Sage Line 50 is by far the best selling accounting package to UK business, used by thousands of businesses in Devon and Cornwall.
To support this very active market we have extended our work on Microsoft Visual Studio to include integration with Sage software packages. This allows businesses using Sage to consider integrating with other systems, and enhance the productivity of their business.
Examples of Sage integrations that can be undertaken:
- Importing sales data into Sage Accounts from your eCommerce shopping cart.
- Migrate customer data into Sage from an existing web site.
- Feed your sage customer data to mobile devices in support of service engineers in the field.
- Extract accounting or Customer data from Sage for use in related business systems.
- Use Sage customer data in targeted email marketing activity.
- Trigger external programmes and processes from within the Sage environment.
Bespoke development is an involved process, and requires a solutions provider with a strong track record in requirement gathering, analysis, system design and project management. At Channel Computing we have all these.
A few typical indicators that a software integration could be beneficial to a business can be when:
- Staff are tied up doing repetitive manual tasks rather than looking after your customers.
- The same information needs to be typed into more than one system.
- The office is still mainly paper-based, with detailed data being stored on paper forms, before being typed into your IT or accounts systems.
- When key staff members away your administration systems break down.
- You know you have the information somewhere, but not sure exactly where.
- There is a lack of accurate reporting or data about the exact status of your business.
Technical backup and support for your accountant
We are software developers and integrators - not accountants, so we work to support your accountant or in-house financial team to deliver the IT solutions to help them do their job more efficiently.
We work in partnership with your accountant to ensure that your financial data is handled in a manner that is sympathetic to and enhances your existing business and accounting processes. We have offices in Devon and Cornwall, so wherever you are in the South West we have an experienced developer who is capable of providing the dedicated support that your business requires.
