Is toolDeploy right for you?

Built for SME manufacturers ready to extend SAP Business One.

Three situations where toolDeploy helps SME manufacturers already on SAP Business One, or adding the Boyum Solutions to it.

Situation 01

SAP Business One is live, and manufacturing needs more

Today
SAP Business One is your ERP backbone, and you are ready to extend it with a certified manufacturing, warehouse or usability solution.
What changes
The solution is deployed by people who know manufacturing processes, not only the software, so it fits the plant from the start.
See the five phases (on this page)
Situation 02

Manufacturing tools sit outside the system

Today
Separate MRP spreadsheets, standalone scheduling and disconnected quality tools run alongside SAP Business One. Each works in isolation, so data has to be reconciled and there is no single source of truth.
What changes
toolDeploy brings them together in one integrated set of Boyum Solutions within your SAP Business One database.
See the five phases (on this page)
Situation 03

Production runs, but management cannot see it

Today
Work in progress is tracked on a whiteboard, OEE is estimated rather than measured, and product costs are worked out in spreadsheets days after the production order closes.
What changes
Factory data capture at the terminal, with the reports and dashboards that turn production activity into information leadership can decide on.

Usability layer

B1 Usability Package (B1UP)

An add-on for SAP Business One that lets consultants carry out configuration tasks that previously needed a developer, in modules switched on as needed.

The five phases

Five phases. One complete deployment.

Each phase has a defined scope and builds on the one before, from forming the right team to a process-aligned solution running live in your SAP Business One.

Phase 01 of 05

Do Initiation

Set up the governance, the team and the shared expectations that carry the project through all five phases to go-live.

On the way to go-live

1 of 5 phasesNext: Create BBP

Activities

  • Team formation
  • Setting expectations
  • Project kick-off
Phase 02 of 05

Create BBP

The Business Blueprint (BBP): how your plant manufactures today, how it should run with the solution, and the exact reports and dashboard formats it needs.

On the way to go-live

2 of 5 phasesNext: Articulate Solution

Activities

  • As-Is process
  • To-Be process
  • Report formats
Phase 03 of 05

Articulate Solution

The Business Blueprint becomes a configured, integrated Boyum Solution: best practices applied, the tool deployed and the integrations set up.

On the way to go-live

3 of 5 phasesNext: Conduct UAT

Activities

  • Best practices
  • Tool deployment
  • Integrations
Phase 04 of 05

Conduct UAT

The configured solution is tested against real manufacturing scenarios, so every process, report and integration works as the blueprint specified, and users are ready before go-live.

On the way to go-live

4 of 5 phasesNext: Final Go-Live

Activities

  • Test cases
  • User training
  • Scenario testing
Phase 05 of 05

Final Go-Live

The final data upload, the cut-over and go-live, with BPAS supporting your users as the plant goes live.

BPAS proprietary roadmap

Steps 01, 02, 03 and 05. The Boyum Solutions, deployed.

smartStep, Excel to Intelligence, is the BPAS roadmap for SME manufacturers on SAP Business One: a maturity check and eight steps, each paying back before the next. toolDeploy deploys the Boyum Solution behind four of them.

Steps 01, 02, 03 and 05Deployed by toolDeployB1UP on Digital core; Beas Manufacturing on Plan and on Make & control; Produmex WMS on Store & trace.

What you receive

Three deliverables. Each traced to the blueprint.

At the end of toolDeploy you hold three deliverables, each addressing a different side of the value your plant gets from SAP Business One.

A solution for the challenges and bottlenecks in your manufacturing

A deployed, configured and tested Boyum Solution that addresses the challenges and bottlenecks found in the Business Blueprint. Each part traces to a requirement written in the blueprint.

Built in phase 03 (on this page)

Solution architecture, licences and integrated deployment

The combination of Boyum modules your plant needs and how each is configured; the licences you need, no more and no fewer; and the installation, configuration and integration of every component within your SAP Business One, tested against the blueprint.

Built in phase 03 (on this page)

The reports and dashboards for manufacturing decisions

The reports and dashboards specified in the Business Blueprint, built and validated in your live SAP Business One, for production managers and leadership from the day of go-live.

Specified in phase 02 (on this page)

In a BPAS gap review you get a short list of what is costing your plant dates and money today, and the order to fix it in.

One integrated system. At the end of toolDeploy your plant runs on one system, aligned to your processes and visible from the shop floor to the boardroom.

Beyond the deliverables

More than a configured system. A plant that uses it.

01Process first

World manufacturing best practices

Every configuration decision is measured against world manufacturing best practices. Where your processes already match, the solution reinforces and automates them; where they differ, the To-Be design in the blueprint closes the gap.

02Change management

Adoption managed with the ADKAR® model

Adoption is planned, not assumed. Everyone the deployment affects understands why the change is happening, wants it to succeed, knows how to work in the new system, can show it, and is supported in keeping it.

ADKAR®, applied to every toolDeploy engagement

  1. AwarenessEvery team member understands why the deployment is happening and what will change.
  2. DesireActive participation is fostered, not enforced.
  3. KnowledgeRole-specific training, so every user knows how to work in the new system.
  4. AbilityUser acceptance and scenario testing confirm the capability before go-live.
  5. ReinforcementHand-holding and mentoring after go-live sustain the adoption.
Where toolDeploy sits

After procEnact, before devCenter. For a reason.
