An SAP alternative that fits your business.
SAP Business One and larger SAP systems are built around a standard process. When your business keeps working around that process, a system modeled on how you actually run can fit better and change faster.
Signs you've outgrown SAP
- Processes are bent to fit SAP's standard flow.
- Custom reports and add-ons depend on one partner or one person.
- Upgrades turn into projects of their own.
- Teams keep their own spreadsheets because the system is slow to change.
SAP compared with a system you own
| SAP | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| How it fits | Configured around the vendor's standard process; gaps are closed with customization, add-ons or spreadsheets | Modeled on how your business actually runs, including its exceptions |
| Who owns it | You license it; the vendor owns the code and the roadmap | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| How you pay | Subscription or license, plus implementation partner fees | Priced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term |
| After go-live | Changes go through a partner or an upgrade cycle | Managed care keeps improving it; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |
| AI | Added through the vendor's roadmap and add-ons | Built into the workflows from the start |

Questions about moving off SAP
Can thinkbridge replace SAP Business One?
Yes. thinkbridge models what the business needs from its ERP, builds a replacement that fits, and migrates the data before cutover.
Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. thinkbridge can connect to SAP and replace one area at a time, such as pricing, quoting or reporting.
Who owns the new system?
You do: the code, the data model and the business logic.
