The Possibilities are Endless: How to Modernize Sage 100 with IN-SYNCH
When you hear the words โdigital transformation,โ what do you think of? Most of us picture a company digitizing and automating previously paper-based processes. We may think of a company that was stuck in the past finally waking up to the wonders of software and technology. However, too often, our idea of digital transformation stops at the word โdigitalโ and doesnโt include ongoing โtransformation.โ
โTransformationโ is the key word here. In order to keep up with the rapid pace of todayโs business technology, companies must remain agile and continuously transformโeven if their processes are already digital. Itโs not enough to implement a software solution and then ignore it for the next three years. Companies that take that approach will quickly fall behind their competitors.
This principle applies to Sage 100, as well. While itโs a powerful and effective ERP solution, it doesnโt reach its fullest potential without modernization, transformation, and integration with other solutions.
Modernizing Sage 100 with IN-SYNCH
For companies who run on Sage 100, it can be difficult to know the next steps to take once the ERP is fully implemented. While, of course, every software implementation must be strategic and carefully thought out, integrating newer solutions with Sage 100 can be a great way to modernize Sage 100 without overturning your entire digital ecosystem.
As the Sage 100 partner with the largest customer base, DSD Business Systems has the ability to help you fully modernize your system. Using an endlessly flexible integration solution like IN-SYNCH means that you have the capacity to integrate nearly any third-party software with Sage 100. There are hundreds of different ways you could build upon your Sage 100 ERP in order to modernize it, so weโll cover only a few here.
Personalized E-commerce:
Online experiences are becoming more and more personalized to the specific individual, and e-commerce is no different. Customers have come to expect personalized recommendations along with a seamless ordering experience across all platforms. However, all of that is almost impossible without integrating Sage 100 and your companyโs e-commerce platforms and marketplaces. IN-SYNCH can integrate with any platform or marketplace, from Shopify to Amazon and everything in between.
Agentic AI:
AI isnโt just telling us things nowโitโs doing things. Agentic AI is AI thatโs capable of making decisions and running autonomous processes. Because this technology is fairly new, the best agentic AI solutions havenโt yet trickled down to ERPs. But by integrating agentic AI software through IN-SYNCHโs Connector API, your business can take advantage of this latest AI innovation.
IoT Capabilities:
For manufacturing or distribution companies, empowering their ERP systems with IoT (Internet of Things) capabilities can be a great modernization step. IoT integration allows businesses to collect and act on data throughout their operations. Real-time data that is collected in Sage 100 can be distributed to third party systems through IN-SYNCH.
Industry-Specific ERP Customization:
Some companies are moving away from the โone size fits allโ approach towards ERP strategy, instead turning to industry-specific ERPs. If your company already has a general ERP like Sage 100 installed, similar results can be achieved by integrating industry-specific third party solutions into your existing ERP. Again, with IN-SYNCHโs Connector API, nearly any third party solution can be integrated.
Real-Time Data:
Arguably the most important way to modernize your companyโs ERP is through real-time data. To get the most from all your software systems, they must be integrated well enough to share real-time data. IN-SYNCH supports two-way, real-time data exchange between software solutions without sacrificing data integrity or security. IN-SYNCH can integrate Sage 100 with your CRM, shipping, fulfillment, or 3PL solutionโand nearly anything else you can think of.
DSD also offers additional great enhancements to Sage 100, like advanced security modules and multi-bin modules; check them out here.
Modernizing Sage 100 with IN-SYNCH
While IN-SYNCH can integrate pretty much anything with Sage 100 in order to support your companyโs modernization, sometimes a bigger change is needed. If youโre looking to move to a new ERP, DSD can help you strategize, choose, and implement a new system.
Whatever path forward you choose, we would love to partner with you to help you achieve your goal.
