Sage 100c Adds Inventory Functionality

Written by RKL Team | Aug 16, 2016 1:48:36 PM

Now Includes Sage Inventory Advisor “Basics” at No Charge

It was recently announced that Sage Inventory Advisor Basics is now included with select Sage 100c bundles at no additional cost. Read on to learn about this enhancement to Sage 100c and what it means for inventory management.

What Is Sage Inventory Advisor Basics?

By now, you’ve probably heard about the Sage Inventory Advisor add-on – a cloud-based inventory optimization tool that works hand in hand with your Sage 100 software.

The newer “Basics” product is based on the “full” Sage Inventory Advisor suite, but without:

  • Support for Bill of Materials
  • Central Warehouse Consolidation
  • Ability to Import Order Forecasts into Sage ERP

In short, it’s a light version of the product that focuses on the most common inventory challenges while removing some of the complexity of more advanced functionality in Sage Inventory Advisor that not every company needs or uses. At the same time, it makes the product easier to implement, understand, and start benefiting from right away.

How is It Different Than the Core Inventory Module?

The core inventory functionality in Sage 100c is focused on processing and managing transactions. From there, Sage Inventory Advisor Basics then leverages that transactional data to help you make more informed decisions about how much inventory to stock, when to buy more, and many other strategic insights that the core inventory functionality isn’t capable of. In short, they complement each other.

Here is a quick comparison of core Sage 100c inventory functionality versus Sage Inventory Advisor Basics:

Who Gets Sage Inventory Advisor Basics?

As mentioned earlier, Sage Inventory Advisor Basics will be included at no additional charge to customers running select Sage 100c bundles which include:

  • Sage 100c Advanced
  • Sage 100c Complete

The Sage 100c Essentials bundle – typically made up of “Financials Only” customers – is excluded.

In addition, customers running Sage 100c Advanced or Complete must be on a current Gold or Platinum level Business Care Plan. Customers on Silver level plans will not receive the free Sage Inventory Advisor Basics product.
