Store to headquarters, connected in real time— SAP Business One Retail & F&B Solution
SAP Business One acts as the headquarters ERP for purchasing, inventory and finance while POS handles store sales and membership; the MTC integration middleware syncs POS and ERP in real time, so stores need B1 licenses only for management roles — not one per store.

Management headaches for chain businesses—more stores, less visibility, weaker control
Store data silos
POS data not real-time; each store maintains its own spreadsheets; HQ sees yesterday’s numbers the next dayCost:Decisions lag; problems discovered late
Fragmented loyalty management
Online / offline / delivery platforms each have separate member systems; points / vouchers / tiers don’t interoperateCost:Member value underestimated; churn rate high
Ingredient / material waste out of control
Store orders hit the kitchen without standard recipes; chefs work by feel; waste cannot be quantifiedCost:Food cost % is 3–5 points too high
Chain expansion outpaces management
New store opening—from fit-out to launch—has no standardized workflow for licenses / equipment / staffing / system initCost:Long new-store opening cycle; inconsistent quality
Supply-chain distribution is inefficient
Central kitchen / warehouse → store delivery planning is manual; over- or under-supply by gut feelCost:Stockouts hurt revenue; over-supply means spoilage
Core Module · End-to-end Business Flow
HQ → Stores → Supply Chain: integrated end-to-end
SAP Business One + POS integration + MTC retail edition connects the full chain from HQ procurement and central warehouse / kitchen to store replenishment, sales and loyalty.

SAP Business One serves as HQ ERP managing procurement, inventory and finance; the POS system manages store sales and members. MTC’s retail edition achieves real-time POS-ERP sync via integration middleware—HQ sees all store performance data on the same day. Standard recipe BOM + system-driven ingredient deduction makes waste quantifiable, comparable and improvable.

FAQ
Common questions from chain-business operators
We already have a POS system—can it integrate with SAP Business One?
MTC’s retail edition supports integration with major POS systems (e.g. Hishop, Silver Leopard, Shangmi). Daily sales / member data syncs to SAP Business One in real time or on schedule.
As we open more stores, does each one need a SAP Business One license?
No. Stores use POS + lightweight mobile apps (MERP). Only HQ / regional finance / operations staff need full SAP Business One seats. Costs are configured by actual management roles.
How far can central-kitchen recipe management go?
SAP Business One’s production module supports standard recipe BOMs + bulk dosing + output accounting. Store order data feeds back to compare against actual usage, automatically calculating waste variance.
