Ochiba implement SAP's 30,000th SAP Business One customer

As the 30,000^th customer running SAP Business One, Jaguar Landrover Brazil is one of many growing organizations around the world that relies on the application to manage changing business needs. Specifically, JLR Brazil faces complex government regulations, taxation and inventory control on the cars shipped to the subsidiary from its United Kingdom headquarters. The subsidiary consistently sells all its cars and has experienced unprecedented growth in the past two years while only increasing staff by 20 percent.

"SAP Business One scaled to meet our increasing business demands and helped us to closely manage our growing inventory," said Luis Moreno, chief financial officer, Jaguar Land Rover Brazil. "The software gives us exactly what we need - a stable foundation for growth, now and in the years to come."

With assistance from SAP gold partner Ochiba Business Solutions and SAP-certified channel partner RAMO, JLR Brazil implemented SAP Business One in January 2010. It also implemented a custom add-on for intercompany integration from Mastersaf, a Brazil-based company that develops fiscal and accounting software. The add-on addresses the specific tax and regulatory challenges of doing business in Brazil. With the help of SAP Business One, JLR Brazil is now able to complete closing processes only seven days after the end of the month and fulfill all of its tax and accounting obligations in a timely manner.
