Moving from SAP Business ByDesign to SAP Cloud ERP: what the move actually involves
Blog
Beyond technology. Confidence at every stage of change.
Codestone gives clients the confidence to invest in technology that moves their business forward. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped organisations navigate change, combining the right platforms, services and AI expertise, to turn technology investment into lasting business performance.
Choose your solution
Enterprise Resource Planning
Run finance, operations and supply chain on one system, so nobody has to re-key data and every team sees the same figures. Codestone implements SAP and Microsoft ERP and stays with you as your business grows.
Enterprise Performance Management
Bring planning, budgeting, forecasting and consolidation into one place, so your finance team spends less time building the numbers and more time explaining them to the board.
Managed IT support, around the clock
Hand your day-to-day IT to a service desk that is there around the clock, every day of the year. Your people get help when they need it, and your own IT team can focus on the projects that move your business on.
Why choose Codestone?
Technology should improve how your business performs
All too often, businesses find themselves working around their technology; manual processes multiply, data becomes harder to trust and systems get more complex. These issues cause mounting costs, either through lack of productivity or short-term development fixes. Every new priority, from opening a new site to putting AI to work, becomes harder to deliver.
The problems facing your business rarely sit neatly inside one technology. Improving finance might need better ERP, cleaner data and some automation. Scaling into a new country can expose gaps in your infrastructure, your security and your reporting at the same time. Making real use of AI usually means fixing the foundations underneath it first.
That is what Codestone does. Our specialists understand how your business runs, they know the technology it depends on and they stay alongside you as things change.

Success rooted in expertise
Our customers’ success says more than we ever could. iiPay (which runs payroll for businesses operating across borders) needed a finance platform that could carry growth through each new expansion. By the end of the project we had taken four days out of their month end close, brought revenue reporting forward by two working days and removed recurring invoicing from the finance team job list altogether.
We had similar success with Jardox, a Kent-based food producer, who had reached the point where staff were keeping paper records because the systems were down too often, and the arrangement with their previous IT provider had run its course. Codestone rebuilt the infrastructure across both their sites and took on support for the 150 or so staff who had been living with it.
Elsewhere the work looks different again, but the value Codestone adds remains a constant. Mundipharma and Millbrook Healthcare use CCH Tagetik for planning and consolidation, EBB Group and Graff Diamonds report through Power BI, and Consilient Health, Totally Wicked and The CFO Centre run day-to-day on SAP Business One.

How we work with you.
Four things you can count on with Codestone
We have seen what makes business change succeed, where programmes get stuck and where the next opportunity usually sits. We bring that to every decision we make with you.
We're business first
Codestone starts with how your finance, operations and technology actually work today, mapping the processes, finding the dependencies and working out where change creates the most value. So technology decisions start with the problem you need to solve, and the product follows from there.
We're here to accelerate you
Technology only matters if it helps your business achieve more. Codestone doesn’t measure success by getting a system live. We help your people adopt it, get more out of it and use it to improve the way the business runs.
We make change manageable
Through 30 years of implementation, Codestone has learned what makes programmes work and what sinks them. From discovery and planning through to governance, delivery and adoption, we bring proven methods, disciplined delivery and honest advice that takes uncertainty out of each step.
We're one step ahead
Your business won’t stand still and neither will technology. Go-live isn’t the finish line. At Codestone, we stay close as your priorities change, helping you get more from what you already have and spotting opportunities before you have to ask. Increasingly, that means showing you where AI can take routine work off your people, and where it isn’t worth the investment yet.
In a nutshell, Codestone will help you reach your full digital potential.
Expertise that fits your world
What you need from technology is shaped by your size, your sector, the way you operate and where you want to get to. Codestone combines specialist technology expertise with real experience in your industry and the way your business works, and we know where that makes the biggest difference.

Utmost Wealth Management Set for Growth
Make the step from a basic financial accounting package to Enterprise Resource Planning
We know there are two things that cause an organisation to change its financial software – growth in turnover, transactions and people means that you can no longer operate finance as a silo; it needs to be integrated into the end-to-end operation. The second driver is usually complexity; multiple business units, operating countries, currencies and tax requirements have taken you beyond the capabilities of your existing solution – and that’s where we can help you to implement a new SAP Business One Accounting system.
