Sage Line 50 Solutions
Sage Line 50 is an office-based accounting solution. However in many cases, people outside the office environment such as sales reps, drivers and even customers or suppliers need to interact with some of the information contained within it.
Our range of solutions make this possible in a secure, controlled manner while protecting the integrity of your Sage system.
What is possible?
Staff such as sales reps and drivers can use handheld computers to record a variety of activities such as orders and deliveries. These transactions are then transmitted wirelessly back from the field and update Sage Line 50 at whatever frequency you desire.
Information required by customers such as invoices, credit notes, sales orders and payments can be extracted from your Sage system and can be securely queried by them over the Internet.
You can use the Internet to raise purchase orders against your suppliers, record the receipt of materials, and make payments. These transactions can then be imported into Sage Line 50.
What are the benefits?
Our solutions enable you to leverage your investment in Sage Line 50 to make it work more effectively for you. Examples of the benefits include:
- Sales reps have access to up-to-date information enabling them to sell more effectively
- Drivers record any adjustments to deliveries at the point of delivery reducing errors and data entry effort
- Customers can view their activity and can settle their accounts online
- You can interact with suppliers electronically reducing administrative overhead
- New functions are available such as online access to signed delivery dockets
How does it work?
Very simply, information that is required by mobile computing applications or by the Internet applications is extracted from your Sage Line 50 system and is made available securely to those people authorised to interact with it. More details of how this works can be seen in the demonstrations that are available for each solution.
