SW Syed Umer W. Procurement Executive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/12/2022 "SAP BYD from a Supply Chain Management Perspective." 3.5/5 What do you like best about SAP Business ByDesign? As part of an organization that uses Q2C (Quote to Cash) method for Order Processing, I appreciate the integration that SAP Byd offers. Every step is covered and directly connected to the next and creates a very nice flow of Information through the system. SAP BYD starts assisting the user at the Sales end where the receipt of a Customer inquiry, raising a quote and creating a Sales Order each get a separate work centre. It then leads to the Purchasing side, which includes Project planning, Materials Management, RFQ and Purchase Orders management. Then finally, at each step of the process (both Sales and Purchasing) the Accounting end is always tracking every movement of Goods & Services, Finances and Data to back the movement, helping in creating the weekly, monthly, and yearly Financial Statements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SAP Business ByDesign? SAP ByD does lack in quick customer support for any issues faced. Even though almost all issues are solved, the support has often taken a long time to respond to complaints raised by our organisation. This can cause frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SAP Business ByDesign solving and how is that benefiting you? SAP Byd is an effective ERP system for SMEs. It it provides a software solution that easily integrates well with Microsoft Office (Especially Excel) making switching to this software easier for new customers. It has a very user-friendly design. From management point of view Dashboards to show live KPIs for different work Centres is very easy and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
