When Sage talks to its manufacturing customers, visibility comes up as a major problem. In order to scale, business owners need to hire more people, establish more specialized organizational structures, and invest in more technologies. All of these things are important to scale, but they come at a cost: visibility into the entire business. Just as investments in people, processes, and technology are essential for growth, the complexity they introduce can paradoxically create barriers that can hinder it.
If you’re like today’s average office worker, you probably deal with a great deal of paper – coming in, going out, passing through your organization – every day. Effectively tracking those various documents is both costly and hard to do. What happens when the invoice you leave on a coworker’s desk gets buried under other files? Even when documents are scanned to a file share, data is difficult to find: perhaps a coworker hasn’t followed proper naming conventions or saved in the correct folder, leaving you at a disadvantage when a customer calls asking for previous order information.
What’s New in the Latest Version

In Sage 100, you can use General Ledger segments to slice and dice your data for financial reporting. Here’s how you use Sage 100 to automatically post data into these segments. You can post by warehouse, Customer or Product Line (but you can’t substitute all three at the same time). Sage 100cloud Manufacturing provides more sophisticated segment substitution, but we’re not going to cover manufacturing here. Let’s go through the Sage 100 setup screens and run through an example.
In addition to a refresh of the user interface, Sage Fixed Assets 2019.1 includes new features that make it easier for you to take advantage of rules passed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Here’s a closer look.
A number of new cloud-based ERP solutions have been introduced to the market in recent years. These products clearly offer benefits to organizations who don’t want the headaches associated with managing their own local or “on premises” servers.
