As the end of the year approaches, business leaders find themselves in a reflective mood. December is often a time when businesses assess the past 12 months and start planning for the future.
For organisations where the Christmas period presents a quieter time, it’s a great opportunity to evaluate how the business operates, the strengths and weaknesses of the past year and identify tools that can help achieve business goals in the year ahead.
During this period of reflection, one area worth considering is your financial software. With many businesses pushing for greater efficiency, scalability and operational insights, adopting the right financial tools can be a game-changer.
A leading Sage partner, CPiO offers a suite of Sage solutions that cater to different business needs - Sage 200, Sage Intacct and Sage X3. Let’s take a closer look at each.
Sage 200
The ideal solution for small to medium-sized organisations looking to streamline financial and operational processes, Sage 200 is designed to grow in line with your business. It offers robust financial management tools, advanced stock management and strong business intelligence capabilities. Plus it can be extended to incorporate simple manufacturing processes. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365, making collaboration easy and efficient.
Available on-premise or hosted via the CPiO Cloud, Sage 200 is the ideal upgrade path for companies who have outgrown their basic accounting software, such as Sage 50, and require greater functionality.
Whether you’re expanding into new markets or managing an increasing volume of transactions, Sage 200 offers the flexibility and power to keep you on track.
Sage Intacct
For organisations seeking a cloud-based solution, Sage Intacct delivers. As a modular application, priced per user, per month, it is particularly well suited for growing businesses who can add users and modules as required.
For finance teams that require deep visibility into their financial performance, features such as real-time dashboards, advanced reporting tools and financial automation facilitates data-driven decision making.
The software’s flexibility and scalability make it a favourite across many industries, including healthcare, non-profits, financial services and hospitality.
A best-in-class, true cloud solution, with an intuitive interface and powerful integrations, Sage Intacct is the ultimate tool for modern finance teams.
Sage X3
When it comes to large organisations with complex operations, Sage X3 stands out as a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
Sage X3 offers end-to-end financial, supply chain and operations management capabilities, all from a single platform. So, whether you’re managing multiple entities, navigating global compliance requirements or handling intricate workflows, Sage X3 provides the tools to simplify and centralise processes.
Just like Sage 200, Sage X3 can be deployed on-premise - installed on your own servers, or in the CPiO Cloud.
Real-time insights, comprehensive visibility and adaptability make Sage X3 perfect for industries such as process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing and distribution, where precise control and visibility are essential.
Why Now?
The quiet period (for some) during the Christmas break offers a unique chance to step back and assess your current systems without the daily pressures of business operations. It’s the perfect time to identify inefficiencies, explore new solutions and plan for a new software implementation.
Investing in modern financial software like Sage 200, Sage Intacct or Sage X3 can streamline operations, improve decision-making and position your business for long-term success.
So, as you enjoy the festive season, take some time to consider how the right tools can help you achieve your business goals in the year ahead.
