Stefan Bekemeier, ConsultantTo broaden the horizon, SACO decided to use its decade-long knowledge to create another industry-neutral ERP system. Since this iteration of the software was based on open source architectures, it was named openAPPone. This user-friendly platform allows businesses across various sectors to leverage its capabilities without the hassle of installation, aligning perfectly with the ongoing trend of digitization.
SACO’s success is rooted in its innovative products and a consulting-first approach. From the initial inquiry, clients benefit from the expertise of a dedicated team of technical specialists and industry professionals, ensuring they receive tailored solutions. This personalized guidance is backed by over 30 years of combined experience in the fashion and ERP domains, creating a rich blend of technical and commercial knowledge.
Flexible and Scalable ERP Solutions
The openAPPone system stands out for its flexibility and scalability. Designed to run smoothly on nearly all internet browser systems, it features an intuitive interface with a mouse-over function for quick reference. Additionally, an integrated online wiki provides users immediate access to detailed information and guidance, further enhancing the user experience. With over 17,000 available add-ons, SACO customizes its ERP solutions to meet the specific demands of any industry, ensuring that each client receives a tailored product.
SACO eliminates the costly IT infrastructure typically associated with ERP implementation by offering a cloud-based solution that clients can access with just a browser and an internet connection. Its systems are hosted on German servers, complying with strict data privacy laws that ensure client information is secure. Each customer is provided with a dedicated server, ensuring no third-party access—only SACO retains control. To further safeguard data, an internal manager certified in CISA, CRISC and CDPSE oversees data protection and risk management, providing clients with the highest level of security and compliance.
Rather than relying solely on ticketing systems, SACO provides personal trainers and coaches for each client. This hands-on approach allows them to strengthen customer relationships and address client needs with care, fostering long-term partnerships that promote process optimization over time.

This flexibility in pricing and support fosters long-term relationships and allows SACO to adapt its systems to meet the evolving demands of each client.
