By Industry
Industry processes, costing and control requirements
Industry solutions reflect how a sector operates: how costs are calculated, orders are planned, inventory and production are coordinated, and which management issues reports need to show. MTC configures industry processes, fields, reports and necessary extensions on SAP Business One standard capabilities.

Scenario Solutions for Key Management Requirements
Scenario solutions combine relevant processes, system capabilities and implementation work to address management requirements that cross departmental and module boundaries.
Finance Excellence
Management requirement: Month-end close drags on for days, costing methods are inconsistent, management reports are manually assembled, true margins remain unclear.
Implementation focus: Built around the SAP Business One finance module: standardize costing and reporting, then streamline and accelerate the month-end close.
Integrated Finance & Operations
Management requirement: Business systems and finance run on two separate data sets. Reconciliation is manual, journal entries pile up at month-end, data is always lagging.
Implementation focus: Sales, purchasing, inventory, and production documents auto-generate financial entries, creating one shared data set for operations and finance.
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)
Management requirement: Sales, procurement, production and inventory plans are maintained separately, with no consolidated order-progress, delivery-date or capacity information.
Implementation focus: SAP Business One links sales orders, MRP, purchasing, production and inventory documents to manage order progress, material requirements and plan changes.
Inventory & Supply Chain
Management requirement: System stock and physical stock don’t agree, dead stock locks up working capital, batch/serial/bin tracking relies on memory.
Implementation focus: Use batch, serial number, bin location management and cycle counting to keep books and reality aligned, with dead stock visible and turnover fast. Inventory ties up cash — keep it moving.
Service Management
Management requirement: Service contract expiry goes unwatched, on-site parts never hit cost, response and SLA have no teeth. After-sales bleeds cost while losing customers.
Implementation focus: Use the SAP Business One Service module to manage equipment, contracts, calls, parts and renewals in one system, with consistent service-cost, billing and renewal records.
IPO Readiness
Management requirement: Uncertain whether current systems can meet capital-market requirements for auditability, traceability, and internal-control compliance.
Implementation focus: SAP Business One standardizes master data, approval workflows, and financial accounting, building an auditable data chain to prepare for filing.
Group Management
Management requirement: Multiple entities, multiple ledgers, multiple legal persons: consolidated reporting relies on Excel and headquarters lacks data-level control over subsidiaries.
Implementation focus: SAP Business One multi-organization capabilities plus group consolidation reports, with unified master data and costing rules and one set of books for the group.
Globalization
Management requirement: Expanding overseas or foreign investment into China, facing multi-currency, multi-GAAP, local compliance, and cross-border data requirements.
Implementation focus: SAP Business One multi-currency, multi-standard capabilities plus MTC globalization & localization services, with compliance and local teams deployed by region.
