Sage ERP & Sage CRM Integrated Solutions: The Complete Picture

A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution helps establish a positive, consistent experience when customers interact with your company. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system helps you manage the financial and operational aspects of your business. Linking these systems together can create new ways to increase customer satisfaction, improve cash flow, save time, and earn a better return on your investments in sales, marketing and customer service activities. With Sage CRM and Sage ERP integration right out of the box, companies can quickly and easily create seamless workflows between the front and back office.

When these two powerful solutions are combined, your employees company-wide have access to all the information they need in order to provide customers with exceptional service, without delays.  In sales, your staff can easily check the availability of stock across different locations and check the real-time status of orders without having to log on to different systems or call someone in another department.  Your sales team also benefits from instant access to comprehensive customer information, easily retrieving real-time status on orders, availability of stock, invoices, customer payment history and more.  The integration also allows your marketing team a greater insight into the customer base.  Better promotional campaigns and offers can be designed with the information they can retrieve about buying trends, suitable target markets and other customer purchasing behavior.  Finely tuned marketing programs can lead to higher response rates and new leads.

Sage Changes Branding - What This Means To Your Business

Throughout Sage’s history, their commitment to customers has been at the center of everything they do.   As a Sage Authorized reseller, CPA Technology’s objective is to reflect their commitment onto our customers in order to help them reach their business goals.

Sage will be extending that commitment further in the upcoming new year with enhanced products, new services, and productivity-enhancing features.  One of the most visible elements affecting our customers will be the introduction of new names for Sage products that will make clear which products are most appropriate to complement the Sage solutions you are using today, and which may be available to support your business as it grows.

As part of Sage’s brand strategy, a new product numbering system will be put into place (think of some of the luxury car brands).  If you see any of these names floating around, you will know which they apply to:

Sage Timberline Office is becoming Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate
Sage Master Builder is becoming Sage 100 Contractor.
Sage Timberline Enterprise is becoming Sage 300 Trade Specialty.
Sage MAS 90 is becoming Sage 100 Standard ERP.
Sage MAS 200 is becoming Sage 100 Advanced ERP.

Please be assured that during this transition, there will be no interruption to your current services or subscriptions and your present applications will continue to work as they have been.
