Equip-Soft and Microsoft Dynamics vs. Sage
Sage has long held a reputation as a good ERP solution for mid-size companies. However, many Equipment companies are now selecting Equip-Soft over Sage for their ERP needs. Here are just three of the many reasons Equip-Soft could be a better fit for your business:
1. Equip-Soft and Microsoft Dynamics can grow with your business. Microsoft Dynamics offers outstanding scalability and performance based on the industry-standard Microsoft SQL Server, allowing you to scale from one to over 2,250 users on a single code base. Microsoft Dynamics also offers strong overall functionality to help meet the needs of your business today, and in the future. Equip-Soft offers equipment dealers industry specific functionality you need at a scalable rate, because we know what you need now isn’t necessarily what you’ll need in three years. You can grow your functionality as and when your business needs dictate.
2. Equip-Soft and Microsoft Dynamics smooth integration of your financial processes with all of your other business operations. If you're already using Microsoft Office and Windows, you'll find that Microsoft Dynamics is just as easy to use, working smoothly with the Microsoft products you're already familiar with. What's more, the underlying technology for Microsoft Dynamics is based on a standardized architecture that lends itself to outstanding third-party product integration. Equip-Soft takes advantage of this architecture to handle all of the Equipment industry specific aspects of running your business.
3. Equip-Soft and Microsoft Dynamics is committed to enhancing and supporting our solutions now, and well into the future. Microsoft has, and continues to, invest significantly in the business management software industry. With a published statement of direction for all of our solutions, and 10 years of support (5 years Mainstream Support and 5 years Extended Support) you can purchase with confidence, knowing your solution will be enhanced and supported for years to come by one of the most reliable vendors in the industry.
Doing your research is essential when evaluating ERP or DMS (Dealer Management System) vendors to select the right fit for your business. If you are looking at Sage as a potential solution, then consider asking these questions to help you make an informed decision:
1. Given the dozens of business and financial management applications Sage currently offers, what level of innovation and investment is Sage providing for each solution?
2. What is the future solution roadmap for the Sage product that I’m evaluating? Can Sage provide documentation on that?
3. What steps are required to move from one of Sage’s entry level solutions to one of its more sophisticated products? Will I be re-implementing new products and technologies as I grow with Sage?
Equip-Soft offers a complete product roadmap and upgrade path, providing customers with a stream of new features over the lifetime of use. Through our Customer Care Program, clients are provided with upgrades at no cost.
Equip-Soft helps equipment distributors manage growth and improve efficiencies through its rentals, service sales, parts, and fleet management software. This is done by matching up the best technology with the best business processes.
Most importantly, Equip-Soft is, as the name implies, completely focused on the needs of the Equipment industry - not pharmaceutical, CPG, chemical, or any other industry.
