Portals and integration solutions are licensed per SAP license server. This provides access to one company (SAP Business One database), including the add-on module Order Pad.

• Employee Portal is a named user license
• Additional company licenses are available for all products
• Perpetual licensing and SaaS-based pricing are also available

The applications are installed on our shared hosting server and include a shared certificate and base domain name. The base domain name is included in the URL (e.g., https://b1portal.com/YourName). Dedicated hosting is available upon request.

We must implement the software (i.e., install it in your environment and blueprint/configure it) before you can use it. We generally start implementation within a week of purchase, but we require the SAP Business One database to be configured and ready for go-live. (You'll work with our staff to ensure optimal time for installation).

No syncing is required. You can write SAP Business One queries you can publish to the Portal—it’s all sitting directly on the SAP Business One database.

Data are stored in SAP Business One. Vision33 Portals access SAP Business One in real-time to access the necessary data.

Users are managed within the administration add-on, customers are managed on the business partner master record, and employees are managed on the employee master record.

No. We leverage the standard user queries feature of SAP Business One, executing reports in real-time in your Portals.

Vision33 Portals require one indirect instance license for the Portal to connect to SAP Business One. Portal users are then assigned to business partner record contacts or employee records.

Integration Platform as a Service is a cloud-based technology that enables your business systems to communicate. It is an alternative to point-to-point tools which are inflexible and hard to manage as your technology stack evolves. 

Saltbox is a cloud-native, low-code integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution that empowers small and midsized companies to integrate disconnected business systems like ERP, CRM, and eCommerce.

By eliminating data silos and automating manual processes, Saltbox unlocks new levels of operational efficiency and cost savings.

iPaaS centralizes all integration efforts into a single, easy to use platform. Point-to-point integration tools, on the other hand, create a fixed integration between two applications so as your organization and tech stack mature, your integration landscape becomes complex and hard to manage. IPaaS provides a flexible plug and play approach so that your technology and business application strategy can evolve with your business needs. 

Any company, regardless of industry, whose technology and application stack is evolving and wants to move data between systems is a great candidate for iPaaS. 

The Saltbox Platform helps companies scale business operations and reduce complexity by automating manual processes and synchronizing data across their technology and business application stack. This streamlines operations, saving valuable time and money. 

Saltbox securely integrates with everything from modern SaaS applications to legacy and proprietary solutions. Some of our most common integrations are with Shopify, SAP Business One, Sage Intacct and 300, Shipstation, Magento, Salesforce, SPS Commerce, Amazon, eBay and more. 

Saltbox provides an extremely secure integration environment as data only passes through the integration without being stored by Saltbox. Additionally, full transaction logging and error tracking ensures complete visibility of the history of transactions.
