Sage Pounces On Real-Time Accounting

Small business accounting, payment and payroll firm Sage is jumping on the chance to hand its corporate customers real-time visibility. In an announcement made Wednesday (Dec. 9), Sage rolled out Sage Live, its accounting tool to link users into real-time information.

The cloud-based solution integrates CRM, accounting and financial data into a single portal and can connect to other third-party applications and APIs so businesses can organize and manage the financial data they need, the company said.

The solution is also compatible for smartphones and tablets, providing data visibility on the go.

“Businesses move quickly, and their successes lie in the decisions they make in the moments that matter,” stated Sage Executive Vice President of Global Product Marketing Antoine Henry. He added that the market today is experiencing “seismic technological change and digital invention,” meaning SMEs must stay on top of their financial data to remain competitive.

Sage Live is debuting on the Salesforce AppExchange, the company said.

This isn’t the only advancement Sage has made this season in small business accounting. The company unleashed Sage Payments at the Money20/20 event in October, a tool that allows SMEs to accept incoming payments and issue outgoing payments to suppliers and employees.

That solution, too, was built in an effort to hand small business owners greater control and visibility of their cash flow, Sage said. The payments that businesses can make can be directly integrated into their existing Sage accounting and payroll software, the firm added.
