We have just tested the integration of the latest versions of Sage 50 and ACT! and were pleased with the following results:

• You can import all your products from Sage 50 into ACT to use for tracking your sales opportunities;
• You can create a Sales quotation automatically from the products listed on your opportunity;
• When the customer proceeds with the order you can push the Sales Order into Sage 50 from the information listed on the opportunity without any rekeying;
• You can also see up to date customer account financial information within ACT, for example customer balance and invoices outstanding;

In conclusion, the level of integration between Sage 50 and ACT is impressive and should lead to better sharing of information for businesses using both these systems.

If you are interested in purchasing either Sage 50 or ACT! or if you have any questions relating to Sage 50 ACT! integration, please contact James  on (071) 9146815.

We have recently installed Direct Debit software for one of our key clients. It is written by Sage Developers and integrates fully with Sage 50 accounting software. The direct debit software creates an EMTS file from the customer invoices you wish to have paid. The integration with Sage saves you recording the customer receipt and subsequent allocation.

Persuading your customers to sign up to direct debits is an excellent way to improve cash flow. All you need to do is talk to your bank about becoming a direct debit originator.

For further information on Sage Direct Debit software, please contact James Doyle, jdoyle@synergynet.ie or phone him on 071 – 9146815
