For almost thirty years, Sage has been a leader in enterprise resource planning (ERP) system sales. Sage’s ERP systems offer solutions for a variety of businesses – including yours.

Sage's enterprise resource planning systems have amazing resources, including a single database, real-time updating, and reporting and alert features.

A Single Database

A single database means that all of your information is in the same place and universally accessible. It also means that you won't need separate software programs for payroll, accounting, job costing, inventory control, and other business processes. This, in turn, leads to less time spent training your employees. How? Because you won't have to train the accounting department on accounting software and the human resources department on the payroll software, etc.

Real-time Data Updating

Real-time data updates mean that data changes show up in the system as soon as you make them, leading to more accurate information that is transparent across all departments. With more accurate information, you can make smarter, more informed, and timelier business decisions.

ERP systems also offer a less time-consuming means of gathering data for audits as well – in addition to having current data available in real-time, data from previous years is stored in the system and is easily accessible.

Reporting & Alert Features

Another advantage of ERP systems is their extensive reporting features. While out-of-the-box Sage software comes with standardized forms, there are also fully customizable templates available. By combining the reporting features with the user-friendly dashboards, you can easily have your data compiled any way you choose.

The alerts feature allows you to choose to receive certain information at a certain time – an email when an inventory order drops, a daily email about inventory levels, etc.
