ISlide’s Use of Innovation with SAP Business One in the Cloud to Reach New Customers
Mon · 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM
Justin Kittredge - President, CEO, and Janitor, ISlide Inc.
Mon, Oct 28, 2019 · 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM
ISlide’s Use of Innovation with SAP Business One in the Cloud to Reach New Customers
Justin Kittredge, founder of ISlide, knows the meaning of value. During his appearance on Shark Tank, he turned down an investment offer that didn’t match what he knew ISlide was worth, so Justin and his team have since worked tirelessly to continue growing their business. What ISlide really needed in order to grow was the ability to create new sales channels through fast deployments of customized microsites, a new customized customer experience rather than a generic experience, and all of this in a fully integrated system. Justin knew the way to get there was by finding a way to reduce initial capital investment and create more flexibility with the cloud.
Using SAP Business One and especially relying on cloud technology, ISlide has seen an increase of revenue, more customers, higher customer satisfaction, process automation, and more as well as better data analytics. Now that marketing is fully tied into B2B, customers have more options today and their needs are addressed proactively. ERP and cloud innovation help ISlide understand its customers, enabling higher levels of customer satisfaction along with increased revenue.
In this inspiring keynote, you’ll hear from an entrepreneur who knows value when he sees it—or hears it. Join Justin for this fascinating story of a company that lets people stand in what they stand for.

ISlide’s Comprehensive Approach to B2B Management Drives Customers and Revenue
ISlide found itself in a predicament not unlike many other organizations using SAP Business One: a patchwork assembly of disparate technology that did not allow ISlide to quickly adapt to changing customer needs and emerging business trends. Without an integrated solution, ISlide was unable to create a consistent framework for affiliates or generate useful information out of the vast amounts of customer data. By developing a strong relationship with Focused Impressions, ISlide was able to leverage the FocusPoint e-commerce platform to create a comprehensive and fully integrated B2B management system that provided new customer insight through effective customer analytics.
In addition to creating an innovative and easy B2B experience that addresses customer needs, ISlide increased its revenue and customer base as well as developed new revenue channels that weren’t available previously. ISlide was able to lower its ongoing operating costs as a result of automation and was able to redeploy some staff members to other critical business tasks.
Businesses that don’t innovate or adapt will be at risk of losing customers and revenue. Join Paul and Ed in this session to learn from their insights and see benefits inside your own organization.

Reinventing Your Business with SAP Cloud-Based Solutions
A familiar struggle in business is identifying common problem areas that impact not only the culture of the company but also the efficiency and attitude of the team. Implementing SAP Business One as a cloud-based ERP system has allowed us to ask better questions about our business and see relevant data that was not possible in our previous software.
As a family-owned business for 60 years, we continue to strive for a culture of excellence, and SAP has brought efficiency and a higher standard for manufacturing accuracy, customer communication, and overall revenue. We have seen a dramatic increase in sales revenue since implementation, including reduced overhead and notable increases in the productivity, efficiency, and attitude of our team. Our team spends less time with internal paperwork and more time with customers and vendors, which is an obvious “win” for our organization. Since the implementation, we have asked more hard questions about how we run our business and “why.” This has effectively reinvented our entire core business and allowed us to remain relevant to the marketplace.

From Chaos to Harmony: How Favorite Fishing Managed Explosive Growth Across 3 Brands
Managing three different company brands amid an explosion of growth comes with a host of challenges. Add a disparate technology stack with conflicting systems, and anyone would be at their wit’s end trying to make sense of it all.
Not one prone to panic, Winston Tucker knew that in order to channel the immediate success his companies were experiencing into sustained growth, he needed to put together a long-term plan that would give him a platform that would integrate data from across the various businesses into a single source of truth. He also knew that too many customizations would leave him slowed down by lengthy upgrades when it came time to update his systems. With the help of some smart partnerships, Winston spearheaded a plan that brought harmony to his company out of a cloud of chaos.

