In most cases, you may upgrade directly to the latest release of Sage 100 without installing interim versions. Please consult with your Sage partner to see if this applies to your specific situation. In some instances, such as when coming from very old releases, you may be advised to make an interim upgrade prior to upgrading fully to the latest Sage 100 release.

Both Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud are functionally equivalent. The primary difference for Sage 100cloud is that it’s sold on a subscription basis which makes it cheaper to purchase initially and easier to add or remove users (30 days notice required). Consult our post on the differences between Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud for more detailed information.

Sage 100cloud also does not require any additional payment to use the Advanced (Client Server) or  SQL (Premium) versions.

 

10 Ways Mobile Sales for Sage 100 can improve your bottom line

by Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that empowering your reps to complete sales transactions in the field will help them sell more, thereby increasing revenue. And a Sage-integrated Mobile Sales solution can also save you time (and therefore, money) by automating many of the time-consuming and error-prone tasks associated with the sales cycle.

Keep reading below for 10 ways that Mobile Sales for Sage 100 helps you improve your bottom line by making it easy to sell while streamlining operations.

  1. Allowing your reps to view real-time information such a customer-specific pricing, quantity on hand, and order history will allow them to increase customer satisfaction by ensuring that they are selling the right products at the right price.
  2. Sales tax is hard. With a Mobile Sales tool that’s integrated with Avalara, you don’t have to worry about your reps spending their time trying to calculate sales tax (and still maybe not getting it right). They can get real-time sales tax calculations for accurate invoicing at the point of sale.
  3. Collecting payments on the spot is great for cash flow and AR. Mobile Sales tools that integrate with secure credit card processors like American Payment Solutions let you do just that.
  4. Eliminate the paper chase by capturing signatures in the field digitally and storing them in Sage.
  5. Receipts can be emailed or printed on the spot from the mobile device to close out the transaction.
  6. Buy only the devices you need. A good Mobile Sales tool will work on just about any device – from rugged barcode scanning computers to smart phones, tablets and full-sized laptops.
  7. There’s no need for your reps to learn how to use Sage to complete transactions. They have all the tools they need to close the deal at their fingertips with one easy to use app that optimized for mobility.
  8. Speaking of Sage, you don’t need additional Sage licenses or modules to use most Mobile Sales tools.
  9. You don’t need an internet connection to use Mobile Sales. Solutions like ScanForce Mobile Sales can operate with the latest synced data from Sage. Entries can be synced back to Sage when a connection becomes available.
  10. Mobile Sales isn’t just for field sales reps. Put them at the counter, in the showroom, on the tradeshow floor, wherever your customers are when they’re ready to buy!

There are many options for Mobile Sales tools. ScanForce Mobile Sales is the only Mobile Sales solution for Sage 100 that offers all this functionality and more.

by Leave a Comment

Here are links to all the latest file versions needed to update both Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud version 2018.x for year-end 2018 processing.

We recommend payroll users stay on the latest release of Sage 100. If you are still on Sage 100 Payroll 2017.1 or 2016.5 then you should finish the year on that release and upgrade to Payroll 2.x toward the end of Q1 2019.

If you are using 2016.5 please note that this is the last year tax tables and IRD will be available for that release.

Before upgrading your software please ensure that all third-party enhancements are compatible with the upgraded version you are moving to. Please consult your Sage partner for specific questions about the upgrade process.

These downloads include (in the order of use):
