Industries and sectors we work with

Industry experience, backed by Sage expertise

Different sectors come with different pressures, from traceability and compliance, to multi-site reporting and operational complexity. Five Go Live supports organisations across the UK and beyond with Sage implementation, integration and support, helping teams run more efficiently, report with confidence, and scale without the usual system headaches.

Manufacturing & Production

Manufacturers need joined-up control across production, stock, costing and reporting. We work with manufacturing businesses that are outgrowing spreadsheets or entry-level systems, helping replace manual work with structured processes and better visibility. Depending on your requirements, that may include solutions such as Sage 200 with manufacturing add-ons, or other Sage products that better fit how you plan, build and dispatch. The focus is always practical: improving traceability, tightening stock accuracy, and giving finance and operations the reporting they need to make faster decisions.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Engineering and fabrication

  • Assembly and light manufacturing

  • Batch and serial-controlled production

  • Pharmaceuticals and regulated supply chains

  • Make-to-order and make-to-stock operations

  • Multi-site manufacturing groups

Professional & Business Services

Service-led organisations still need strong financial control, clear reporting, and dependable processes as they grow. We support professional and business services firms with Sage solutions that improve cash flow visibility, strengthen management reporting, and reduce admin across billing and purchasing. Where CRM or productivity tools play a role, we can integrate systems so teams are not duplicating work across platforms. The result is a setup that supports growth and accountability, backed by a support team that understands your environment, not just the software.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Professional and advisory services

  • Managed services and support providers

  • IT and software-led businesses

  • Telecommunications and service operators

  • Back-office and business service firms

  • Multi-company finance teams

Distribution, Warehousing & Wholesale

Distribution businesses rely on accurate stock, fast fulfilment, and clear margin control. We support wholesalers and warehouse-led organisations by implementing Sage solutions that connect purchasing, inventory, sales order processing, dispatch and finance. For more complex operations, that can include solutions such as Sage 200 with specialist warehousing and integration tools, designed around how your teams work day to day. The outcome is fewer errors, better reporting, and a platform that can handle higher volumes and multiple locations without creating more admin.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Wholesale distribution and trade supply

  • B2B order processing and fulfilment

  • Multi-location warehousing and stock control

  • Pick, pack and dispatch operations

  • Supplier and delivery integrations

  • High-volume inventory environments

Food, Hospitality & Multi-site Operations

Fast-moving businesses need systems that keep up, especially where margins are tight and reporting must be reliable. We support food and hospitality organisations with Sage implementations that improve control across purchasing, stock, and performance reporting, including multi-site standardisation where needed. Depending on your setup, that may include solutions such as Sage 200 alongside sector tools for ordering, front-of-house, or operational management. The goal is straightforward: reduce duplication, improve data quality, and give leadership a clearer view of what is happening across sites.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Restaurant groups and multi-site hospitality

  • Food production and food service supply

  • Franchises and multi-entity operations

  • Stock-heavy, high-turnover environments

  • Integrated ordering and operational systems

  • UK and international trading groups

Education, Charities & Not-for-Profit

Education and not-for-profit organisations often need robust controls, clear audit trails, and consistent reporting across multiple entities or sites. We support academies, education groups and charities with Sage implementation and support that strengthens governance while reducing day-to-day admin. Depending on your structure, that may include solutions such as Sage 200 for multi-entity reporting, or alternative Sage products based on your requirements. Our approach is consultative and practical, helping teams standardise processes, improve visibility, and stay confident in their reporting.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Multi-academy trusts and education groups

  • Independent schools and training providers

  • Charities and not-for-profit organisations

  • Multi-entity and grant-led structures

  • Shared services finance teams

  • Audit-focused reporting environments

Construction, Projects & Asset-Based Businesses

Project-led organisations need a system that reflects real-world delivery, stock on site, and accurate financial tracking. We support construction and asset-based businesses with Sage solutions that improve purchasing control, job costing, invoicing and reporting. Where organisations manage equipment, stock locations, or rental and maintenance cycles, we can integrate Sage with specialist tools to improve visibility and reduce manual tracking. The aim is simple: fewer workarounds, better reporting, and a platform that supports growth, backed by reliable support when things get busy.

Sub-industries we commonly support:

  • Construction and contracting businesses

  • Project-led operations and job costing

  • Asset and equipment-heavy organisations

  • Installation and service delivery firms

  • Rental, hire and lifecycle billing models

  • Stock across sites, depots, or vans
