ISB Opens Office in South Africa to offer Waste & Recycling SAP Software

In January 2012, ISB opened up a new office in South Africa, to focus on the Waste and Recycling Industry.

ISB has operated in the region already with SAP consulting, business transformation projects and SAP Business One software development. ISB is now going to focus on selling, implementing and supporting their SAP Waste and Reycling Solution, throughout South Africa, using the local SAP Partner Network. 

ISB for the last 12 years has been successfully operating in the United Kingdom, where it focuses on the waste and recycling industry, and therefore wants to enhance its global presence, in South Africa due to its ties, operational experience and growth in the region.

SAP Waste & Recycling One (WR1), is a module within the SAP Business One platform, that provides a fully integrated operational, financial and reporting solution to all sub vertical requirements of the waste and recycling industry.

With WR1 implementations throughout the UK, Germany and now in the US, all these developed best practices will now be available to South African waste and recycling companies, in an affordable and effective solution.

ISB and Waste & Reycling One have been awarded the global Software Solution Partner (SSP) status by SAP.  This gives customers the security in knowing that SAP fully supports and endorses the solution globally.

Chris Williams, Managing Director, ISB Global UK, comments, " we are very excited about our new office, and with our involvement already with 2 large waste companies down there already, we are keen to support our team in South Africa."

How Can SAP Business One Help My Company? Streamline Your Business Accelerate Profitable Growth

Like many decision makers in businesses, you want to focus on growing your business but instead find yourself dealing with a flood of daily operational details, ad hoc requests for information, and nonstop competitive moves. Meeting these challenges is difficult and time-consuming. When key pieces of information reside in different systems or locations, response times can lag and create customer dissatisfaction. And disjointed sales, accounting, and operational processes inevitably result in bottlenecks and reduced productivity. Multiple systems also mean additional work – such as duplicate data entries – which in turn causes errors and delays. Meanwhile, your competition is making it hard for you to find and keep customers.

Can your small business afford ERP - Can you afford not too?

Small companies often face a dilemma in deciding how to invest for the greatest return. In pure start up mode, business must invest in an operational foundation that will directly build the business.

Management by walking around is common, reporting is adhoc, supported by manual processes and spreadsheets, decision making is driven by gut feel rather than data and hard facts. These methods maybe effective in early phases, neglecting to invest in appropriate enterprise business systems can significantly hinder continued growth and profitability.

Many stumble along with a combination of spreadsheets and disparate applications thinking an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is beyond their reach.

In reality though rather than assuming they can’t afford it small and growing business should ask instead “Can we afford not to invest in ERP”?
