Sage has announced the launch of end-to-end cloud-native packages designed to meet the needs of submarkets within the construction industry. The new packages: Sage for Real Estate Developers, Sage for Home Builders, and Sage for General Contractors, are built to address the respective challenges faced by real estate developers, home builders, and general contractors.
“Sage has decades of experience serving businesses across all sectors of the construction and real estate industry, so we understand their unique software needs. GCs require different tools to run their business compared to a home builder or real estate developer,” said Julie Adams, Senior Vice President, Construction and Real Estate, Sage. “Our construction packages bring together the must-have solutions for each submarket, ensuring that they’re bases are covered from preconstruction to operations and finance, all built on the power and flexibility of a cloud-native platform.”
The submarket packages include Sage Intacct’s powerful finance and operations solution at their core:
- Construction Financials: Built specifically for construction, Sage Intacct Construction gives teams total visibility into the health of their projects and business. It helps mitigate escalating construction costs and keeps projects on target with robust budgeting tools, real-time cost tracking, and insights into job costs, change orders, invoices, and more.
- Construction Management: End-to-end construction operations software that streamlines workflows, enhances team collaboration, and optimizes resource allocation across projects. Sage Construction Management is built for collaboration and mobility, with access to the platform anytime and from any device. Plus, teams can create customized reports showing items like labor, materials, and work-in-progress.
Each package includes additional solutions that are tailored to the demands of that submarket. The cloud packages are built on a multi-tenant, true-cloud foundation, delivering automatic updates so teams are always on the latest version. With an open platform and robust partner ecosystem, Sage provides customers with the power of choice – the flexibility to choose the right mix of Sage and partner-provided solutions optimal for the business today and can flexibly scale and adapt with the business as needs change.
How Sage Construction Packages help customers
Retail Property Group, a commercial real estate company based in Boca Raton, Fl., needed a new, cloud-based solution that could help streamline workflows and deliver real-time access to their data. The team turned to Sage and experienced immediate time savings.
“I would say without question, hours every single day are now productive because we are not waiting on the server-based system. It’s a night and day difference; I was shocked,” said John Jenkins, CFO, Retail Property Group. “I’m very pleased with where we’re at and optimistic about where we’re going to be, and I don’t think we would be anywhere near that without our Sage solutions.”
In addition to these newly launched packages, Sage also offers Sage for Specialty Contractors, a cloud package that manages all phases of construction and field services, and Sage for Construction Essentials, an entry-level cloud package for smaller companies within any construction sector.
The Sage construction packages are available now from authorized Sage resellers, the largest and most experienced partner network in the industry.
