SAP Business One, version for HANA

SAP Business One is available in two versions – SQL and HANA. The version for HANA has these exclusive capabilities;

• Enterprise Search – This is a best-in-class search function for users to search any data in the system (even text/ remark fields!) without having to open any transaction screens.
• Sales Recommendation – Provides your sales team with relevant information in real-time, empowering them to communicate confidently with customers. Examples include: real-time in-system analysis of the customer’s/ similar customers’ buying behaviour to recommend items, displaying outstanding AR / customer’s payment patterns to determine the possibility of a discount or order acceptance and more.  
• Pre-delivered Analytics – The solution is packaged with pre-delivered dashboards and KPIs that covers sales, purchasing, logistics, production, finance and CRM. Some examples are Top 10 Customers, Top 5 Sales Employees, Average Delivery Variance, Average Fulfillment Days and more.
• Pervasive Analytics for Dashboard and KPI customisation – In addition to out-of-the-box content, users can rapidly create dashboards and KPIs using the pre-defined multi-dimensional semantic layers. Users can also drill down in the dashboard view with filters to see further information. 
• Interactive Analysis –  HANA provides additional functions to complement Microsoft Excel pivot-table features, allowing users to create reports and analyse data more intuitively.  
• Intelligent Inventory Forecast – Interact with built-in statistical forecast algorithms to analyse inventory levels and optimise your demand according to observable trends or seasonal factors.
• Cash Flow Forecast – An interactive tool to help with real-time cash flow projections based on selection criteria like specific documents, certainty levels and timeline.
