BROOKFIELD, WI – As manufacturers and distributors look for ways to do more with leaner teams, many are finding the answer in the software they already own. That was the focus of VBCC Connect 2026, the annual user conference hosted by Vrakas/Blum Computer Consulting, LLC (VBCC) on October 21. The full-day virtual event drew more than 50 Sage 100 users from 32 companies nationwide.
Rather than focusing on new systems, VBCC consultants spent the day showing attendees how to unlock greater value from features already built into Sage 100. Attendees submitted questions in advance, which VBCC consultants answered in a live Q&A session.
“VBCC Connect is a great reflection of what our team does best: bringing expertise, practical ideas, and a genuine understanding of our clients’ businesses together in one place,” said Kelly Bergmann, Practice Operations Manager. “I’m extremely proud of our team and equally thankful to our clients for the trust they continue to place in us year after year.”
Session highlights included:
- Inventory Requirements Planning and Production Management for manufacturers balancing demand forecasting with shop floor visibility
- Sage Operations Management techniques for job-based manufacturers
- Paperless office workflows that cut manual filing and data entry
- Sage Intelligence reporting to turn Sage 100 data into combined information
- Sage 100 Payroll simplification and everyday time-saving shortcuts
For 20 years, VBCC has brought Sage 100 users together to share practical ideas, explore technology, and find better ways to support their businesses. Sage 100 users who missed this year’s event can view session recordings and other conference sessions on the VBCC YouTube channel.
