approvals actually worked.
The solution
Discovery workshops mapped the existing approval chains and production tracking before any configuration began, specifically to avoid repeating the earlier failed attempt. The rollout was phased — finance and inventory went live first, with production following once the first phase had stabilised. Data was migrated and validated in a staging environment ahead of cutover, and a defined hypercare period included daily check-ins with the project lead for the first three weeks after go-live.

Implementation FAQs
The questions that come up in almost every first call.
How long does an implementation actually take?
Anywhere from 2 weeks (Express, single entity, core modules) to 4 months (Enterprise, multi-company, custom workflows). Discovery sets the real number before you commit to a date.
Do we have to stop using our current system during the switch?
No. Your existing system stays live while we build and validate SAP B1 in a staging environment. Cutover happens once data is reconciled and your team has signed off.
What data actually moves across?
Master data (customers, vendors, items), open balances, and — if you want it — historical transaction history. Migration scope is agreed during discovery, not assumed.
Who from our side needs to be involved?
One internal project sponsor for decisions, plus process owners from finance, sales, purchasing and the warehouse for a handful of discovery and validation sessions — not a full-time team.
What happens right after go-live?
A defined hypercare window — typically 2–4 weeks — where the implementation team stays on standby to fix issues as real transactions hit the system, before handing off to ongoing support.
Can we customize beyond standard configuration?
Yes — user-defined fields and tables, custom forms, and the SAP B1 add-on ecosystem cover most needs without touching core code or risking future upgrades.
