PART C.One
PART C.One is a vertical industry solution from PART, a long-standing German SAP partner, built as an extension on SAP Business One. The product targets DACH Mid-Market process manufacturers — the broad mid-market segment of German-speaking SMBs — in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food. By riding on SAP Business One, customers get the SAP architectural foundation (HANA reporting, app platform, established data models) plus PART's industry-specific extensions for recipe management, batch and serial-number traceability, and quality-management workflows that match the regulatory and operational reality of process production.
Industry functions
C.One adds substantial industry-specific functional blocks on top of SAP Business One. The recipe management module handles complex recipes with quantities, tolerances, substitution rules and yield management. Comprehensive batch and serial-number management ensures that every produced unit can be traced back to its raw materials and forward to the end customer — mandatory in regulated food, pharma and cosmetics production. Quality management covers inspection plans, sampling, certificate-of-analysis generation and deviation handling. Production planning is recipe-aware rather than discrete-BOM-aware, which is what distinguishes process manufacturing from machinery and assembly.
Target audience
C.One targets mid-market process manufacturers in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food. These verticals share complex recipes, strict regulatory requirements, batch-and-serial traceability obligations and tight quality-control workflows. Sweet-spot company size is approximately 50 to 500 employees with multiple production lines. Smaller process manufacturers can sometimes get by with a generic ERP plus spreadsheets; above 500 employees customers typically migrate to SAP S/4HANA with deeper process-industry extensions.
SAP architecture and deployment
Because C.One sits on SAP Business One, customers benefit from the full SAP architecture including HANA-based reporting, the SAP app platform and established data models. Deployment runs on two main paths: classical on-premise installation on customer infrastructure, or cloud-hosted on SAP-partner data centres. The Business One platform is well-established in DACH Mid-Market: licensing is per named user with standard SAP maintenance, and the SAP partner ecosystem provides consulting and operational depth that smaller proprietary platforms cannot match.
DACH localisation and DATEV
SAP Business One's German localisation is mature. DATEV integration — DATEV is the cooperative of German tax advisors whose data format is the SME finance-exchange standard — is supported through standard exporters and partner add-ons, so the customer's external accountant can continue working in DATEV. GoBD compliance — the German principles for proper digital bookkeeping — is covered through Business One's audit-trail and archiving features. ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing are supported in line with the phased German B2B e-invoicing mandate. For multinational process-industry groups, Business One's multi-currency and multi-language support carries the load.
Pricing and selection
C.One pricing combines SAP Business One licences (per named user) with the C.One industry extensions, plus annual maintenance contracts and hosting packages if cloud-operated. PART operates with a deep consulting bench experienced in process-industry implementations — the consulting depth in chemicals, pharma and food is one of the meaningful selection signals. Competitors at this segment include other SAP Business One process-industry add-ons, oxaion, abas ERP with process extensions, and at the smaller end specialist vertical ERPs. The strongest selection signal is a process manufacturer who values the SAP platform's ecosystem alongside genuine industry depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is C.One a separate product from SAP Business One?
C.One is an industry-specific extension on top of SAP Business One rather than a separate product. Customers license both: the Business One platform and the C.One industry add-on. The combination delivers SAP's architectural foundation plus PART's process-industry depth.
Which industries fit C.One?
Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food — the classical process-manufacturing verticals where recipes, batch traceability, quality management and regulatory compliance dominate the operational model. Discrete manufacturers (machinery, electronics) are better served by other Business One verticals.
Does C.One support batch traceability?
Yes, comprehensively. Every produced unit can be traced back to its raw materials and forward to the end customer through the batch and serial-number management module. This is mandatory for regulated production in food, pharma and cosmetics.
Can C.One run in the cloud?
Yes. Cloud-hosted deployments on SAP-partner data centres are available alongside the classical on-premise option. Cloud is increasingly the default choice for new mid-market Business One deployments.
