Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an integral aspect of every business entity. Technology has now made it possible for organizations to streamline ERP through dedicated software solutions. However, most ERP solutions still cater to large organizations with an international footprint and multibillion balance sheets. They are “oversized” for small-to-medium scale enterprises. Sage 300 has emerged as a good ERP solution for SMEs. However, the optimum use of this software is not possible without having a seasoned Sage 300 ERP consultant on board.
Why Do You Need a Sage 300 ERP Consultant?
Small and medium enterprises don’t have endless resources like large organizations and groups of companies. The budgetary and HR limitations make it difficult for them to use comprehensive software solutions for full potential and capability. For instance, they might be able to afford an ERP application. However, its implementation and use is something that they struggle to pull off due to a lack of in-house expertise.
An experienced third-party Sage 300 ERP consultant is someone who can help SMEs in this regard. They ensure that small and medium-scale businesses can leverage ERP software activities and workflow without facing budgetary and operational crises.
A sage 300 consultant helps organizations use this ERP solution in many capacities and roles.
A Sage 300 ERP Consultant Plans, Design, and Configure the Software
Sage 300 ERP works for SMEs across the organizational spectrum. Therefore, its interface boasts a generic and universal design that enterprises can set in line with their business requirements. With literally hundreds of its features, an unmarked non-configured Sage 300 can be daunting and overwhelming for the business’s workforce.
Accountants, inventory managers, and other resource planning specialists used to work with conventional “non-software” means severely struggle to configure and customize Sage 300 for the business requirements. Sage consultants can help them. An experienced Sage 300 ERP consultant with multi-vendor experience can customize the software features for the unique operational requirements of a business.
Seasoned Sage consultants first carry a detailed requirement analysis when a business commissions them for Sage 300 ERP implementation. They understand the business from both supplier/vendor and client/consumer sides and come up with a plan on how to approach and configure Sage ERP features.
From AP/AR modules to General Ledger and Inventory Control to Order Entry, they ensure that you can use commercially available Sage 300 ERP software as a custom-built solution.
A Sage 300 ERP Consultant Ensures Successful Software Implementation
Seasoned Sage 300 ERP consultants don’t just plan and configure the software environment and leave. They also make sure that the software and all its features have been implemented successfully. There are multiple ways in which a sage 300 ERP consultant can ensure successful implementation.
- They test-run the software and assess its different features for the authentic organizational data. For instance, they might devise the price list codes by using the pricing data given by the company. Similarly, they can use AP, AR modules, general ledger, and the list of common services with real data to ascertain that Sage 300 is up and running for the organization.
- The successful Sage 300 implementation can’t be completed without training the in-house workforce. Sage 300 ERP consultants also work on that front. They are fully aware of the fact that SMEs often suffer from understaffing. Therefore, they extend their services to staff training. They teach and guide the relevant in-house professionals so the organization can eventually become self-sufficient with the use of the Sage 300.
