Every SAP Business One customer faces the same math problem. SAP licenses cost $95–$250 per user per month. The number of people who need data from SAP is almost always 5 to 10 times the number of people who have access.
Shop floor workers pull up production orders on paper. Drivers work from printed shipment lists. Customers call to ask about invoices. AP teams chase approvals over email. These workarounds are not merely inefficient. They are expensive, error-prone, and completely avoidable.
Versago closes the gap between the people who have SAP access and the people who need SAP data. The 2026R1 release makes the platform significantly better at doing exactly this.
Frequently Asked Questions (Quick Answers)
What is Versago?
Versago is a no-code web application platform built specifically for SAP Business One. The platform gives employees, customers, and vendors secure, role-based access to SAP data through a modern web interface. No SAP licenses required. No SAP training required.
How much does Versago cost?
Versago starts at $7,000 per year for 25 users. Compare this to SAP user licenses at $95–$250 per user per month, where the same 25 users would cost $28,500–$75,000 per year. For a manufacturer with 30 shop floor workers who need production data, the savings are immediate and significant.
Who needs Versago?
Any SAP Business One customer with employees, customers, or vendors who need access to SAP data but do not have SAP licenses. Common use cases include shop floor production capture, customer self-service portals, AP invoice approval routing, delivery confirmation, and leadership dashboards.
Does Versago require SAP licenses?
No. Versago users access SAP data through the Versago interface. Your existing SAP power users keep their licenses. Everyone else gets access through Versago without any additional SAP licensing cost.
How does Versago connect to SAP Business One?
Versago connects to SAP Business One through two methods: direct HANA database queries for high-speed data views, and SAP’s OData Service Layer API (new in 2026R1) for business-logic-aware reads and writes. The admin console lets you configure, test, and manage both connection types without code.
What is new in Versago 2026R1?
The headline feature is native SAP OData integration, which means Versago forms and data views now respect SAP’s business logic, survive SAP upgrades cleanly, and align with SAP’s cloud-first strategy. 2026R1 also adds two-factor authentication, BizWeaver API payload mapping, and a range of usability improvements.

What Is Versago?
Versago is a no-code web application platform built specifically for SAP Business One. The platform gives everyone in your business (employees, customers, vendors) secure, role-based access to SAP data through a modern web interface, without SAP licenses or SAP training.
Your power users keep working in SAP. Versago gives everyone else exactly the access they need through a simple browser interface on any device.
The Problem: 10 SAP Users, 100 People Who Need the Data
Most SAP Business One customers have 10–50 SAP users. The number of people who need to see or input SAP data is 5–10 times higher.
Think about a typical manufacturer: 30 production workers who need production orders, a warehouse team needing pick lists, delivery drivers needing shipment info, customers asking about invoices, an AP team routing approvals via email, and sales managers who want dashboards. None of them have SAP access. All of them are working around this limitation every single day.
The usual answer is a different point solution for each gap: a customer portal here, a warehouse app there, an AP workflow tool, a BI dashboard for sales. Each with its own vendor, its own SAP integration, its own maintenance cost, and its own data silo.
Versago replaces all of them. One platform, one SAP connection, one admin console, any device.
What This Looks Like in Practice
1. Production Data Capture
Your production manager should not be the bottleneck because they are the only person with SAP access. With Versago, shop floor workers pull up production orders on tablets, scan components for goods issue, and record completions, posting directly to SAP in real time. No licenses for production staff. No end-of-shift batch updates.
2. AP Invoice Approval Routing
Stop emailing PDFs and chasing approvals. Vendor invoices go into a Versago form, auto-populate from the SAP purchase order, route through multi-level approval workflows, and post to SAP automatically when approved. Approvers work from their phone with no SAP login needed. Cycles drop from days to hours.
3. Customer Self-Service Portal
Your customers log in to a branded portal to view open invoices, order status, payment history, and pay online via credit card or e-check, all pulling live from SAP. Fewer calls, faster payments, zero SAP licenses.
