What is Sage 200 and How Much Does it Cost?

What is Sage 200?

Sage 200 is a highly flexible business management system made for small to medium sized businesses.

Sage 200 consists of integrated software modules that are designed to help businesses run smoothly and efficiently. With Sage 200 businesses can easily share information and manage processes across all teams, including manufacturing, supply chain and stock teams, using one integrated system.

Sage 200 is fully customisable, allowing users to tailor the system to meet their individual business needs, and can be deployed either in the cloud or as an on-premise solution on a subscription basis.

What makes Sage 200 different?

Sage 200 is now connected to Microsoft Office 365, allowing teams to collaborate easily through Microsoft’s cloud compliant environment. Files and data are no longer tied to a single computer, so there’s more choice to work remotely, saving businesses time and money.  

Why choose Sage 200?

Sage 200 allows users to gain complete visibility over all their business operations.
Sage 200 is a perfect fit for businesses with an annual turnover of £2M - £100M, or 50 – 250 employees as the system is fully customisable and able to grow with a business.

Sage 200 offers users complete business control through the use of powerful integrated software modules that cover many business processes outside of the core accounting ledgers. From core financials, to supply chain and sales, Sage 200 allows a user to manage them all through one integrated system.

Sage 200 is also fully compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD) and has facilities for GDPR legislation.
Another key strength of Sage 200 is the large number of third party add ons that have been developed to work alongside the software, making Sage 200 highly scalable.

Sage 200 is ideal for businesses that:

• Have an annual turnover of £2M - £100M, or 50 – 250 employees
• Are growing and have surpassed the capabilities of Sage 50
• Are using older ‘legacy’ systems that are no longer supported
• Have multiple stock locations
• Need to manage complex business processes
• Have a need for customised system functionality

Cost

At Onesys we know that no two businesses run in exactly the same way. That’s why we don’t offer standard Sage packages – we pride ourselves on getting to know our customers and providing tailored Sage software packages to meet their needs. For this reason, it’s impossible for us to add a comprehensive price list to our website.

Our basic price for Sage 200 Standard and support starts at £368.50 per month, however, this won’t be the best solution for all. Please contact us for a solution and price that’s tailor-made for you and your company. To enquire please contact our sales team on 01423 330335 or email us at sales@onesys.co.uk.
