    Sage 100 has been well suited for running the monthly accounts receivable and accounts payable aging reports. This helps us track our accounts that need to be collected and payments that need to be made. Our field operations team has been slow and unwanting to adopt the Sage Field Ops just because they're resistant to change and technology. It's less appropriate for really detailed accounting reports spanning for long periods of time with all accounts because it takes a very long time to run and process.

    As we are selling products in multiple countries, we need multiple warehouses. Many apps out there is very much limited to one warehouse per account, but here we can track multi-warehouses so its really suited for our company and future scalability. It gives us clear advantage on forecasting, we can now prepare well for stockouts, and safety stock levels, it reduce cost for us from overstocking, thus giving us real ROI

    Cons
    Sage
    • Sage 100 at times will simply not connect to our server, we get remote support & all is well but, that issue tends to happen 2-3X a year.
    • Other than the above, I really can't complain. Coming from a more custom U.V. type database that used a whole bunch of codes to navigate, I think Sage 100 is 10x easier to use.

    • It still has some room for improvement, there's no option for custom formula
    • We cannot also create a product barcode within the webapp
    • Although PO label is possible, its just CSS and HTML, which is not friendly for team mates who usually manage it

    I would put this out to bid, if I were at the same organization. There have been a lot of improvements and changes in enterprise software and my preference would be to find a good web-based or cloud-based tool. Lower overall cost of ownership and improved efficiency would be my target criteria for a rebid of this.

    Usability
    Sage
    Overall Sage 100 has been pretty user friendly. If we have a question on anything, we are able to contact our implementation rep who helps us right away. Some of the Sage Field Operations may not be as intuitive for our field personnel to use. I wish the reports ran faster so that we could run and put together many reports quickly at once.

    Although it helped us to reduce cost, and help our company to save time and money in making sure we are monitoring all of our products, avoid overstocking and avoiding stockouts, just like other apps out there, there is some room for improvements for the app - first, its too expensive for small teams, second, there are times some glitch in SKUs that are on both warehouses, it has less flexibility in custom reports, and customized barcode creation

    We had an advantage in implementing the tool in that our director of Ops had been part of the team implementing the ERP for other users so we knew what to expect and were able to avoid a lot of the challenges people sometimes face with implementations. However, the process still took far longer than desired.

    I didn't choose Sage 100 ERP -- it was already in use when I started at the organization over five years ago. It has the same types of pros and cons as other big hulking software suites meant to power the infrastructure of corporations. It's slow, tough to customize, and doesn't connect well with other software. It does bring all the information into one place, which is great

    We used Prediko before for few months to a year, and its visual is stunning, but its a startup company by that time and the development is slow. The integration is also barely limited at that time. Although in terms of prediction - its cheap alternative is already great for accurate forecasting of stockouts, how many and how much to order for replenishment, colorful warnings and notifications and simple reports. Its more cheaper than Sage Inventory Advisor, but we still chosen Sage Inventory Advisor because of how many functions Sage Inventory Advisor could offer, namely customizable reports, multi-warehouse options (not possible on Prediko) and easy integration to our apps for warehouses.

    Return on Investment
    Sage
    • Sage 100 overall had a very positive overall ROI for the business. All users were making decisions based on the same information and valuable time was no longer spent trying to analyze data from a number of sources.
    • Moving the warehouses to using Sage 100 reduced the operating expense of the distribution side of the business by 5% on an annual basis (~$100K).

    • It reduced our warehouse storage cost as we can now plan ahead more accurately only buying what is needed
    • It helps us save time in organizing our datasets, thus our time is now revolving more on product sourcing rather than too much time in forecasting
    • We can now have a 3D view of our historical records and future scales, thus we can now more atleast near accurately predict future sales giving us data driven decision making easier
