Sage 300 CRE is that monolithic ERP that you sometimes hate to see show up on your screen but sometimes cannot live without.
Sage 300 CRE is our ERP application that we use for all Accounting and Project Management functions. It also has HR modules however we do not use that part of the application. Our whole organization uses it though sometimes for different pieces of their daily jobs. Accounting uses it extensively for GL, billing and other accounting related functions while our operations department uses mainly the Project Management functions with some limited accounting use. Since it is our almost complete ERP application it's considered our main bread-and-butter app though the good and bad sides of it.
- Sage 300 CRE, formerly Timberline, has been on the market for dozens of years and is a very mature application. You cannot go wrong with using it for day-to-day construction company business.
- Their support department, though sometimes a little weak on the front line, is built to handle the needs of very large companies thus even though it may sometimes take some extra calls you can always be assured of getting a needed answer.
- Since this is an almost all-in-one ERP the applications/modules are linked such that doing work in one will lead to information and data being entered throughout all the modules related to that data.
- Since this is a construction/real estate specific package, contractors need little customization to be able to use the application fully within the limits of construction terms and typical construction needs such as RFIs, Dailies, and Transmittals.
- As mentioned in the pros, Sage has been around for a long time and the user interface really shows it. It has a Windows 3.1 look to it and it can be irritating to users who want a more refreshed look.
- Using an old fashioned Pervasive database, Sage is not fast. The speed of the application really relies on the infrastructure of the servers, workstations and network involved but even in best-case scenarios some screens and reports are slow to load without the help of third party items such as their SQL Replicator piece.
- The out-of-the-box Sage 300 CRE experience is NOT at all mobile friendly. The only way to use it in a mobile sense is through Terminal Services type connection but that does not scale well to mobile devices thus it is basically not usable on anything except a decent laptop. They have come out with add-ons to make it more mobile friendly but that adds to the complexity of the install.
- The old interface has a lot of trouble with unique monitor arrangements whether extra monitors or non-standard resolutions.

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.

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.

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.
