The Challenge

The Cost of Disconnected ERP & Accounting Systems

Operating Sage 200 and TIMS as standalone systems creates significant operational friction. Manual data transfers, reconciliation efforts, and delayed information hinder efficiency and expose your business to costly errors.

  • Data Silos & Inconsistency: Critical information (customers, orders, inventory) is fragmented, leading to conflicting data views and unreliable reports.
  • Manual Data Entry & Errors: Repetitive, manual input between systems is time-consuming, prone to human error, and a major drain on resources.
  • Delayed Business Processes: Slow order fulfillment, delayed invoicing, and protracted financial closes due to information bottlenecks.
  • Inaccurate Inventory & Overselling: Lack of real-time stock synchronization leads to incorrect inventory counts, customer dissatisfaction, and lost sales.
  • Lack of Real-time Visibility: Difficulty gaining a unified, up-to-date view of your financial health, sales performance, and operational status.
