Knowing when to upgrade your current software to Sage 200

Switching to Sage 200 has never been easier

If your company has undergone rapid growth, you’re likely using separate solutions to manage your supply chain, business intelligence, accounting processes, and more. You may be using Sage 50 and wondering what the benefits will be moving to a system that can manage more flexible or complex business processes and functionality. 

Sage 200 brings all your processes together within a single solution. Perfect for businesses looking to expand, Sage 200 can provide support with more clarity on numbers, automate low-value tasks, and eliminate errors by running workflows into one system. 

Now might be the ideal time for you to upgrade your financial software to Sage 200. With a powerful solution like Sage 200, you can manage your supply chain, business intelligence, accounting processes, and more from one single platform which will help you consolidate systems to run a smarter, faster, more connected business. 

So what are the differences between Sage 50 and Sage 200? You can visit our blog here to find out and read on to see if you are ready to upgrade. 

Three key ways to identify if you have outgrown your current finance software

1. You are struggling to find specific data within your systems

Due to the rapid increase in orders or product lines, the need for reporting and invoicing has grown. However, you are now finding it difficult to track individual products or parts making it hard to trace products and customers or even recall products when necessary.

2. You're using multiple tools which is slowing down your decision-making process

Outdated and clunky software systems are slowing down your business. Operational processes are making it increasingly difficult to meet customers' everchanging expectations, adhere to current and new legislations, and maintain a competitive advantage.

3. Everyday tasks are taking up extra resources

If usual finance tasks are taking much longer than they should, often needing additional technical expertise to be drafted in to help, then maybe you have outgrown your current software and need to consider a change.

Why Sage 200?

Sage 200 is designed to standardise and connect all elements of your business, conjoining your accounting software with your suppliers, inventory, and distribution management so you can access all of your data from different sources. Remember you can look into two offerings with this software, Sage 200 Standard and Sage 200 Professional. The main difference is that Sage 200 Standard is a fully cloud-based product, with no on-premise option and provides a limited functionality set. Sage 200 Professional is available as cloud or on-premise and has more extensive capability.

Either option of Sage 200 will provide a powerful financial solution, allowing you to streamline your business processes so they work effectively and efficiently at scale. If you are looking to improve your financial capabilities with the ability to span multiple locations and regions, look no further. Compare the modules that you would need for your business here.