Enjoying the Automated Life
Managing technology across multiple business units with different order processes is daunting to say the least. That is until you automate. In this session, Joe Leimer will share how DRI and its affiliated companies used SAP Business One and SPS Commerce (EDI) since 2012 to streamline the needs of four very unique apparel businesses. In record time, the team integrated solutions to better manage tens of thousands of parent purchase orders across more than 20 trading partners, supporting direct-to-consumer shipments, special/custom orders, and anything else customers have asked for. Built-in flexibility allows each business unit to run its operations to match customer expectations while eliminating manual processes and stress for DRI. The retail teams use one screen for visibility to all orders, and the best part is the company can confidently say, “yes” when a retailer asks if EDI trading requirements can be met.

How Corporate Culture Can Make or Break Your SAP Innovation Strategy
Are you looking to get more out of SAP Business One by improving processes, integrating with third-party software, moving to HANA, and taking advantage of mobile? Are you working on anything innovative with SAP Business One that’s going to be a game changer and set you apart from the competition?
Without the right corporate culture in place, these plans will likely fail. As Peter Drucker said: "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast".
Tim Guest is managing director of SAP Business One user Zoedale Ltd in the U.K. and has firsthand experience of this. After implementing SAP Business One in 2014, Zoedale Ltd went on a three-year cultural change program, which saw 50% of its existing staff leave or get fired. In 2019 the 15-person team is working to a set of values and principles; the culture really is about challenging the status quo and constantly looking at ways to improve processes.
This session will give attendees a few simple steps to help them define their values and principles and create a culture that not only accepts change but also drives change.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go with Boyum Usability!

Mon, Oct 28, 2019 · 1:30 PM - 2:10 PM
Oh, the Places You’ll Go with Boyum Usability!
With the implementation of the Boyum Usability and Pack and Print packages at Dynamic Computer Corporation (DCC), the efficiencies and savings have been phenomenal. After implementing SAP Business One, the team at DCC suspected they were not set up to properly utilize dates and lead times. This caused manual processes and workarounds to be utilized by sales, purchasing, and production, and it led to a waste of human capital and introduced risk of not meeting customer deadlines. The advantage of using Boyum was in allowing DCC to trigger the calculation on multiple events and not be limited by the formatted search rules.
Boyum also has a feature that prevents certain changes to sales orders, a task difficult to accomplish without the Usability package.
The enhancement to purchase order status allows DCC to store and update notes to line items even if a purchase order is partially closed, and those notes can be made visible on the sales order. This creates efficiencies for all and allows all quick access to the information needed.
Probably the most helpful feature is that Usability allows DCC to customize screens/modules by moving user-defined fields, creating new tabs, removing unused fields, setting up custom tab defaults, etc.—this has allowed DCC to onboard new employees quickly and more efficiently while reducing the risk of human error.
The process improvements translate into both operational improvement and improve your ability to produce it on time and to get it right the first time, increasing customer satisfaction and cash in the door.

SAP can be a bit overwhelming the first few times someone tries to use it. There is a lot of power and functionality under the hood that may not be easy to find for a first-time or newer user.
By taking some of the more commonplace tasks (creating a sales order, looking up a product in inventory, entering a new business partner, etc.) and giving a few step-by-step instructions, along with some tips and tricks, we hope to provide an easy introduction to SAP that people can take with them to the other sessions as well as back home.

No More Hand-Keying Orders!
With its four associated companies, Design Resources Inc. (DRI) must take in orders from a huge variety of customers in a wide variety of formats. Processing orders for custom-decorated apparel from college bookstores across the U.S., major sports leagues, a direct-to-customer BigCommerce website, and a sales rep team distributed across the U.S., the IT team at DRI has listened to the business, which says, “We don’t want our team hand-keying orders.”
The IT team has designed systems to take in orders in EASI, SPS Commerce’s RSX, custom XML, PromoStandards, intercompany (within SAP), BigCommerce API, and direct to database. By parsing these formats into our database and then providing standardized views to make the information look the same to our users and to SAP Business One, the business can then either automatically import the orders or allow users to approve orders for import using a web portal.
We will look at how DRI has utilized custom, in-house-developed tools and reseller tools such as Third Wave Systems’ BizWeaver and Orbis Software’s TaskCentre to drive its companies a little bit closer to 0% manual order entry every day.

