A Sage 100 alternative built around how you run.
Sage 100, formerly MAS 90 and MAS 200, is Sage's accounting and ERP software for small and midsize businesses. thinkbridge builds a system around how your business prices, stocks and ships, and it can take over one area at a time while Sage 100 keeps running the rest.
Signs you've outgrown Sage 100
- Inventory, pricing or production rules run in spreadsheets beside Sage 100.
- Add-ons from several vendors each carry their own upgrades and support.
- Reports that should take a click take an export and an afternoon.
- You're adding locations or entities and the setup keeps getting more complicated.
Sage 100 compared with a system you own
| Sage 100 | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| How it fits | Configured around the vendor's standard process; gaps are closed with customization, add-ons or spreadsheets | Modeled on how your business actually runs, including its exceptions |
| Who owns it | You license it; the vendor owns the code and the roadmap | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| How you pay | Subscription or license, plus implementation partner fees | Priced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term |
| After go-live | Changes go through a partner or an upgrade cycle | Managed care keeps improving it; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |
| AI | Added through the vendor's roadmap and add-ons | Built into the workflows from the start |

Questions about moving off Sage 100
Can thinkbridge replace Sage 100?
Yes. thinkbridge models how the business runs, builds a system that fits and migrates the data from Sage 100 before cutover.
Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. thinkbridge can connect to Sage 100 and replace one area at a time, such as pricing, inventory or reporting.
Does it matter whether we run Sage 100 in the cloud or on our own servers?
No. thinkbridge maps the data and customizations in whichever setup you run, and your own team validates the migrated data before cutover.
How long does a Sage 100 replacement take?
About four months to go live.
