Years ago, when SAP Business One was often talked about as a small ERP for very small companies, it was not foreseeable that SAP Business One would grow into a solution that addressed companies with several hundred employees.
Whether intentional or not, the fact is that SAP Business One now feels at home in such companies. There are almost no areas left where SAP Business One must be able to cope with "bigger" challenges. Where the standard cannot, one of hundreds of extensions is available.
However, there is one area that is still somewhat neglected: Human Resources. SAP Business One can record and manage HR master data and there are solutions for payroll accounting, leave and time recording. However, the requirements of dynamically growing SMEs go beyond this. The demand for solutions for personnel management, from applicant management to the coordination of further training, is increasing. Personnel should not just be managed. Constant, harmonised communication should be managed. Employees should be supported and encouraged. Opportunities and risks should be recognised at an early stage and personnel development measures should be planned.
A software company from India has now made a start. ALTURA PLEDGE is the name of the HR software that actually promises one thing.
PLEDGE is an SAP Business One is a full-featured HCM (Human Capital Management) solution for medium-sized companies.
Currently, the HCM solution is equipped with country-specific and legally compliant templates for countries in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. It offers functions that are on a par with enterprise-class HR solutions.
Let's see if they dare to make the leap to Europe. However, this can also be used as an inspiration for German manufacturers of HCM software.
