SAP AG has launched an SAP Business One iPhone application to enable small businesses to check on inventory and customers, access reports, receive alerts and process approvals while they’re on the move.
According to SAP, the mobile Business One application, which is free to those with a professional user license of 8.8 patch level 12 or higher, will give users real-time access to data and allow them to easily navigate, respond and trigger remote processes.
Users can also receive alerts on specific events, such as deviation from approved discounts, prices or credit limits, manage customer and partner data and access detailed information about current products, including purchasing and sales price, available quantity, product specifications and item pictures.
Mike Nielsen, CEO of Coolshop.dk, which distributes interactive entertainment products in the Nordic region, said having 24-hour access to KPIs and changes in margins, price and inventory when travelling is crucial for Coolshop to manage its business effectively.
“SAP, along with partner Boyum IT, has enabled us to grow our business with SAP Business One and this mobile application is the natural next step to allow us to better serve our customers and react to market needs faster than ever before,” said Nielsen.
“The application speed is remarkable, allowing us to quickly access customer info from our 500,000 customer data base and get instant updates and alerts directly from SAP Business One.”
