Why Sage 50 vs Sage 100
Sage 50 is designed for a limited number of users, inventory transactions, and functions; it is a solution made for one organization with one office location and relatively simple business processes. Though Sage50cloud, the latest Sage 50 version, introduces some additional connectivity, it does not offer the same extensive visibility that Sage 100cloud does. Historically, users have encountered issues when interacting with features such as the Sage 50 multi-user function, which may cause a loss of data that forces the shop to rely on single-user interfaces as a workaround.
Sage 100 cloud is a true Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that features modules for multiple industrial operations, including manufacturing, distribution, and retail, and can be positioned for various vertical sectors. All of this is in addition to the Sage 100 core accounting software and financial reporting functionality, which exceeds that of native Sage 50 and other off-the-shelf solutions. As a fully-equipped ERP solution, it can fulfill functions for both external and internal processes, including purchasing and payroll actions.

Additional SAGE 50 pain points include a lack of extensive data capture and processing, which will lead you to rely on manual entry and organization to keep track of all of your transactions after they reach a certain point. Though there are a few integrations that will help expand Sage 50’s functionality as an in-office accounting tool, you will have to compensate with additional solutions for any additional operational roles your business will require. Therefore the integration via GEM-ACCOUNTING SAGE 100, makes it easy to get the most out of the two systems.
