Why do SMEs use SAP Integration Hub?

This is often the most efficient approach and likely to reduce total cost of ownership when compared with the development of bespoke software.

The business software platforms used most often are e-Commerce storefronts, logistics portals and other cloud-based service providers.

Intercompany Solution for SAP Business One

For companies with multiple business units or subsidiaries, intercompany transactions can create complexity and cause unnecessary headaches.

The functionality within the SAP Business One Intercompany module, which comes as part of the Integration Hub, provides users with extensive digital automation across multiple company databases. Automation across multiple sites removes repetitive manual tasks from day-to-day operations and empowers your system users to work on more value add activity.

Often within a trading group there is intercompany trading for both physical stock items and service items, and a need to implement financial consolidation rules at different levels within the group. The SAP Business One Intercompany module also provides master data replication and greater visibility across the entire group with standard reporting.
