Question: David, is Sage 100 ERP data available in the cloud? Do you know of a reasonably priced cloud hosted CRM software program that will work with both Sage 100 ERP (formerly MAS 90, MAS 200) and Microsoft Outlook?
Answer: The simple answer is yes, through SugarCRM! There are several CRM programs that integrate with Sage 100 ERP. Sage recommends its flagship Sage 100 ERP integrated CRM, which it owns and develops, called Sage CRM. Sage also offers SalesLogix. If you are looking for an affordable cloud-hosted CRM solution that integrates with Sage 100 ERP, we recommend SugarCRM. We have many reasons for recommending SugarCRM for Sage 100 ERP. SugarCRM is the fastest growing CRM software in the world with over 6.000 installations. SugarCRM works with both Microsoft Outlook, Sage 100 ERP and is an open-source CRM. This means it can be integrated with a number of other everyday business software solutions, such as email marketing, accounting software, payment solutions and more. There is a SugarCRM Sage 100 ERP integration available at an extremely affordable price. SugarCRM offers much more in functionality at a fraction of the cost of SageCRM.
The Sage 100 ERP SugarCRM integration provides a 360-degree view of the customer. All sales history is synced into SugarCRM from Sage 100 ERP, providing salespeople with a 360-degree view of their customers directly within SugarCRM. The Sage 100 ERP SugarCRM integration provides sales representatives with visibility in SugarCRM to account sales history information in Sage 100 ERP, eliminating the need to access Sage 100 ERP directly. The sales history is not only organized by month and year, but also by product, allowing a salesperson to view “Top Sellers” as well as items that are not selling as well with that account.
The SugarCRM Sage 100 ERP integration eliminates redundant data entry. Sales orders are entered into SugarCRM and automatically transferred into Sage 100 ERP, eliminating duplicate data entry and increasing order accuracy within Sage 100 ERP. In addition, because sales reps can be entering these orders themselves on the road on laptops, iPads, or mobile phones, the speed at which orders get into the system is dramatically increased. Customer name and address changes in one system can be instantly updated in the other.
The SugarCRM Sage 100 ERP integration eliminates the need for purchasing expensive Sage 100 ERP User Licenses by seeing ERP Data in SugarCRM. Sales representatives can view inventory quantities on hand, open sales orders, invoice history, and customer credit information, all of which they previously had to look up directly in Sage 100 ERP or request someone to look up for them.
The SugarCRM Sage 100 ERP integration enables users to view Sage 100 ERP data in the Cloud and on mobile devices through SugarCRM. SugarCRM enables sales representatives to access Sage ERP data remotely, on their iPads, and on other mobile devices, without requiring a direct connection to the office. Many Sage CRM solutions require a VPN connection to the server for true integration with Sage 100 ERP. SugarCRM has virtually real-time integration, and users can see all the critical data they need in the cloud.
The SugarCRM Sage 100 ERP integration provides a more streamlined sales history view in SugarCRM compared to Sage 100 ERP. The integration syncs Sales History by Inventory Item, Sales History by Product Line, and Sales History by Item Category for each customer, the data is readily available within each account in SugarCRM. Sage 100 ERP itself does not have this level of reporting easily accessible.
