A Sage 300 alternative built around how you run.
Sage 300, formerly Accpac, is Sage's ERP software for midsize businesses, covering accounting, inventory, operations and reporting. A custom-fit system built around your entities, currencies and sites can sit beside it or replace it, and at the end of the term you own it.
Signs you've outgrown Sage 300
- Consolidating entities or currencies still happens in spreadsheets beside Sage 300.
- Customizations and add-ons have to be rechecked at every version update.
- Operations teams keep their own files because changes to the system take too long.
- The partner who set it up is the only one who can change it.
Sage 300 compared with a system you own
| Sage 300 | 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 300

Is this about Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate?
No. Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate is a separate Sage product. This page covers Sage 300, the ERP formerly called Accpac. Ask an expert if you run the construction product.
