Solutions That Fit Your Needs
Preserve your difference while taking advantage of standard best practices
Preserving its difference in the market is key for your company to remain competitive and grow. Your organization, processes and the unique way you manage your business significantly contribute to your difference. Therefore, opting for a new management system should help you take better advantage of your unique strengths rather than standardize the way you’re doing business in your market.
At Sage, we know that, while mid-sized companies often require customized business applications to support their specific processes – without investing in fastidious one-of-a-kind software developments, they also want to take advantage of the best standard practices in their industry.
Configured offerings to fit specific needs as standard
Therefore, we designed Sage ERP X3 to provide your company with both best-of-class standard management features and in-depth process customization capabilities, while remaining easy to parameterize and avoiding heavy custom developments. The result is a range of configured offerings, covering the standard requirements of your industry as well as being easily adaptable to your company’s specific organization:
Sage ERP X3 Discrete: addressing the needs of mid-sized discrete manufacturers in Industrial and Consumer Goods, Medical Devices, Paper and other Hard Goods Industries.
Sage ERP X3 Process: focused on the unique and specialized requirements of mid-sized process manufacturers in Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals and related industries.
Sage ERP X3 Distribution: designed to meet the demands of Wholesale Distributors, distribution arms of manufacturers, multichannel retailers and direct marketers (with the MCR extension module)
