ENTERPRISE ALTERNATIVE PROFILE

C36Space vs SAP B1

SAP is the global standard for massive enterprises. But is SAP Business One the right choice for a growing Indian SME, or is C36Space a more agile, affordable option?

The Challenge

The consultant lock-in

SAP implementations cost upward of ₹3,00,000 in implementation consultant fees, and require 6 to 12 months rollout times.

Modifying basic fields or GST report layouts requires booking consultant hourly retainers.

SAP B1 Overhead
  • Implementation phases exceeding 6 months
  • Expensive proprietary licensing fees
  • Dependency on custom ABAP developers
The Pivot

Go live in under 14 days

C36Space strips away complex enterprise middleware. We deploy standard cloud-native database packages preloaded with Indian compliance modules, cutting setup timelines by 90%.
