How does the pricing work for subscription professional services?
Let’s start by defining two broad categories of Sage 100 bundles.
The first is the inventory management/sales/purchasing bundle that is also referred to as the distribution bundle. If your company has inventory of any kind and needs to manage it, this is the bundle for you. It is made up of the following modules:
General Ledger
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
Inventory Management
Sales Order
Purchase Order
Bank Reconciliation
Paperless Office
Visual Integrator
Custom Office
Crystal Reports
Payroll (optional)
Job Cost (optional)
Bill of Materials (optional)
Return Merchandise Authorization (optional)
The second is the manufacturing bundle. It includes all of the modules listed above and adds:
Bill of Materials
Return Merchandise Authorization
Operations Management (also known as JobOps)
For the distribution bundle, the pricing is:
$1,500 per month for a primary contact and one backup contact (in case the primary contact is on vacation or out sick)
$250 per month for each additional full-time contact
$250 per month extra if you are using the Job Cost module
$250 per month extra if you are using the Payroll module
For the manufacturing bundle, the pricing is:
$3,500 per month for a primary contact and one backup contact (in case the primary contact is on vacation or out sick)
$350 per month for each additional full-time contact
$250 per month extra if you are using the Payroll module
A 10% reduction in price is offered if you agree to ACH auto bank drafts
The subscription can be cancelled at any time with 30 days written notice
Examples*:
Your company uses the distribution bundle and you would like to have two full-time contacts, the price would be $1,500 + $250 for a total of $1,750
Your company uses the distribution bundle plus Job Cost and Payroll and you would like to have one full-time contact, the price would be $1,500 + $250 + $250 for a total of $2,000
Your company uses the manufacturing bundle and you would like to have three full-time contacts, the price would be $3,500 + $350 + $350 for a total of $4,200
*These are just examples. Companies are unique and you might be able to take advantage of different modules based on how the organization is run. Manufacturing = operations management and is not just for manufacturers.