Redi Bag Targets Transportation Savings Using SAP Business One UDO Capabilities
Redi Bag USA is a plastic films manufacturer that provides plastic bags, films, and containers for the grocery, industrial, and health care market segments. As Redi Bag USA grew in size, we needed to add additional capability to aggregate shipments into truckloads with stop-offs to ship more freight on fewer trucks.
You will learn how Redi Bag, in just eight weeks, designed, built, and implemented a load-building module that easily allows aggregation of multiple orders delivering into one or many customers on a single truckload. Hear about how Giancarlo, VP of technology at Redi Bag, worked with Daryl, VP of operations, on devising the functional specs and implemented them using SAP Business One.
We will walk you through the journey on how Redi Bag is leveraging this custom load-building module in SAP Business One and how it drives other efficiencies and automation. The automation frees up valuable time from our shipping staff to focus on delivering the shipments on time, without damage, and at the most cost-effective mode of shipment.
After a month using this tool, we realized a reduction in cost of 10–30% for any truckload shipments with multiple destinations.

It is too easy to say, “I’ll get to it” or “tomorrow.” In many ways we have become numb to disappointment and broken commitments. This expectation starts to fade into our character as individuals. Amanda Messer believes that every individual has the strength to become a person of their word. As the co-founder of an international social movement, Amanda shares her insights and actionable ways to become better at fulfilling commitments. She inspires others to become more accountable to their promises through compelling and real-life examples from the because I said I would movement.

Building an Accountability Culture of Learning and Innovative Thinking
Looking at my business, I used to think, “somebody should fix that problem.” Then I realized I am that somebody and accountability started with me. I overcame my delusion, but I realized that to have accountability from my team, they had to know the end game. This meant total transparency of the company’s vision and long-term goals at every level of the organization. SAP Business One provides the foundation for data transparency to accompany our process and leadership transparency.
In this session, Milena Radakovic, president at Nexus Exhibits, will share how the single most costly business issue today is the inability to effectively execute key strategies. She will describe how, after three years of transformation, Nexus now has a high-performance team culture of accountability and innovation to be proud of. Learn strategies that you can use to build a culture of trust that motivates people to accomplish more.

Organizations want to focus their attention on business expansion, but many are bogged down by the hassle of having to integrate the software and connectors that make up their complex e-commerce ecosystems. Especially when handling large-scale accounts, businesses want to minimize manual workloads and maximize automation. This is integrated e-commerce’s sweet spot.
Still, many organizations are turning to shopping cart software or interfacing solutions: approaches that create more siloes, are traditionally kept separate from the ERP, and require data synchronization and replication. That doesn’t have to be the case.

Small Firm That Packs a Punch: Budgeting, Forecasting, and Modeling with BI360

Small Firm That Packs a Punch: Budgeting, Forecasting, and Modeling with BI360
Gabrielle Gutierrez, the SVP at First Eagle Investment Management (FEIM), came from a large firm that had the resources to devote people and money to creating and using a complex budgeting solution. She is impressed that at a small firm like FEIM can have an accessible, user-friendly solution that lets nonfinance people be part of the budgeting process and therefore have a greater impact in the performance of the company. Users simply log in to a web portal and enter their budgets. They don’t even need to use Excel. (Excel is only used by the designers of the system.)
Forecasting/modeling was a very manual process for the FEIM accounting team, with most of the effort being spent on extracting data from various systems. The team purchased BI360 to optimize their current SAP Business One investment and be able to automate the data extraction and use it for designing models with Excel. With BI360 and SAP Business One, models get created via a web browser, and they can change drivers and assumptions and create, save, and compare countless scenarios to facilitate informed analysis and decision-making. Through the year, forecasts can be updated continuously with updated actual results and according to changing conditions.
BI360 helped FEIM create easy-to-use and robust budget templates to enter information and then use it in SAP Business One. BI360 fully integrates with SAP Business One and acts as an extension of each system.
FEIM realizes that there is much more to what BI360 can do for them and is planning on rolling out financial reports once the SAP upgrade is complete. Gabrielle used to have a bottom-up approach and now has a top-down approach, which the team prefers and now utilizes with BI360. BI360 is helping a “very small firm” like FEIM do world-class analysis and decision-making. Further, the organization is adding more users on a regular basis.

