Whatever your business, and however long you've been running, if you're not using some sort of accounting software then you could be running more efficiently. Many people don't really see how much more streamlined a simple piece of technology can make them, but the reality is Sage 200 demos can show just how much your business could be improved with the platform.
Rather than looking into how businesses can benefit from this software, some directors will decide that they can spend their money in better ways, and therefore skip this important and valuable process. A Sage partner will be able to show you all the benefits of the system through a Sage 200 demo, allowing you to see how it can impact you on an everyday basis, and whether it's the right option for you. The platforms are comprehensive and you might find that you don't actually need all the element or the on premise version to fulfil your needs (which will obviously help to lower the overall costs).
What can you afford?
A really good CRM isn't a budget option, but a long term and useful solution. To make sure your company's cash flow isn't too negatively impacted, you need to be careful that you're only spending money on what you need to spend money on.
For example, after you've spoken to a Sage partner and organised a Sage 200 demo, you might decide that you want to buy the software outright. This will mean an initial outgoing which can be quite a lot, however it will mean that you own your software, and you won't need to continue to make monthly payments which will work out much cheaper in the long run (and you're going to be using this platform for a while!).
If you can't afford to buy the software outright, there are lease options available instead. You'll need to decide which modules are going to be the most beneficial to you (the Sage 200 demo will help clarify this), and as your business grows and changes you'll be able to add extra modules and more users. An added benefit of this is you won't be paying for elements which you don't need and won't use, and therefore you'll be spending less overall. If you need to change or upgrade to software this will be a simple change of subscription rather than a need implement a lot of changes.
Alternatively you could use the cloud based system. This again is a lease system, but instead of being hosted by your business it is online, and therefore you can access your Sage 200 from any device wherever you are. All you need is an internet connection and the login details to access vital information - perfect for salesmen on the road.
You also won't need the same IT set up that you would if you were hosting and backing up your own data. You can be ready to go almost instantly.
The first step on your journey is to arrange a Sage 200 demo so you can see the benefits, after that you can make full use of all the features by purchasing or leasing the CRM.
