SAP Business One for SMBs and mid-size: a manufacturing and distribution ERP, with Mexico localization
We implement SAP Business One for mid-size manufacturing and distribution companies that have outgrown their current system. Finance, purchasing, sales, inventory and production in a single ERP, with ecosystem add-ons and Mexico localization (CFDI 4.0, complements, SAT). Typical 8-12 week implementation with your configuration and data 100% yours.
SAP Business One is SAP’s ERP for SMBs and mid-size companies: a single system for finance, purchasing, sales, CRM, inventory and production, on SAP HANA.
It is the natural step up when you have outgrown spreadsheets or a basic accounting system but do not yet need (or want to pay for) an enterprise S/4HANA. We specialize in manufacturing and distribution: inventory control across multiple warehouses and DCs, bills of materials and production orders, MRP, and traceability from quotation to delivery. We extend what the standard does not cover with ecosystem add-ons and custom development via the Service Layer and SDK / DI API, and we close Mexican compliance with localization: CFDI 4.0, payment complements, withholdings and SAT-aligned reports. We are a software factory founded in 2018 (Monterrey + Texas, CMMI Level 2) and a partner within the SAP ecosystem: we are not SAP, we are the ones who implement it and hand you documented configuration and code that is 100% yours.

Data migration
Cleanup, mapping and load of catalogs, balances and history from your current system, with reconciliation reports prior to go-live.
Training and go-live
Per-role sessions for users and IT, cutover plan, acceptance testing and controlled launch with post-go-live support.
QA and documented handoff with ARIA
Functional and integration testing backed by our internal ARIA platform, with documented configuration, developments and manuals that are 100% yours.
How we work
Discovery and scope
We map your manufacturing/distribution processes, define scope, team and work plan, and size licenses so you do not overpay.
Fit-to-standard design
We design the to-be with standard Business One processes, identify real gaps and decide what is solved with an add-on, configuration or custom development.
Configuration and development
We configure the modules, integrate add-ons, develop extensions via the Service Layer/SDK and set up Mexico localization, in sprints with validations.
Migration and testing
We migrate catalogs, balances and history, run functional and user-acceptance tests and reconcile data before go-live.
Go-live and support
Per-role training, controlled cutover, supported launch and post-go-live support, with the option to continue under AMS support. Deliverable: configuration, developments and manuals that are 100% yours.
Tech stack
The tools and platforms we build it with — chosen for your problem, not for hype.
Frequently asked questions
Business One or S/4HANA? Which suits me?
Business One is ideal for SMBs and mid-size companies (roughly 1 to 300 employees) with standard processes and a limited budget; it typically deploys in 8-12 weeks. S/4HANA is for larger companies with multiple plants, advanced manufacturing or complex regulatory requirements. The decision depends on your transaction volume, organizational complexity and 5-year growth projection. We do honest sizing before recommending.
How much does it cost and how long does it take to implement Business One?
As an estimate, a SAP Business One implementation for mid-size companies usually ranges from $500K to $2M MXN including licenses, implementation and training, and the typical project takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on module count, users and integrations. Licenses are paid perpetually or by subscription. We size precisely to avoid overspending and unnecessary licenses.
Does Business One comply with CFDI 4.0 and the SAT?
Yes, with Mexico localization. We configure CFDI 4.0, payment complements, withholdings, DIOT and SAT-aligned reports directly inside the ERP, without manual patches or loose files. It is one of the points where working with a team that knows Mexico’s fiscal reality adds the most value.
Is it suitable for manufacturing and distribution?
Yes, it is our focus. For manufacturing we configure bills of materials, production orders, MRP and costing with traceability from raw material to finished product. For distribution, inventory control across multiple warehouses and DCs, stock valuation, picking/packing and the full flow from quotation to delivery. When the standard falls short, we extend with add-ons or custom development.
Can it be extended or integrated with other systems?
Yes. We extend Business One with ecosystem add-ons and custom development via the Service Layer and SDK / DI API, without breaking the standard or upgrades. We also integrate it with e-commerce, CRM, banking or legacy systems to eliminate double data entry. The configuration and code we produce are your property, with no vendor lock-in.
