From Data to Action: Sage Alerts & Workflows in Motion

We often hear our Sage 100 clients say things like, “I need to be notified when inventory drops below a certain level” or “We spend too much time chasing down approvals” and ask us, “How can you help us streamline our business?” That’s when Sage Alerts & Workflows typically becomes a top priority for us to introduce and execute with our clients.

If you're using Sage 100 without Sage Alerts & Workflows, you're likely leaving time, money, and valuable insights on the table.
Manual processes, missed follow-ups, and delayed responses can quietly erode productivity and profitability. Sage Alerts & Workflows changes that by automatically monitoring your data, sending real-time alerts, and triggering actions that keep your business moving, without the need for constant oversight.

It ensures the right people get the right information, exactly when they need it, to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

Delays in communication can cost you sales, customers, and cash flow.
Whether it's low inventory, overdue invoices, or unshipped orders, staying ahead requires more than manual checks and scattered follow-ups.  

Sage Alerts & Workflows turns your Sage 100 system into an active, real-time regulator, automatically delivering critical updates to the right people inside or outside your organization. That means faster action, fewer mistakes, and smarter decisions before small issues become big problems.

Key Benefits:

1. Improve Shipping Communication: Delays happen. Not communicating the delays can cause bigger problems. Sage Alerts & Workflows ensures customers and staff are notified automatically when issues arise.

2. Streamline the Sales Process: Automate the workflow from quote to order confirmation, shipment notice, and invoice delivery to reduce manual effort and speed up order processing.

3. Support Timely Payments: Send invoices, statements, and payment reminders automatically, helping to reduce late payments and improve cash flow.

4. Strengthen Inventory Management: Monitor lot expiration and “use by” dates to avoid unnecessary write-offs, receive alerts when stock exceeds maximum levels or drops below re-order points, and identify changes in customer buying habits early.

5. Monitor Job Progress: Alert your team when a job is trending over budget or experiencing bottlenecks so they can quickly take corrective action.

6. Automate Purchasing: Streamline the purchase order process, from creation to approvals, reducing delays and errors.

7. Maintain Data Accuracy: Identify items with identical descriptions but different item numbers and track & record changes made to key data fields.

8. Expand Monitoring Beyond ERP: Track activity in CRM, HR, and other integrated systems to gain a broader view of your operations.

Quick to Implement

Typically implemented in fewer than four hours, Sage Alerts & Workflows allows you to see benefits immediately. Once in place, it significantly reduces manual effort, improves communication, and helps your team work more efficiently.

Take a step towards stronger processes and improved profitability.
