Sage 300 is the real deal.
Sage 300 is used in our construction division. The software is used to collaborate project details with construction mangers, architects, field operations, and clients.
- Change orders
- Office and Field communication tool
- Keeping the client involved in day-to-day schedules and progress
- Learning curve is steep
- Field personnel sometimes lack the technical skills required to use the product
- Customizing toward individual companies can be difficult.
- Communication between office and field personnel has increased significantly.
- Change orders are much more easily handled and friction between client and company is minimal in regards to change orders.
- Communication and understanding between the Builder and Architects are much improved.
Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate is much more robust with features and capabilities than BuilderTrend.

Sage 300: Frustrated User
We have three operators using it every day to prepare construction estimates. We put in material and labor take-offs as well as subcontractor and supplier bids. Then we send the budget to the accounting software where we can run our purchase orders, track our labor hours, do our billings, and pay our suppliers.
- Once you get it set up with all the vendors and cost codes, it works okay to manage all the transactions.
- It is made for construction, tailored for the way we use it.
- Flexible, you can modify every input and make it the way you want it.
- They have never dramatically changed the software in the last 20 years. The format could be improved.
- Very expensive. Pay every year for upgrades that don't really change anything. Need to pay for each user.
- Really hard to set up correctly. New users need to spend a month of labor getting all the cost codes in there and all the vendors in the system.
- The system crashes a lot, you'll be working along and then you get a critical error and need to restart it.
- We could have invested in something much lower cost and saved ourselves a lot of money. Probably would have been happier in the long run.
A few years ago we looked at Computerease. We were amazed at how great the reports looked and how flexible the software was. We felt like it would be much better and less expensive. We were just worried about all the time it would take to set up a new system. Timberline took so long that we didn't want to go through that again.

Powerful but the UI makes it a mediocre product.
It is used across the entire organization between Heavy Job and Sage 300, it is implemented by the field, the cost department, and the executives. We do change management, cost coding, cost reports, field reports, and revenue recognition. Essentially every facet of our business is carried out through Sage 300. Although it can be clunky at times, as an organizational tool it exceeds our expectations, but it has a lot of room for improvement, especially pertaining to the user interface.
- Sage 300 does a wonderful job in change management. Trying to manage a $90M job is difficult enough, but having over 60 change requests makes it essentially impossible if it wasn't for this module.
- Summary Reports. This module is the only way to get a true litmus test of the job. We use this during every monthly meeting and would probably be lost as to the status for the job without it.
- Transmittals are a masterpiece on Sage. I don't say this too lightly, but by all means it is an absolute masterpiece. When we have all different PMs doing all different transmittal, it's wonderful to see them all in one place following one template. No more trying to collaborate people's emails into a folder hoping they all are formatted the same way. This is a completely underappreciated facet of Sage 300.
- The user interface is not good, flat out. The style in which you access the information looks like a primitive version of Microsoft. In addition, there is a lack of congruence between certain screens. With some modules, you press the 'X' in the top right exit, with some you have to press a 'cancel' button, and then another cancel located elsewhere.
- To be honest a majority of the issues I experience can be correlated to the user interface. It is by far the worst aspect of Sage 300. With all due respect, Sage has a wonderful product that needs a new coat of paint. I'm hoping with the future updates they will take examples from other organizations in order to bring the UI into the 21st century, because their format is simply archaic.
- Sage has completely changed our culture at my company. At first, our field reports were not detailed, as they were not giving us quantities to actually track the job. We had no clue what the progress of activities was, because it was a general 'How are things going?' "Good" conversation. Now we track our progress quantitatively.
- We have been able to track and organize our change events to actually recognize revenue on particular jobs. We had so many Change events being lost and this simplified that. It allows us to pursue these events and actually recognize revenue. Overall this is an amazing benefit of Sage.
- As an organization, we have been able to identify losing bid items and avoid those in the futures.
To be completely honest, I think Sage is worse than JD Edwards. The user interface is by far the worst I have seen in this industry. It's as if every other company lives in 2019 and Sage is living in 1998. The largest flaw I have seen in a program that debilitates the program is this user interface. So Sage, if you're reading this, please hire some consultants to fix this. It's unacceptable to have such a powerful tool hidden behind such an ugly and nonfunctional interface.

Would you implement Sage 300?
We use Sage 300 as our ERP system. It is mainly used by the accounting department as a GL and reporting system. We have added Timberscan to Timberline as a conduit to approve invoices and load the backup into the Timberline Sage 300 system. The system is our single source of truth.
- All the backup is saved in the system.
- Job costing module is helpful for the business.
- Bank reconciliations done on the system.
- The AP Module is great to track invoices.
- Reporting can be improved.
- A running total on the GL can be beneficial.
- Integration with Microsoft products for reporting will be beneficial.
- The ERP system is our single source of truth
- Better reporting will be ideal
- Helped immensely with expense management
Both ERP systems are great for construction and real estate companies. They both have job costing modules that are essential for our business. We bought a company that has Sage 300 X3 however we decided to use Sage 300 ERP instead. I believe the X3 is a better system however the executives did not want to change the head office system.
