Looking for Inventory Replenishment, Analysis and Forecasting for Sage 100? Look No Further!

Most Sage 100 ERP customers benefit from integrated software functionality that manages all inventory transactions from ordering and receiving goods, to moving products within or between locations, shipping and invoicing.

However, many Sage 100 ERP users require more relevant analysis and forecasting capability. Users want to dynamically adjust their inventory to demand and ensure optimal use of their capital invested in stock.

So, how can users get beyond manual operations for inventory analysis, forecasting and optimization, and get real-time integration with Sage 100 ERP to ensure accuracy and streamline replenishment processes?

Sage Inventory Advisor is designed to provide Sage ERP customers with a daily diagnostic of the inventory that makes a difference to the bottom line, reduces the time spent on forecasts, and resolves the optimal investment required to achieve target fill rates.

Sage Inventory Advisor can:

• Free up to capital invested in stock while improving fill rates

• Dramatically reduce the time spent on forecasting

• Be deployed in a few days

Tax Law Changes

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, signed into law on January 2, 2013, includes what some are calling the most sweeping changes in a decade.  Some of the tax provisions affect fixed assets management—many of which expired at the end of 2011, but have now been retroactively reinstated for 2012.  Let us help your firm get the most out of the changes by sharing these educational tools:

Sage Debit and Credit Card Processing

Having the ability to accept debit and credit card payments allows you to increase your cash flow by getting paid faster while reducing overhead costs.

There are other compelling reasons to accept debit and credit cards:

  • Studies show that consumers who pay with a credit card spend 2.5 times more than those who pay with cash
  • Advertising acceptance of debit and credit cards improves business credibility
  • Credit card customers are more likely to be impulse buyers
  • Some customers simply will not shop anywhere that does not accept a credit or debit card!

Excelapalooza! What a learning event!

In October, BizNet hosted their first Excel User Conference in Dallas, Texas.  Our team, joined by a few hundred other attendees, both customers and resellers of BizNet products, came together to learn about Excel and a lot more.  At the conference we were introduced to the latest and greatest for Financial Report Writing and have lots to share, everything from “Dash Boarding” to Automated Report Distribution!

Year End Processing Is Upon Us!

Well as 2012 winds down, it’s time to start thinking about all those “Year End” tasks.

Important updates to tax calculations are required for federal and some states that will affect your business. These changes have been incorporated into the Sage 100 ERP 2013-Q1 Tax Table Update (TTU), which will be available to download the week of December 17, 2012.

The following versions will be available in this update:

· 4.3.0.18+
· 4.4
· 4.5
· 2013

Keep your eye out for further announcements related to Payroll and Accounts Payable Tax Table updates and the “fiscal cliff” as all software companies cannot develop tax table updates until Congress makes a decision.

We will keep you informed as soon as Sage has updated their software to be compliant with the final decisions that Congress approves.

 

If you have not already evaluated the Atrix Solution, give us a call and we can help you learn how to automate many of the tax reporting tasks within the Sage 100 ERP application.