How a Wholesale Distributor Doubled Its Efficiency with WiSys
Ram Products is a wholesale distributor of repair and maintenance products, offering the immediate delivery of managed product from mobile warehouses. Ram products had several operational challenges related to speed and accuracy in the operations of purchase order receiving, production, in-transit transfers, picking, and cycle counting. These processes were either slow, prone to errors, or required more than one person to complete these tasks.
To resolve these challenges, James Shotts, director of operations for Ram Products, chose to implement a warehouse management system (WMS) solution in the warehouse. Ram Products spent considerable time evaluating WMS solutions before selecting WiSys. The organization’s evaluation was based on how focused the WMS company was on SAP Business One, experience with HANA, ability to demonstrate the product, and cost.
This session will be a deep dive into RAM Products’ WMS transformation as James shares its journey that doubled efficiency, automated workflows, and decreased the number of times that product needed to be touched and validated by people in the warehouse.

The Power of Automated Business Process
Nowadays, e-commerce has become a basic tool that helps business grow. It is not just about having the tool itself, but the challenge lies in how to maintain the combination of desired business process, customer satisfaction, and the right technology running behind it.
Bailey’s runs SAP Business One and multiple e-commerce platforms. As the business continues growing, we have hundreds of thousands of customers and products with thousands of attributes and product options. It was a big challenge to maintain the huge volume of daily B2B and B2C transactions and the wide variety of attributes on products level and on the business partner level while abiding by our firm standards and data security policy.
To aid with that, ITM Development provided fully integrated SAP Business One solutions and customized e-commerce development, including full synchronization between SAP Business One and all e-commerce platforms and marketplaces, fraud detection system, return merchandise authorization (RMA), and Authoriz.net, all within one single version of SAP Business One, which can also monitor correct data flow and accuracy of data integrity. A customized development of Magento was also needed, such as a complex product page with information coming from multiple resources (attributes, files, UDT), and a complex filtration mode and custom shipping method required unique capabilities.
Now we are proud to have fully automated business processes, and as result, we could be able to reduce the operational costs and avoid human mistakes to increase the productivity and the revenue accordingly.

Material requirements planning (MRP) can seem like an overwhelming task to take on. You can never think you are ready or feel like you are missing information in your system to have it work properly. The goal is to start small with one item and build from there. During this session we will walk through how we started using MRP at Saltwater Brewery and how we have grown with it as the brewery grew. See the ways you can jump into the shallow end of the MRP pool to get used to the process before you dive into the deep end!

CRM for More Than Just Your Sales Team: Managing Customers Inside and Out
Many organizations use CRM software to enable sales teams to track customer information and manage active deals. But customer relationships start long before the sales cycle begins, and they continue long after it ends. There are other relationships to manage in the business, too. What about key suppliers and ongoing activities with them? The accessibility of customer information among internal teams, including interactions and status, shouldn’t be ignored either.
When businesses ask about CRM, they often focus on sales and tracking active deals. But where do the deals come from? Increasingly, businesses are employing digital marketing to “fill the funnel” and are becoming more focused on tracking social media and website visitor behavior. Consider the possibilities if this information were directly accessible to the entire organization in your CRM system. This is possible today.

Delivering on the Promise of Reliable, Self-Service Business Intelligence
Dennis, VP of operations and supply chain at Arani, recognized the need for improved operational efficiency that the company could manage in-house. The organization needed a more reliable and scalable analytics solution.
Arani’s existing SAP Business One framework was unable to provide the types of reports needed. As a result, Dennis spent a significant amount of time manipulating SAP Business One data to then start creating a lot of reports in Microsoft Access and Excel. As the business continued to grow at a rapid pace, the management team was unable to make proactive decisions due to its limited insight into crucial information and its reactionary approach to reporting.
With help from NewIntelligence, Arani implemented a suite of analytics software that not only met Arani’s current needs but also allowed for the company’s continued growth. Knowing Arani’s team was not fully armed with an IT department, NewIntelligence identified the following top priorities: data integrity, reporting efficiency, and self-service.
Building the Arani solution took just 68 days from kickoff to rollout. The new solution was adopted quickly companywide. Arani operations, executives, sales, and marketing teams now rely on the ability to create, schedule, and distribute custom reports daily.
Through the Arani experience, NewIntelligence developed the SAP B1 QuickStart analytics solution. Now, SAP Business One users facing similar reporting and analytics demands can take advantage of NewIntelligence’s SAP B1 QuickStart solution. Business professionals are equipped to create and analyze their own sophisticated SAP Business One reports and dashboards with little training and no help from IT.

