The Sage 100 Fund Accounting Version 2013.4 upgrade introduces new features and functionality, including Sage Mobile, an application designed to support nonprofits with more time- and cost-efficiency. It is available to organizations currently using Sage 100 Fund Accounting.
“Integrating mobile technology into our nonprofit accounting software was a natural next step,” said Krista Endsley, General Manager, Sage Nonprofit Solutions. “With Sage Mobile, users have expanded accessibility and can gain greater productivity while cost effectively accessing integral accounting data and functions from offsite locations.”
Sage Mobile provides customers with an application to quickly perform key tasks, such as viewing account balances, approving requisitions or viewing detailed reports, among other functions. The app is available at the iTunes App Store and Google Play for smart phones and tablets.
“What I like best about Sage Mobile is that it unchains the system and puts information in your pocket,” said Jack Berezny, Controller, the Jewish Council for the Aging of Greater Washington. “The ability to go mobile opens the way for so many new applications by making the gathering of information portable while still allowing management control and oversight.”
In addition to the mobile app, the upgrade includes features designed to streamline communications, human resources and management functions.
“Increasingly, nonprofit organizations are turning to automation to meet the growing demand to reduce costs and manage key functions,” said Erin Shy, Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing. “This product upgrade includes many enhancements that simplify accounting and human resources tasks, plus improve time management and restriction compliance for nonprofit organizations.”
The upgrade includes an automated email communications feature, which allows users to send customers an up-to-the-minute statement of their account via email at any point in the billing cycle. Other enhancements have been made to bank reconciliation functionality and human resources tracking for holidays and employee certifications, among others.
