Sample Integrations:
Journal Entries - prepare complex and recurring journal entries outside of Sage 100 Contractor in Excel or Google Sheets.
Having the ability to use a spreadsheet to prepare journal entries has several advantages. For instance, having the ability to iteratively save your work,
or the ability to start and stop what you're doing as frequently as you'd like without worrying about losing what you've done. Moreover, the ability
to work at your own pace while not monopolizing valuable and limited Sage licenses can make preparing journal entries so much more efficient and cost effective.
Budgets - prepare your budgets in Excel or Google Docs. This is what spreadsheets were designed for. Not only can you take advantage of the advanced
budgeting and proforma features of a spreadsheet but it will enable you to more easily collaborate with others in your organization to prepare and finalize your budgets. Once you're finished
simply import the budget into Sage 100 Contractor.
Timecard Entry - use a 3rd party time entry system or Excel to prepare and capture field time. Import the time back into Sage 100 Contractor as a
Daily Payroll. Eliminate the need to rekey time from an external timecard system into Sage 100 Contractor increasing the chance for human errors and incorrect payrolls.
CRM Integration - maintain a single list of contacts, clients, vendors, subcontractors in your CRM system or other source
system such as an external Project Management system and integrate those contacts back into Sage 100 Contractor without maintaining and entering
the same information in Sage 100 Contractor.
Purchase Orders - maintain and enter PO's in the field on a spreadsheet or 3rd party project management solution and import those PO's
back into Sage 100 Contractor without manually re-keying the details.
Subcontractor Invoices - import invoices for subcontractor payment applications either individually or in bulk from a spreadsheet. For example
imagine generating each subcontractors payment application dynamically from the data in Sage 100 Contractor into individual Excel Workbooks. Then emailing the workbooks
to each subcontractor for them to fill out. The completed workbooks could then be emailed back and the information could be dynamically imported back into
Sage 100 Contractor as approved invoices, thereby eliminating the rekeying of invoices back into Sage.
AR Invoices - import AR Invoices either individually or in bulk from a spreadsheet or external system. For example, bulk import recurring
service contract invoices on a monthly basis rather than manually entering the individual invoices into Sage 100 Contractor.
