1flux runs quotations, purchasing, receiving, stock and the books for every company in one AI-native cloud platform that every team opens in the browser.
1flux is an SAP Business One alternative built for B2B trading, distribution and project supply. Quotations, purchase order and goods received note (GRN) flows, country packs and separate books per company come in one cloud platform, and 1flux Accounting covers supplier payments, financial statements, bank reconciliation and VAT returns. AI works on the same records, so Import PO with AI drafts quotations from a customer's PO, and every legal entity sits in one workspace.
One cloud platform built for trading companies, compared with an ERP that SAP partners implement and extend.
| 1flux | SAP Business One | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s built | One cloud platform: CRM, Inventory (with purchasing, receiving and the warehouse) and Accounting on one login and one data model, with shared tasks, calendar and approvals | Financials, sales and service, purchasing, inventory and distribution, production and project modules, implemented through SAP partners1 |
| From PO to paid | One record from the customer’s PO to payment: each document creates the next and posts its own journal through one posting gateway | Sales, purchasing, inventory and financials within one ERP1 |
| Several companies | Every legal entity in one workspace, each with its own currency, registrations, numbering, warehouses and books; a consolidation run combines the group | Each company is a separate database; several branches can share one2 |
| Getting started | The 1flux team switches on the apps you need, country packs seed tax codes and registration fields, and import tools bring in your data, validated before anything is saved | Through SAP partners, on premise or partner-hosted in the cloud, on SAP HANA or Microsoft SQL Server1 |
1flux runs the trading flows in one cloud platform that every team opens in a browser, with each person seeing what their job needs.
1flux ships the purchasing vocabulary of B2B trade: a quick local purchase request (LPR), a purchase order that prints as a local purchase order (LPO), a GRN check-in by stores and a goods receipt report that posts stock.
Requisitions carry a purpose, supplier quotes are compared side by side with a "Best" badge, and every line is awarded with a reason before draft purchase orders are created, one per supplier.
1flux's AI works on the same structured, connected and permissioned records as your team. Import PO with AI drafts the lines from a customer's PO or RFQ, and the quotation builder handles up to 500 lines with a formal cover letter and 3 signatories.
Every legal entity sits in one workspace, with its own currency, registrations, warehouses and books. A consolidation run combines the group into one currency, with a visible translation difference.
Multi-entity in 1fluxSeven overview pages open on a "Needs action" list. Each row shows only to people who can act on it and links to the exact records.
Every receipt, delivery, invoice and payment posts its own journal. 1flux Accounting adds supplier payments, a profit and loss and balance sheet for each legal entity, bank reconciliation and VAT returns prepared from posted VAT.
Each 1flux cell describes what 1flux does as standard, in one cloud platform.

Yes. 1flux covers CRM, quotations, sales orders, purchasing, receiving, inventory and accounting for trading companies, including supplier payments, a profit and loss and balance sheet for each legal entity, bank reconciliation and VAT returns. Every document posts its own journal, so operations and the books run in one cloud system that every team opens in the browser.
Yes. 1flux issues ZATCA-compliant e-invoices for Saudi Arabia, covering Phase 1 (generation) and Phase 2 (integration with ZATCA's Fatoora platform). It also supports UAE e-invoicing under the Federal Tax Authority's programme, ready for the 2027 go-live dates. E-invoicing runs on the same sales invoices that post to the ledger. See e-invoicing in 1flux.
Yes. One 1flux workspace holds several legal entities, each with its own base currency, tax registration, letterhead, warehouses and books, and its own sequence for orders, invoices and journals. People can be limited to specific entities when you invite them, and a consolidation run combines the group into one currency. Legal entities can be registered in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and India.
Yes. 1flux is a cloud web application that works in desktop and mobile browsers, with a responsive layout on phones and nothing to install. Each customer's data is isolated inside the database with PostgreSQL row-level security. Downloads use signed links that expire after 5 minutes, and every deployment takes a verified database backup first.
Yes. Admins configure workflow stages, approvals, required fields and service levels under Settings, without code. They also add custom fields, set numbering formats and build custom roles from more than 100 permissions, so access follows your org chart. Quotation approvals can target amount bands, and sending is blocked until a quotation is approved.
1flux moves you on a clean cutover date. Prepare customers, items, stock on hand and a trial balance per company, then bring them in with the import workbench: companies and contacts up to 5,000 rows per file, items up to 10,000 rows. Every file is validated before anything is saved, and opening stock and each entity's opening trial balance post on the cutover date.
