(1-3 of 3)Keep up with technology and take your accounting to the cloud with Sage One Accounting
- The ability to log in to your accounting data anywhere you have internet. No sending backups to your accountant, no more trying to recover lost data, or having to log in to a server. This cloud hosted solution gives you a lot more freedom and flexibility as I can log in to it from any computer, or mobile device.
- The ability to send professional invoices or quotes to my customers while still at their location. Also the ability to easily track my receivables and stay on top of them as they are always right at my fingertips.
- Project tracking is a great feature. With this module you can send tasks associated with a project to your team without giving them access to your financial information. They can report to you where they are at on the project to help you stay on track. You can track the revenue and expenses associated with this project to make sure you are making a profit.
- Bank integration brings in all the transactions and easily lets you allocate to the appropriate revenue and expense account or match to sales invoices or purchase invoices saving you time in data entry.
- Sage One integrates with Sage Payment solutions or Paypal. By giving your customers more options to pay helping you stay on top of your receivables.
- I love how it imports into the Sage 50 Accounting software for those customers who still need the features and functionality of the desktop software.
- Just released the integration between Sage 50 and Sage One just got easier. The previous versions of Sage One and Sage 50 had the ability to download customer transactions from Sage One including invoicing, other income, bills, expenses, bank transfers and general journal entries to your Sage 50 accounting software.
- With the latest update for Sage 50 you can now automatically upload and map your Sage 50 customer records, vendors, accounts, inventory items, and tax codes to Sage One for a quick, easy setup and perfect record match every time. This makes things so much easier when setting up new customers in Sage One
- Now that important client information flows both ways, you can set up a new client in Sage One in minutes by accessing your Sage One connection wizard (under “file tab” in Sage 50 Accountants Edition) For the customers, vendors and accounts and products and services.
- The other information such as Sales invoices and other income, Bills and other expenses, Bank Transfers, general journal entries flow from Sage One to Sage 50.
- It is currently missing the payroll module to make it complete but is on the road map and should be released soon. I am anxiously awaiting this release as it would make this accounting program complete.
- It will allow you to use products and services when invoicing but doesn't yet allow you to track quantity for your inventory but I believe that is also on the road map or you can always import your transactions in to Sage 50 where it will track your inventory for you.

- I find my customers are always looking to me for the newest, latest and greatest products and technology that are available to help them be for efficient and keep up with their customers demands and they were happy when I was able to bring them Sage One, a cloud hosted solution. I find everyone is on the go these days and it is so much easier having a cloud hosted accounting software to be able to access our data anytime you need.
- Some benefits that I have noticed since using Sage One is better customer service, I am able to access my customer's data and give them the advice they need anytime, they don't have to wait until I get back to the office for answers that they need.
- It has also increased our efficiency by having the customer do their own sales invoicing and then we import the information in to the Sage 50 software for some of the customers saving us the time on duplicating the work of re-entering their sales invoices.
- I have tried some of the other cloud accounting programs but I will not list names as I do not believe in bad mouthing the competition to make a particular product look better

- The new customer integration with the latest Sage 50 release, you can now automatically upload your Sage 50 Accounting customer records so if you are switching to Sage One or utilizing both software this makes things a lot faster and easier.
- The same goes for new vendors integration with the latest Sage 50 release, you can now automatically upload your Sage 50 Accounting vendors records so if you are switching to Sage One or utilizing both software this makes things a lot faster and easier.
- With the new update the chart of accounts, inventory items, and tax codes from your Sage 50 Accounting you can now automatically upload and map to Sage One for a quick, easy setup and perfect record match every time.
- The bank account set up and upload is very easy to do with step by step instruction to follow.
- Once your bank account is set up it is very easy to upload and match the transactions with customer or vendor paid invoices or to just expense each transaction at that time.
- Using and setting up the accepting credit card feature in the software is easy to do. I have found the rates to be very competitive if you would like to accept credit cards from your customers. I like this feature as when I send an invoice out it will include a pay icon for the customers convenience to click and pay their invoice right away.
- Uploading transaction from Sage One to Sage 50 if you are utilizing both Software programs like I do they have made this very fast and easy saving a lot of time and energy in reentering transactions. For example if your customer does their own sales invoicing it is nice to be able to upload them rather than reenter the information.
- Setting up your invoice layout is very easy and has a few choices to choose from and you can add your logo quickly and easily.
- Inventory tracking is not yet available so this would be a challenge for some customers if this is a must in your company
- Payroll will be out shortly but right now if you have payroll you have to look at manual calculations of the deductions
- Other than that I find it very user friendly and easy to train my customers on.
- Customised Invoice and Quotes through their Sage Report Designer
- Capture expenses (photo of receipt and details) through a dedicated mobile App
- Automatically update your bank feed
- Easy to understand Dash Board, to get a instant snapshot of where the business stands
- Accountant has access to your account and can do all the reports and submissions he has to without ever contacting you.
- Incredible support team!!
- When creating an Invoice/Quote there should be a Summary Field where you can summarise what the Invoice/Quote is about, so that you do not have to go into Report Designer each time to add a custom field.

SageOne Successful for Startups
- Sage One is customer focused which is great! The invest a lot of time and resources into evaluating the customers' needs to improve the product.
- Conveniently generates various reports that allow you to review the financial status of your company in a few clicks.
- Provides the ability to link business accounts to the software...whether they are online or brick and mortar. This allows for a seamless snapshot of your cashflow.
- I've been asking... in my line of business, I could really use a PACKING SLIP that aligns with my Invoices. My customers ask for them and I have to use another software program to generate it since its not avaiable on Sage One.
- It would be great to have the option to get audio tutorials that we could enable or disable when going to links we have not used yet. Many of the terms are accounting based but for someone who doesn't know how a certain feature could be used a 45 second tutorial would be great.
- Along the same line... a link to the Sage One Community blog would also be good to connect the customer with others generating the same needs/ideas and sharing tips to engage more fully into the software.
