SMEs in serviced offices in Northampton may benefit from new app

Bosses of small and medium-sized enterprises, such as those using serviced offices in Northampton, may benefit from installing a new application on their smartphone.

The SAP Business One application is now available for purchase on iPhones and allows the user to check on aspects of their company's performance while they are away from the office.

According to the enterprise, the key features of the product are that it provides access to alerts and approvals, consumer and partner data, real-time reports and inventory monitoring.

Mike Nielsen, chief executive of Coolshop - a leading independent distributor of interactive entertainment products - said that the app has allowed his firm to react to market needs and serve its customers faster than ever before.

"As a business that operates 24/7, having access to key performance indicators … when travelling or even on holidays is crucial to managing our business effectively," he added.

SAP was founded in 1972 and claims to be the world's leading provider of software to companies.
