BusinessWorks Consulting Services

See how we can make Sage BusinessWorks into a tool that allows you to streamline processes and make better decisions throughout your organization.

 

____________________________________________

 

Sage BusinessWorks goes beyond “off-the-shelf” bookkeeping accounting packages by offering a wide range of features such as project management, inventory control, contact management, and more! Make the most informed business decisions possible using the award-winning Sage BusinessWorks solution, which simplifies and streamlines key business functions and daily business activities, giving you an instant link to critical, up-to-the-minute accounting information and executive-level "Flash Reports" for key business areas.

This powerful system fills the gap between basic entry level accounting programs and complex high-end business packages. Small corporations find it extremely suitable for their needs because of its versatility. By combining high-end functionality and ease of use, at a price that is a fraction of other modular systems, Sage BusinessWorks is a great software value. Look at what's available!

  • Sage BusinessWorks supports up to 45 simultaneous users with open database connectivity to other applications.
  • General Ledger supports up to 8,000 accounts and 99 departments with all your current information.
  • Accounts Payable helps you maintain all your vendors information and generate a wide range of reports.
  • Accounts Receivable provides detailed information about your receivables and collections.
  • Cash Management includes the ability to reconcile bank transactions to the General Ledger from Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Accounts Payable.
  • Order Entry generates quotes, sales orders, and invoices for your customers. Vendor purchase orders can be generated directly from customer sales orders, with automatic drop-ship capability.
  • Inventory Control and Purchase Order maintains complete information and recommendations on inventory stock. Supports kits, assembly, serial number tracking, multiple warehouses.
  • Payroll prepares reports on payroll, paychecks, W-2s as well as federal and state reports--with direct deposit capability. Now with Print-N-Sign Tax Forms and eFiling. If you prefer outsourced payroll, Sage BusinessWorks now links to Sage Payroll Services for automatic integration of Cash Management and General Ledger information.
  • Job Cost tracks labor, materials equipment, overhead, sub-contracting and other associated job costs.
  • Custom Office allows you to use the extensive and robust features of Microsoft Office to easily create documents and spreadsheets from Sage BusinessWorks data.
  • Flash Reports and Business Graphics give top management a real-time view of every aspect of the business.

Additionally, Sage BusinessWorks contains a two-way link with Sage ACT!. This link provides true Customer Relationship Management (CRM) capabilities at a very low cost. Salespersons are empowered with the ability to see the status of customer's activities whether they are in the office or on the road. A sales and marketing plus.

Enhanced reporting capabilities are available with available Sage BusinessWorks editions of Crystal Reports and F9 Financial Report Writer. Two-way linkage between Sage BusinessWorks and package shipping systems is provided by StarShip.

NORTHBROOK Consulting Group has the expertise to get you up and running with Sage BusinessWorks. In addition to helping you design your system, NCG will accurately convert your outgrown existing system data right into Sage BusinessWorks. There's no need to run two systems simultaneously to obtain history information or work with your current data. If the "CONVERSION" of existing data has been the major concern, it no longer needs to be. NCG has it covered!

We are also Certified Trainers with Sage BusinessWorks. Training designed for how you are going to use BusinessWorks, and integrated with your workflow and processes. We can show you how to use the features of all your software to improve your bottom line--by streamlining processes, by increasing revenues, and by making better business decisions.

If that's not enough to make you look at Sage BusinessWorks . . . consider the Sage BusinessWorks Trade Up Program! Your previously used Sage accounting software may qualify for a discount from Sage North America of up to 20% towards your Sage BusinessWorks purchase!

An unbeatable combination: Sage BusinessWorks, NORTHBROOK Consulting Group's expertise, and credit for your old software.

Powerful business management/accounting software was never this easy!
