9 Exciting Features in Sage X3 Product Update

1. User interface, navigation, and productivity: Breadcrumbs and new keyboard shortcuts make for a simplified and faster navigation. Microsoft Office integration improvements increase productivity. Tooltips are descriptions, tips or hints that show up once you hover over the icons.  The icons and truncated text make the user interface interactive and much easier to understand.
2. Mobility: Sage X3 Product Update 9 comes with a new redesigned user interface for mobile devices, which are easily compatible with different devices like smartphones and tablets. This provides better screen layouts and simplified navigation. The new web mobile client has offline capabilities as well! A new mobile app is now available to track and manage fixed assets.
3. Version management:  With the new version management functionality, all changes to products and bill of materials are fully traceable and only done by authorized users.
4. Change control management  Now in Sage X3, authorized users can make changes, test the potential impact of the change, and then send the change for approval.
5. Distribution: New functionality optimizes logistics through the management of suppliers, containers and shipments. Users can now view container capacities by provider, free freight levels, minimum and maximum orders. With this new functionality, freight costs can be optimized by purchasing based on order costs and ordering based on container capacity. The ability to see other products and options offered by a supplier helps increase purchasing and shipping efficiencies. Shipping costs can be reduced by maximizing each shipment from a supplier. Sage X3 Product Update 9 supports universal and secure EDI data exchanges for sales and purchases.
