Sage 100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Sage 100 is a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution that offers integrated tools for financial management, payroll and time tracking, insights and reporting, distribution and manufacturing, and managing your supply chain.

Sage 100 was formerly known as Sage 100c or Sage 100cloud. However, it was still installed locally and not truly cloud-hosted. Today, all versions are simply called Sage 100, with optional hosting via Sage Partner Cloud (SPC).

Sage Partner Cloud is a hosting program that allows Sage 100 to be deployed in the cloud via platforms like Microsoft Azure, AWS or Sage-accredited providers. Using Sage Partner Cloud, organizations get a licensing model for Sage 100 that is subscription-based, providing you with automatic updates, scalability, predictable costs and reduced IT burden.  

Unlike platforms such as QuickBooks, Sage 100 offers comprehensive accounting and inventory management capabilities, advanced customization through Crystal Reports and a range of industry-specific modules.

In the real estate & construction industry, Sage 100 is ideal for general contractors, specialty contractors, homebuilders and project managers and estimators.

It is also frequently used in the manufacturing industry, especially for inventory valuation and multi-location tracking, forecasting and cost reduction, real-time production cost tracking and supplier and purchase order management.

In the consumer goods industry, it helps retailers and distributors with point-of-sale integration, inventory and supplier management and order processing and fulfillment. In the not-for-profit space, it enables budgeting and grant tracking, fund accounting, compliance and reporting and donor management. In the technology industry, it helps tech firms with subscription billing, revenue recognition and project-based accounting. 

Sage 100 is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses that need more than basic accounting software. If your business is growing with multiple departments or operational needs, it’s likely that you are outgrowing your existing ERP system. Here are some signs that Sage 100 might be right for your business:

  • You are spending too much time on manual data entry or spreadsheets
  • You need real-time visibility into financials, inventory or customer data
  • Your current systems lack scalability and automation

Our professionals can help you decide whether Sage 100 is the right fit for your business.

It features a modernized interface with customizable dashboards and screen layouts. Users also benefit from intuitive navigation, streamlined workflows and minimal training requirements.
