Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the next big thing for companies looking to integrate and streamline their business processes, and products by The Sage Group are the way to go for small to mid-sized businesses.
One of The Sage Group’s products is Sage 100 ERP. Formerly known as Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200, Sage 100 ERP has been updated to offer a broader range of modules to fulfill any company’s needs.
The software can manage:
Accounting and Finance- Business Intelligence and Reporting
- Purchasing
- Sales
- Inventory and Warehouse
- Manufacturing
- Customer Relationship
- Human Resources and Payroll
- Inventory Warehouse
- Manufacturing
- Purchasing
- Sales
- Time
The best fit for the Sage 100 ERP software is a small to medium-sized business with anywhere from 1 to 50 users. For price consideration, The Sage Group offers several variations:
- Sage 100 ERP Online
- Sage 100 Fund Accounting
- Sage 100 Contractor
- Sage 100 Premium ERP
- Sage 100 Advanced ERP
- Sage 100 Standard ERP
The company using the software gains flexible, industry-specific customizations, end-to-end visibility, and ease of use. Another important factor to note is that each feature can be deployed as part of the initial implementation or can be rolled out individually as needed.
Each module comes with standard forms and pre-defined templates – for financial statements or purchasing orders, for example – but also allows for user-defined forms to be created and saved. Custom Office allows fields to be added and automated tasks set up. In addition, each user will be able to personalize screens according to specific workflows and personal choices. A company can make their changes without worrying about losing all their hard work in an upgrade; the changes are carried over into each subsequent incarnation of Sage 100 ERP.
Sage 100 ERP is most often implemented in the Microsoft Windows environment. It is supported by Windows Vista and later Windows versions. It can be implemented online or as client/server on-premise software. The Sage 100 ERP also uses the industry standard Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
Sage 100 ERP is considered one of the easiest enterprise resource planning systems to use. Its integration between modules is seamless. It is powerful and flexible and easy to implement. If you are a small or medium-sized business, Sage 100 ERP should be a serious consideration.