4. Delivery Confirmation
Drivers see shipment lists on their phone, record deliveries, capture electronic signatures, and confirmations post to SAP immediately. Dispatch and customer service get real-time visibility. No paper, no re-entry.
5. Revenue Dashboards for Leadership
Your VP of Sales needs revenue by region, by customer group, by product line, but does not need a $250/month SAP license to look at charts. Versago’s drag-and-drop dashboard builder pulls live from SAP with role-based filters so each manager sees only their territory.
What Makes Versago Different
1. Built for SAP Business One, Not Adapted to the Platform
Generic no-code tools connect to any database, but they do not understand SAP Business One’s data model. Versago’s connection layer, forms, and data views are built around how Business One works: OData API, HANA views, stored procedures, UDTs. Configuration, not code.
2. One Platform Replaces Many
Customer portals, employee self-service, workflow approvals, dashboards, mobile data capture, all configured in the same admin console. One vendor relationship. One SAP connection. One support contract.
3. No-Code Means Your Team Owns the Platform
Point-and-click, drag-and-drop. Your SAP admin builds new data views and forms without developers. When your business changes, your Versago forms change with the same person who owns your SAP configuration.
4. Any Device, No Install
Built on Material UI, Versago runs in any browser. Shop floor tablets, driver phones, customer laptops, same responsive interface on all of them.
Why this matters when you are evaluating portal solutions: A generic no-code tool connected to SAP will take months of integration work to do what Versago does out of the box, and will still not understand SAP’s data model the way a purpose-built platform does.
What’s New in 2026R1
1. SAP OData Integration
This is the most significant architectural enhancement since Versago 3.0.
Previously, Versago connected to SAP via direct SQL or HANA database queries. The approach is fast, but comes with trade-offs. Direct queries bypass SAP’s business logic layer (validations, authorizations, referential integrity), and database structures change across SAP upgrades, occasionally breaking existing queries.
2026R1 adds native SAP Service Layer OData as a first-class data source:
- Data Views run OData queries with parameter support and automatic pagination. On data view import, queries are created automatically.
- Forms use OData as their data source
- File attachments support full CRUD via OData
- Item and employee images render as thumbnails from OData
- OData connections are configurable and testable from the admin screen
Why this matters: OData is SAP’s modern, supported API layer. Versago solutions now respect SAP’s business logic, survive upgrades without breaking, and align with SAP’s cloud-first strategy. For new implementations, OData will be the recommended connection method. Existing direct database connections continue to work.
2. Two-Factor Authentication
Security expectations have changed, especially when external users (customers, vendors) are accessing your data. Versago 2026R1 adds configurable 2FA: enforce for all users or admins only, with immediate or opt-in enforcement via OTP modal. For companies in regulated industries, this is a meaningful compliance improvement.
3. BizWeaver API Payload Mapping
For companies using Third Wave’s BizWeaver integration platform, 2026R1 adds a drag-and-drop interface for mapping form fields directly to BizWeaver API JSON payloads. Forms submit directly to the BizWeaver API with no custom integration code needed. This simplifies complex workflows where form submissions need to trigger downstream automation like inventory adjustments, notifications, or multi-step approval chains.
4. Additional Improvements
- Auto-created SAP UDTs for payment logging, record staging, and OData form data
- OData form field management: add or remove fields without rebuilding forms
- Grid column persistence: sort order and widths saved across sessions
- Type-ahead lookup filtering for faster data entry
- Anonymous public form submissions for feedback, RMA requests, and lead capture
- Quick field search in admin, improved average aggregation, and Crystal Report import fix (500 MB max)

2. New to Versago?
If you are running SAP Business One and have not looked at Versago yet, here is the simplest way to evaluate the product: think about the last time someone in your business needed information from SAP and had to ask someone else to get the data. Multiply this by every person, every department, every day.
There is the gap between what SAP does and what your business needs. Versago closes the gap: no code, no additional SAP licenses, no six-month development project.
