10 Reasons to upgrade to Sage 200
1 - Business growth Many companies software is being placed
under strain from expansion and business growth. Sage 200 allows
greater effectiveness by interconnecting data across departments
such as the fusion of accounts and Sage CRM data. Furthermore, with
a capacity for up to 50 users Sage 200 allows data and similar user
activity to be greatly enhanced, further improving efficiency.
2 - The increased need for individual system customisation The
increased ability of Sage 200 to customise systems recognises that
every individual business needs are different; as your business
needs change so can your individual Sage 200 customisation.
Financial and commercials forms have in depth customisation options
which allow default field values, field level security and
individual user permissions among many more options are available
to the Sage 200 user.
3 - Enhanced currency functionality Sage 200 allows for far more
functionality and handling of foreign currency compared to previous
versions. For example the ability to specify exchange rate for
given date ranges allowing customers the option to pay in more than
one currency, negating the need for separate bank accounts.
4 - Enhanced efficiency and convenience of sales order
processing Sage 200 delivers total control for the sales order
process with margin and discount analysis and processing of foreign
currency being just two of many key benefits. With the Sage 200
purchase order processing module repeat order processing is greatly
more efficient with just a few keystrokes needed for re ordering
via the rapid entry mode along with the ability to drill down on
sales orders to view linked purchase orders.
5 - Greater control over accounting periods Accounts can be
opened, closed and re-opened with Sage 200 allowing up to 20
definable periods previously unavailable with Sage 50 which
featured 12 set opening periods. Greater accuracy with reporting
and enhanced flexibility is just two noteworthy benefits.
6 - Enhanced stock control Sage 200 provides users with greatly
advanced stock control; businesses with more than one location can
operate independently with regards to sales, stock taking,
replenishment and reporting. The ability to record batches by
serial number or allocation will improve efficiency and stock
traceability as does the ability to assign "sell by" and "use by"
dates for perishable and traceable items.
7 - The ability to easily manage prices and discounts across
your consumer base Your price bands may vary according to target
markets, standard price bands or discounts. Sage 200 can support
these types, allowing easy management of your customer base through
a price matrix within the Sage 200 Commercials module.
8 - Enhanced performance through unlimited transaction numbers
Opposed to archiving data and causing the system to potentially
lose performance Sage 200 has an unlimited number of transactions
that can be held which enables potentially key report data to be
saved as well as greatly improved performance.
9 - Sage 200 bill of materials module The Sage 200 bill of
materials module allows a business with engineering or assembly
operations to control virtually all aspects from the initial quote
and discussion to the final invoice. Key advantages of this module
include precise costing, easy management of multiple bills of
materials and flexible build options through the ability to produce
picking lists for items separately or at the time of
allocation.
10 - Deeper and more flexible reporting of business performance
and trend analysisThe business intelligence module from Sage 200
offers more in depth and flexible analysis of business intelligence
and market trends giving management the competitive edge, allowing
for faster more informed and confident business decisions with
analytics and reporting from Microsoft® Excel.
