For years, various versions of Sage 100 have helped small and medium-sized businesses effectively manage accounting, distribution, manufacturing, and the like.

At Sage Summit 2015, Sage announced their continued efforts to move to a subscription business model and subsequently released Sage 100cloud (Sage 100c) in 2016.

What is Sage 100cloud?

Sage 100cloud is for businesses that need built-in flexibility for production processing, job and materials tracking, and custom product estimates. By integrating job management tools with financials, Sage 100cloud manages discrete manufacturing by making it easier to estimate costs, buy materials, track labor, manage scheduling, and support frontline staff.

Sage 100cloud can reside on-premise, or, becoming increasingly popular, at a private hosting facility. This allows for full control of its deployment and the flexibility of installing/migrating to the new version at your own pace and convenience.

In addition, Sage 100cloud comes with:

• Bundled modules, without the need to purchase separately
• All the latest 2016 enhancements plus a modernized user interface, making navigation easier and task execution more efficient 
• Improved application scaling
• Increased personalization and security, allowing users the flexibility of changing font size, colors, and themes on each window while only seeing the information they are authorized to see

Take Control with Sage 100cloud

Sage 100cloud gives you control of the entire manufacturing process for both make-to-stock and build-to-order jobs:

• Estimating
• Quoting
• Sales orders and production
• Job planning
• Purchasing
• Scheduling
• Costing and tracking
• Data collection

Adapt with Sage 100cloud

Manufacturing is faced with a wide array of obstacles – material availability, shipment delays, labor setbacks, mechanical downtime, and others – but Sage 100cloud’s real-time window into the production cycle improves your ability to make adjustments and communicate the status of orders to customers.

Integrate with Sage 100cloud

Sage 100cloud also accesses real-time material, inventory, and cost data to create accurate quotes that reflect real costs, material availability, and production schedules. This prevents mistakes and missed deadlines as well as streamlining workflows and the quote-to-production process.

Unfortunately, no job lifecycle is complete without fluctuating costs that risk profits. Luckily, Sage 100cloud offers insight into time, labor, materials, and equipment costs, so when prices and options change as a job progresses, you have the information you need to take informed, decisive action.
