4 Tips for a New Sage ERP Project

Small and midsized businesses in manufacturing, packaging, distribution and other industries have counted on Sage ERP systems for many years. Software like Sage 300 has enabled businesses to grow and thrive through improved productivity and lower costs.

In an increasingly interconnected world, where the supply chain stretches around the globe, the packaging industry is feeling the pressure. Goods must now be packaged for shipment to destinations 50 miles away—or 5,000 miles away. Add to that the need for specific packaging to keep foods warm or cold, tamper-proof packaging, plus many more examples and you have a complex, dynamic, and ever-changing industry.

How do you manage a supply chain stretching around the world? How do you keep track of packaging regulations for multiple industries, countries, and clients? SYSPRO ERP can help. With the right business software by your side, you can manage complex scenarios with ease.

Sage 300 is business software that can help you with one goal that can be hard to quantify and accomplish: improving workplace productivity. Improving productivity is so much more than working faster; it’s about working smarter and better. Here’s how Sage 300 can help.

Many companies view their CRM software as a glorified marketing tool. As small business software goes, however, CRM software is a valuable addition to your customer communications toolbox. Not only can you use it to communicate with customers, it can also be a vital part of your retention strategy.

Sage ERP is one of the leading enterprise resource planning software systems for a good reason. Sage takes emerging trends very seriously and uses trends in conjunction with customer feedback to build better, faster, and more efficient products. Sound familiar? That’s probably how your company works, too.

Trends can emerge from any industry. Trends from the world of finance such as blockchain, for example, are now making their way into other industries where secure transactions are essential. Someday you may purchase your home over the internet thanks to blockchain technology. It’s just one example of how emerging trends from one industry are shaping what’s happening in other industries.

SYSPRO ERP offers manufacturing, distribution, and other types of businesses excellent business management support and flexibility. It’s an important software used by many leading businesses to manage their finances, accounting, sales, distribution, and supply chain. Using such software can help your business flourish and remain competitive.

As your business grows, however, it may be open to problems. Such problems include fraud. Fraud can happen internally, such as with employee theft. It can also happen from an external source. Technology is one area where companies are often open to fraud or problems from the outside.
