Sage Alerts and Workflow Enable Proactive Response

Sage 100 Manufacturing Offers Efficiencies Your Customers Expect

All the financial and operational data is a tremendous source of critical information that you could act upon, if you just knew it was happening. How many headaches could your teams have avoided if you knew about something happening in the business to respond beforehand rather than react after the fact? Here are a few examples of how companies use Sage Alerts and Workflow to save time and costly headaches.

Real-time Notifications

Manually monitoring systems without tools such as Sage Alerts and Workflows can be time-consuming and difficult to scale. Sage Alerts utilizes data mining to analyze your entire database in real time. This automation then sends alerts or executes the next step in the workflow when certain conditions are met. Here are a few examples: 

• Your finance team can set an alert and workflow when the system detects a client has overdue invoices. Via easy-to-configure workflows, the system will change a setting in the system, placing that customer on credit hold and notifying your finance team.
• Another way to prevent costly headaches is by utilizing an alert and workflow that triggers when an item drops to a certain threshold. The system will create a purchase order and send it to your supplier and notify your team that this took place via email or text. 
• Drive additional sales by using the alert to advise your Sales team that a frequent buyer has not made a new purchase in 30 days. They can also be notified when an order ships or requires approval.

Alerts Across Different Systems

While most business applications offer some type of alerting in their solutions, Sage Alerts and Workflow include capabilities that are far more advanced. In most cases, your company has most likely integrated your Sage ERP with many or all of your supporting systems for manufacturing, payroll, and HRMS for example.

Sage Alerts has the capability to even look at the data in the various systems via APIs. Sage analyzes information from your connected apps and can also write information in those connected systems via APIs.

Pre-defined Events and Triggers Included

Getting started is a breeze with Sage's 80 pre-defined events and triggers. Beware though: experts advise that it’s best not to set up too many notifications all at once so you don’t inundate and overwhelm your teams in emails. 

The team at Vrakas Blum can help you understand your needs and configure your Sage solution to pull data from multiple different databases. Then, you can simultaneously compare them, add and change data within those other databases, ultimately giving you a single holistic view of your business just from your dashboard.
