Add-on for Sage Line 50

Add-on for Sage Line 50

Didn't find your answer?

We are a small Company that need a simplistic estimating, job costing, cost centre analysis and stock control add-on to Sage Line 50.
We have looked at Exordia but appears from the Demo to be overly complex. We only have a few hundred stock items, Customers etc
Any suggestions?

Quickbooks Pro
Get a trial copy of Quickbooks Pro from Intuit and test out the sample company included. Sounds as if it has all that you are looking for, including automated invoicing straight from estimates, in a very user friendly accounting package.
At around £200 for the whole package + £69 for the integrated payroll add-on, its very realistic in price and also very effective.

What about the standard product?
It's a couple of years since I used Sage, but I've used the standard Financial Controller plus the Job Costing module from Sage to do most of this, except estimating. I presume it's the limitations in the standard product that prompted Exordia to launch an enhanced version.
In my experience, simple estimating packages are next to useless, and useful ones tend to be complex.

Why not use Quickbooks
I wonder whether your business would be more suited to using Quickbooks as it is far more flexible that Sage and contains all of the functions you are looking for.
