A fixed-scope way to get started with SAP Business One
The Starter Package covers core finance, sales, purchasing and inventory on a fixed price and a fixed timeline — built for businesses outgrowing spreadsheets and entry-level accounting software, not yet ready for a full custom rollout.
Not every business is ready for — or needs — a full discovery-led implementation. Many are simply past the point where spreadsheets and entry-level invoicing software can keep finance, sales and stock in sync, and need a real system without a multi-month project attached to it.
The Starter Package configures SAP Business One's core modules using proven, out-of-the-box best-practice settings rather than a custom blueprint, with data migrated using standard templates. It's the same underlying SAP B1 platform — just deployed on a fixed scope, so you know the price and the date before you start.
Everything a growing business needs to run on one system
Core finance & accounting
Chart of accounts, GL, AP/AR and standard financial reporting configured and ready to use.
Sales & purchasing
Quotes, sales orders, purchase orders and standard document flow set up out of the box.
Inventory & stock management
Single-warehouse stock tracking with standard valuation and reorder reporting.
Templated data migration
Customers, vendors, items and opening balances migrated using standard import templates.
Remote user training
Guided training sessions for your team, covering the day-to-day screens they'll actually use.
2-week go-live support
Direct access to your project lead through cutover and the first two weeks live.
The Starter Package covers single-warehouse, single-entity setups on the standard configuration above. Multi-warehouse operations, production/MRP, multi-company structures, custom workflows and SDK development sit outside this package — and are exactly what our full Implementation and Custom Solutions services cover, whenever you're ready to step up to them.
What changes for your business
Predictable cost
One fixed price for the whole package — no scope discussions partway through.
Live in weeks, not months
Standard configuration and templated migration mean nothing waits on custom design work.
No scope creep
A defined package keeps the project from quietly expanding into something bigger.
Room to grow later
The same SAP B1 platform scales into a full implementation when you actually need one.
How a trading startup replaced spreadsheets with SAP B1 in 18 days
What a fixed-scope Starter Package actually looks like for a small, fast-moving business.
Background
The business had grown past what its founder could comfortably track in spreadsheets and a basic invoicing tool, but a multi-month custom implementation wasn't something an early-stage business of its size could justify, financially or operationally.
The challenge
- Inventory and invoicing were tracked in separate spreadsheets that were only reconciled against each other once a week, if that.
- There was no real-time view of stock on hand or actual cash position — both were estimated from whichever spreadsheet was most recently updated.
- The founder personally spent several hours a week reconciling numbers by hand instead of running the business.
- A full custom implementation would have meant a budget and timeline the business wasn't yet ready to commit to.
The solution
The Starter Package was deployed using standard templates for the chart of accounts, item master and customer/vendor records, with core finance, sales and purchasing configured on proven best-practice settings rather than a custom blueprint. Data was migrated using standard import templates instead of bespoke mapping, and the team was trained remotely across three guided sessions.
The results

SAP B1 Starter Package: frequently asked questions
The questions small and growing businesses ask before committing.
What's included in the Starter Package, and what isn't?
It covers core finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, templated data migration and training for a single entity and warehouse. Multi-warehouse, production, multi-company and custom workflow needs sit outside this package.
How is this different from a full SAP B1 implementation?
A full implementation starts from discovery and builds a configuration around your specific processes. The Starter Package uses proven, standard configuration and templated migration, which is faster and lower cost, but less tailored.
How many users does the Starter Package support?
The package is scoped for up to five users. Businesses needing more can either add users to the package or it can be a signal that a full implementation track is a better fit.
Can we upgrade to a full implementation later if we outgrow it?
Yes — since it's the same underlying SAP B1 platform, growing into multi-warehouse operations, production, or custom workflows later means extending the existing system, not starting over.
What does data migration look like on a fixed-scope package?
Customers, vendors, items and opening balances are migrated using standard import templates rather than custom data mapping, which is what keeps the timeline and price fixed.
Is the Starter Package suitable for any industry, or just general trading?
It's built around general finance, sales, purchasing and inventory needs common to most small businesses. Industry-specific requirements — like batch traceability or formula-based production — are better served by a full implementation scoped to that need.
