Sage 200 Overview
What is Sage 200?
Sage 200 is a fully integrated ERP system designed for small to mid-sized businesses that have outgrown tools like Sage 50, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, or those that have lost support for Sage 1000. It brings finance, supply chain, manufacturing, projects and reporting into one connected platform, giving you a single source of truth across the business.
Unlike entry-level systems, Sage 200 is modular and highly configurable. This means you can start with the functionality you need now and extend the system as your operations become more complex, without the disruption of switching platforms again.

Sage 200 Implementation and Support Services
Stress-free implementation, training and ongoing support for Sage 200
A successful Sage 200 system depends on more than software alone. Our consultants manage the full lifecycle, from discovery and implementation through to training, optimisation and day-to-day support.

Find out how we deliver Sage 200
Stage 1
Project Scope
Before any project is confirmed, we take time to understand your business, requirements and objectives. Through consultative meetings, demonstrations and pre-sale assessments, we confirm Sage 200 is the right fit. Once agreed, we define scope, priorities, data migration requirements, system configuration and responsibilities, documenting everything clearly to align expectations from the outset.
Stage 2
Planning Workshop
Our planning workshops allow us to dive deeper into your processes and day-to-day operations. Using this detail, we create a test demo database configured around your real data. This ensures the system reflects how you work, supports meaningful training and allows us to recommend process improvements where they add genuine value.
Stage 3
Implementation & Development
With a detailed plan in place, our consultants and developers configure and customise Sage 200 to meet your agreed requirements. This includes system setup, integrations and any bespoke development. Where required, we also replicate existing stationery layouts such as invoices and delivery notes, ensuring familiarity and continuity across your business processes.
Stage 4
Testing & Training
User acceptance testing ensures Sage 200 meets your agreed requirements before going live. End-users validate the system thoroughly, giving confidence that everything works as expected. Alongside this, we deliver structured user and administration training using an exact replica of your system, preparing your team for a smooth and confident transition.
Stage 5
Go Live
Go-live is a critical milestone, and thorough preparation ensures minimal disruption. We migrate live data, complete detailed checks and confirm balances with your team before launch. Our consultants are on hand to support users and decision-makers, ensuring your Sage 200 system goes live smoothly and performs as expected from day one.
Stage 6
Ongoing Support
After go-live, we provide enhanced support to ensure your system continues to deliver value. Your project is formally handed over to our support team, who become your ongoing point of contact. As Sage releases updates and enhancements, we manage upgrades end to end, protecting your data, customisations and reports.
