Sage ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) refers to a family of robust software solutions designed to help businesses of various sizes and industries manage their core operations. From financials and accounting to manufacturing, distribution, and customer relationship management, Sage ERP systems provide an integrated platform to streamline processes, improve visibility, and drive growth. Unlike a single monolithic product, Sage offers a portfolio of ERP solutions, each tailored to different business sizes and complexities. This allows companies to choose a system that best fits their current needs while providing pathways for scalability.
Common Modules and Functionalities Across Sage ERP Systems
While specific modules vary by product, most Sage ERP solutions share a core set of functionalities:
Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Manages customer interactions, leads, opportunities, and provides support case management (either built-in or through integration with Sage CRM/third-party CRMs).
Multi-Company & Multi-Currency: Essential for businesses operating across different regions or with multiple legal entities (prominent in Sage 300 and X3).
Inventory & Warehouse Management: Tracks inventory levels across locations, manages costing, and optimizes warehouse operations to reduce stockouts and overstocks.
Manufacturing (for higher-tier products): Bill of Materials (BOM), Master Production Scheduling (MPS), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), shop floor control, and production planning.
