Alternatives Considered

In my 15 years at this company, we have only used Sage100. Prior to purchasing Sage100, JobBoss was partially used; however, JobBoss did not integrate well with the general ledger, accounts payable and inventory of Sage100. Sage100 offers seamless integration of those functions.

Support Rating

We use a local software technology partner to help support our Sage100 needs. We do not need much assistance with Sage100. There are very few issues or questions.

Likelihood to Recommend

We utilize standard costing for manufacturing our products. Sage100 makes the process easy for setting production jobs, processing completed jobs and having all of that information integrate with the general ledger. When manufacturing consistent products, this process is easy and straightforward. The process may be much more difficult for companies that manufacture products for other people, i.e. job shops. While Sage100 could handle these scenarios, it would users to be continually adding custom inventory for each part made.

Sage100 offers a complete integration for small manufacturing companies