Connecting People and Process to SAP Business One
While small and midsize enterprises’ (SMEs) awareness of potentially transformative technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and image recognition is increasing, one thing remains true: In many ways, most SMEs have still not fully leveraged the more fundamental power of connectivity, mobility, integration, and process automation within their organizations and ecosystems. As such, the businesses are also not fully leveraging the power of the source of truth they've invested so much in, the ERP (SAP Business One).
In this session we'll cover the general people, processes, SAP connection problems, and other constraints still lurking in businesses of all types and the type of solution those problems lend themselves to. We'll talk about how Universal Display Corporation, Zeus Scientific, Innovative Communication Systems, OG Eyewear, Michael Aram, to name a few, leveraged the Versago/Bizweaver web/mobile platform to connect, simplify, and automate a wide variety of operational scenarios and the ROI the businesses experienced.
We'll conclude with tips for targeting areas to “get connected” and return hours to staff and management for higher-value activity.

Hummert International, an 80-year-old family-owned horticulture equipment distribution company, sought to optimize its online sales in 2018 after decades of success with traditional channels. At the time, its existing web store offered minimal flexibility, a weak customer experience, and little back-office integration.

The organization did so by optimizing its customer experience with advanced segmentation, an enhanced product catalog, and a more streamlined purchase journey.
But where is the organization now? Have its wins continued in year two?

Workshop 2: SAP Business One Integration Framework: Making the Most of SAP's Toolbox
In your growing business, it’s increasingly critical to have integration between your different systems and to automate data transfer between existing systems. To optimize daily work and to reduce data inconsistency, you must integrate different data sources. To enable communication between different departments, offices, and even companies, it is necessary to integrate your business process and functions. Integration is the name of the game, and the SAP Business One Integration Framework is the tool that enables your success.
The integration framework for SAP Business One is a collaboration infrastructure. The multiple-purpose solution provides message-oriented middleware, a service bus, business process management, and acts as a data provider for mobile solutions as well as a data consumer. Are you making the best use of this tool within your organization? In this four-hour workshop, you’ll learn from SAP experts how you can successfully use the SAP Business One Integration Framework to integrate functions, applications, and elements of your business to propel your business forward.
Starting by establishing a baseline understanding of SAP Business One Integration Framework and its functionality, the workshop will then move into showcasing a real-world integration, and you’ll follow along step by step in your own practice environment. The workshop will include multiple examples of integrations and examples of additional functionality within the SAP Business One Integration Framework like workflow management, managing tasks, and keeping track of multi-step integrations.

The multiple-purpose solution provides message-oriented middleware, a service bus, business process management, and acts as a data provider for mobile solutions as well as a data consumer. Are you making the best use of this tool within your organization? In this four-hour workshop, you’ll learn from SAP experts how you can successfully use the SAP Business One Integration Framework to integrate functions, applications, and elements of your business to propel your business forward.
Starting by establishing a baseline understanding of SAP Business One Integration Framework and its functionality, the workshop will then move into showcasing a real-world integration, and you’ll follow along step by step in your own practice environment. The workshop will include multiple examples of integrations and examples of additional functionality within the SAP Business One Integration Framework like workflow management, managing tasks, and keeping track of multi-step integrations.

Workshop 3: Advanced Queries and Mastering SAP Crystal Reports
SAP Business One has some amazing capabilities to make your data work harder for you. But are you taking advantage of all the tools you have at your disposal? Do you know how to configure reports to get just the right information that you and your team are looking for?
In this workshop, you’ll take a deep dive into understanding and creating complex queries that can give your organization a better grasp on core business performance metrics. We’ll start with some of the basics like table relationships and commonly used tables in SAP reporting. From there, we’ll start to look at the more advanced functions like SQL views, stored procedure, and SQL commands.
With your own laptop and a practice instance of SAP Business One, you’ll be able to manipulate a sample set of data and really learn how to use various SQL functions that everyone should be aware of, but many organizations aren’t. We’ll wrap up by teaching you some template reports like sales YTD and landed cost analysis that you can take home with you and immediately see the benefits of mastering queries and reporting for yourself.
