June 11 2024 - 8:00AM
Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll
technology for small and mid-sized businesses today launches Sage
Distribution and Manufacturing Operations (SDMO) in the United
States and South Africa. SDMO provides complete visibility and
control of the purchasing, production, inventory, and sales
processes of small to mid-sized distributors and discrete
manufacturers, helping them drive efficiency, productivity, and
growth.
SDMO is designed specifically for the manufacturing and
distribution sectors and uses cloud-native technology to provide a
single dedicated place to manage operations and financials. It
helps organizations automate and smoothly manage complex tasks
using modern capabilities such as real-time materials resource
planning (MRP), dynamic work orders and digital calendars. SDMO
provides organizations with the adaptability and agility they need
to quickly plan for and respond to changes in demand and supply due
to market volatility and supply chain issues. By embedding industry
best practices, advanced multi-site inventory management, and
powerful reporting with industry-specific KPIs and dashboards, SDMO
helps reduce the noise, enabling companies to better understand
where to prioritize resources and support.
"Whether you are a smaller regional specialist manufacturer or a
growing multi-national midsized operation, access to real-time
information is crucial for effective decision-making in the
distribution and manufacturing sectors," says Rob Sinfield,
SVP Product at Sage. "SDMO provides the flexibility and
resilience needed to navigate volatile economic conditions,
simplifying complexities and enhancing operational efficiency. This
allows business leaders to adapt quickly and focus on
growth-driving areas. Whether integrated with Sage Intacct or used
as a standalone solution, SDMO promotes collaboration and
innovation, driving productivity, resilience, and growth for all
stakeholders."

transforming," says Joe Berg, Co-Owner, DJ Products,
Inc. "Now, at a pivotal moment in refining our operations,
the introduction of Sage SDMO has given us unparalleled visibility
into production tracking, scheduling, and costing, enabling us to
make informed decisions swiftly. It has revolutionized our ability
