Is Your Budgeting Process Holding You Back?
For many businesses, Sage 100 remains a reliable and trusted ERP system, offering robust accounting and financial management capabilities. However, as a legacy system, it comes with inherent budgeting limitations that can create inefficiencies over time. While Sage 100 provides a strong foundation, its native budgeting tools may not meet the evolving needs of today’s finance teams—especially those looking for greater automation, real-time insights, and advanced forecasting.
Here are signs that your Sage 100 budgeting process needs an upgrade—and how Martus can help.
You’re Still Relying on Spreadsheets for Budgeting
If your budgeting process involves exporting data from Sage 100 into spreadsheets, making manual updates, and consolidating data manually, you’re wasting valuable time. Spreadsheets introduce version control issues, errors, and inefficiencies that slow down your financial planning.
Solution: Martus integrates directly with Sage 100 through our MartusEZ Connector, eliminating spreadsheet dependency by automating data synchronization and centralizing budgeting efforts in a collaborative platform.
Lack of Real-Time Financial Data for Decision-Making
Does your team struggle with delayed or outdated financial insights? If your budgeting process doesn’t allow for real-time reporting and scenario planning, it’s difficult to make informed decisions.
Solution: Martus syncs with Sage 100 to provide real-time financial data, ensuring that budgets, forecasts, and reports reflect the latest information instantly.
Budgeting Is Too Time-Consuming & Manual
If your finance team spends weeks or months preparing budgets due to cumbersome processes, that’s a red flag. Manually consolidating multiple budget versions and tracking approvals through email creates unnecessary bottlenecks.
Solution: Martus automates budget consolidation, approval workflows, and forecasting, significantly reducing budgeting cycle times while increasing accuracy.
You Can’t Run What-If Scenarios or Forecasting Models
Are you limited in your ability to model different financial scenarios? If your budgeting process doesn’t allow you to explore what-if scenarios, rolling forecasts, or predictive analytics, you’re missing a crucial aspect of financial planning.
Solution: With Martus, dynamic forecasting and scenario planning are built in, allowing you to model various financial situations and adapt strategies accordingly.
You’re Missing a Dedicated Personnel Budgeting Solution
Workforce costs are often the largest expense for an organization, yet many Sage 100 users lack the tools to effectively plan and manage personnel expenses. Without a structured approach to salary forecasting, benefits tracking, and real-time personnel cost analysis, organizations risk budget overruns and inaccurate workforce planning.
Solution: Martus’ Personnel Budgeting module offers a comprehensive suite of tools to manage and forecast workforce costs, including:
- Automatic salary calculations based on predefined rules
- Benefits tracking to account for total compensation costs
- Real-time workforce cost integration for accurate forecasting
