Most people think that ERP solutions are only for large companies and enterprises. After all, doesn’t ERP stand for enterprise resource planning?
In truth, ERP solutions should also be in place for small businesses. When it comes to small business ERPs, there are actually not much to choose from. However, lead players in the market are really something that you can depend.
One of the few ERP solutions that most small business owners are after is the Sage MAS ERP solution. It comes in three versions depending on the size of your company – Sage 90 MAS, Sage 200 MAS and Sage 500 MAS. The latter is usually recommended for larger companies and enterprises. Both the MAS 90 and the MAS 200 come in an extended version which provides for a complete system for end-to-end transactions. It has an enhanced finance, distribution, manufacturing, business intelligence and CRM modules.
The MAS90 software and the Sage MAS 200 feature several modules such as human resource management, time and project management, and eBusiness. The human resource management module allows for payroll processing with Direct Deposit, electronic reporting, and federal and state eFiling and reporting. It also integrates easily with Sage ABRA Payroll and ABRA HR. On the other hand, the time and project management module allows for job costing. It also featured TimeCard with which you can monitor your employees’ attendance.
eBusiness, the last module of the MAS 90 and the Sage MAS 200 software, allow small businesses to start their own virtual storefront. This e-commerce module can be up and running in a matter of minutes. All transactions processed from this module are shared throughout the system enabling you to get the needed information anytime of the day. It also contains an inventory management function allowing you to monitor your products accurately.
Since both the MAS90 software and the MAS 200 are being developed and marketed by Sage, they both share the same features that Sage is known for – scalable and easy-to-use. This means that you do not have to spend much for modules that you would not be able to use. Aside from this, you get to do away with the need to spend months and months for the training of your employee.
