Software for Hardware and Blue Ocean Systems Announce SAP Business One Integration
(Sep 19, 2024) Software for Hardware and Blue Ocean Systems announce the integration of Software for Hardware with SAP Business One, a best-in-class enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for small to medium sized businesses.
Software for Hardware (SFH) and Blue Ocean Systems (BOS) are business units within Univerus, a self-funded company providing a platform for growth by uniting best-of-breed software solutions. Shortly after SFH was acquired by Univerus in October 2023, SFH and BOS began work to integrate SFH’s project management software with SAP Business One, a leading ERP solution offered by BOS.
“United under the same company, it was the perfect chance to collaborate and bring a new ERP option to Software for Hardware customers,” says Tom Glassco, EVP of Software for Hardware.
Software for Hardware’s project management tools have helped door and hardware distributors run more efficient, profitable businesses for over 25 years. With an easy-to-use interface, dedicated support, and a rapid return on investment, its software improves productivity for door businesses across North America. Integrating with SAP Business One underscores Software for Hardware’s commitment to offering innovative new tools to improve its customers’ business efficiency.
“For some of our customers, entry level accounting software like QuickBooks and Sage no longer meets their needs,” says Cheryl Orsi, Senior Manager of Client Support at SFH. “And we recognized that they could benefit greatly from upgrading to SAP Business One.”
SAP is the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software, with SAP Business One (B1) being their bestselling ERP solution. Built on an intelligent platform for growth and automation, B1 offers hundreds of integrations and advanced solutions to fit business’ exact requirements. It also offers both on-premises and cloud deployment options.
Blue Ocean aims to strengthen SAP Business as the right ERP for small and medium sized enterprises in the digital economy, offering flexible deployment models, a solid global business core, and leading user experience. The company adapts “big business” principles and applies them to small and medium sized companies when implementing software solutions, making them an ideal partner with SFH.
With SAP Business One, Software for Hardware customers will gain access to a range of advanced solutions in management and administration, accounting and financials, purchasing and operations, and more.
“SAP Business One allows users to configure their existing complex tasks and workflows all within the system,” explains Ryan Bourne, Senior Account Executive at Blue Ocean Systems. “The Blue Ocean team is thrilled to bring improved cost control, real-time reporting, and much more to Software for Hardware customers.”
Working under the same parent company meant that the SFH and BOS teams held aligned goals and shared resources, which ensured the project’s success. Both teams worked with dedication and diligence to execute the integration, reports Scott Long, VP of Sales and Operations at Blue Ocean Systems. “It’s been a pleasure working with everyone to ensure this integration is fully functional and tailored precisely to customers’ needs,” he says.
With this successful integration, Univerus reinforces its commitment to providing powerful products delivered by top-notch teams around the world.
