Do you run your business on the go? Is your house the only office you have? Do you take your product out to where your customers are, instead of making them coming to you? Do you travel to conventions and demonstrations?

If you do, we know you face the same problem that many mobile businesses face: taking payments other than cash when you’re out in the field.

A couple of decades ago, only being able to accept cash payments when on the go wasn’t an issue because a lot more people carried cash around, or, knowing that’s what businesses expected as payment, would be prepared to offer. Times have changed, however. With the ubiquity of the internet, credit cards have become the predominant form of payment for almost everything, as the convenience spread from the internet to everything else; other forms of payment, like PayPal, are also popular – and also use credit cards. Therefore, to stay competitive you must be able to offer a multitude of ways for your customers to pay for your goods and services.

Sage 100 ERP offers easy mobile options, like catalogs, quotes, invoices, and payments on the go.

While expanded payment options are what usually get mobile businesses interested in Sage 100 ERP mobile tools, it’s the extensive suite of tools is that convinces them to buy.

Sage 100 ERP mobile options offers you the ability to send professional, customized quotes and invoices to your customers from wherever you are. You can send an invoice for graphic design services to a client in Kansas while sitting in a coffee shop in Minnesota without breaking a sweat.
