CUSTOMER STORY

BioVision Seed Labs, a Canadian seed and grain testing company, wanted to integrate its accounting and invoicing processes with its laboratory information management system (LIMS) — to reduce data entry duplication and errors. The SAP Business One application for small and midsize businesses met its needs.

Key Challenges Duplication of data entry, particularly invoicing data No analytical capability in the existing financial management system

Project Objectives Integrate LIMS data with financials and invoicing Reduce data-entry errors and duplication

Key Benefits Data integrity improved Resource requirements reduced by the equivalent of one half-time employee Information infrastructure no longer limiting growth System estimated to pay for itself in two years

Why SAP Solutions Ability to integrate with existing LIMS Flexibility in reporting and customization Future potential to add customer relationship management

Implementation Highlights Twelve-day implementation Three-month pilot running in parallel with existing system Among the first SAP Business One implementations in Canada Uneventful cut-over at go-live
