Sage 200  

About Sage 200 

The Sage 200 Suite of business management software helps organisations with a typical turnover of £1m-£20m to coordinate their whole business: from customer-facing systems, through back-office processes, to core activities such as accounting, retail/wholesale, construction, manufacturing, sales, marketing, customer services and engineering.

Sage 200 helps staff work together more effectively and limited or expensive resources are optimised. Managers have instant access to company-wide information and are equipped to plan for the future.

Many elements of Sage 200 have evolved over a long period of time; for example, Sage 200 Financials and Sage 200 Commercials are based on Sage MMS, a tried and tested system available for some years.

The basis of the suite is the Sage 200 platform, which includes the following 'core' software: Sage 200 Financials and Sage 200 CRM. Further core modules can then be added to this platform including: Sage 200 Commercials, Sage 200 Project Accounting, Sage 200 Bill of Materials, Sage 200 Construction, and Sage 200 Wholesale and Retail.
