Want to Buy SAP Business One.... but i have questions.....

Want to Buy SAP Business One....but i have questions and i'd rather ask the community than rely on SAP sales monkeys.

my enviroment is retail with 50 retail stores, each with 3 registers and a corporate office with 50 employees, 20 of which are warehouse guys. we also have a wholesale division but there is a chinese firewall coming up between the two divisions and i'm canning retail pro (worst POS software in my personal experience) my main goal is go find an ERP system with a fully integrated POS or a POS as a module of said software. and ultimatly automate accounting and operations functions as much as possible to eliminate the need to hire more employees as we grow (and maybe get rid of a few window lickers)

now my question is how would SAP B1 fair in this enviroment does it have its own POS module, my sales guy says there is one but i dont see any mention on it on SAP's website.

how many stores can i grow to before i need to go shopping again for a new POS/ERP

how well can it integrate with a B2C ecomm website.

i know they are big questions but the sales guy says it can do all this and more... but again hes a sales guy.

Hi,

The consultants that are currenlty implementing SAP for my company have offered for us to go to another company (that they did the installation for) to see it for our selves.

The consultancy firm should be working for your business, ask them to arrange a visit.
