Sage 100 C Benefits

If you’re in the construction management business, then Sage 100 C offers all kinds of unique benefits that Quickbooks fails to offer. This is all due to the fact that Sage has chosen to focus in on this industry.

Quickbooks, on the other hand, tries to be a catch-all solution.

If you’ve ever tried to use a catch-all solution before switching to something that’s tailor-made to your needs, you’ve likely realized before that it is hard to beat something that was created just for you and what you do.

This is the best benefit that Sage 100 Contractor offers – the ability to axe the features you don’t need and expound on those you do.

Quickbooks Benefits

If your business is outside of the construction industry or if you’re just starting out, Quickbooks may be a reasonable solution for you at this point.

Quickbooks offers a simple solution that fulfills all of the basic needs that any business would have in terms of accounting and expense management.

While Quickbooks can be outmatched when it comes to specific niches, such as construction management, the software can be a great solution depending on where you’re at in your business.

In fact, many of our customers started out using Quickbooks and grew to the point that they had a need for Sage 100 Contractor.
