Sage 500 ERP Updates & News You Can Use

Short product updates, reminders, and useful information about your Sage 500 ERP software including Sage Intelligence Reports, SmartLinc Process Shipper, and an update on the FRx Conversion Assistant utility for Sage 500.

FREE SAGE INTELLIGENCE REPORTS

If you're using Sage Intelligence reporting and haven't already joined The B.I. Community online, you should check it out today.  You'll get access to demos, videos, downloads, and discussion forums that will help you make the most of your Sage 500 business intelligence reporting tool.

The Free Report Templates section of the B.I. Community is designed to foster a spirit of sharing among your fellow Sage customers and third-party developers.  A new report titled Lost Customers in 12 months is now available for download (you guessed it, free). It tracks customers who have been inactive for a period of 12 months or longer, regardless of the outstanding balance on their accounts. Other free reports that are available for download include: Sales Dashboard, Fast Moving Items, and Monthly Sales Trend.

NEW! SMARTLINC PROCESS SHIPPER

Sage recently announced that the SmartLinc Process Shipper will integrate with Sage 500 ERP sometime in early 2013.  This new shipping functionality for your ERP system includes:

  • A "low volume" integration that allows packaging in either Sage 500 or through the Process Shipper web interface.
  • A "high volume" integration that allows shipping staff to pack all day in the Process Shipper interface without requiring access (or additional user license) to Sage 500.
  • Competitive "best method" rate shopping.
  • The option to ship parcels, partial truckloads, or full truckloads from the same shipping portal.
  • The ability to track packages down to the line level.

Stay tuned and we'll update you as more information and details become available early next year.

FRx CONVERSION ASSISTANT NOW AVAILABLE

After months of anticipation, the FRx Conversion assistant is finally ready to download and use.  This handy utility is designed to simplify the process of converting and recreating your existing FRx reports into Sage Intelligence reports.

You can download the FRx Conversion Assistant here and be sure to Contact Us if you need assistance.
