Construction Firm Turns from Chaos to Clarity for Lasting Success with Sage ERP Solutions

Thriveon Client Story

About Fractional CIO Services

Transforming Sage from Frustration to Efficiency and Cost Savings

A construction company was deeply frustrated with their current Sage consultant, who continually informed them that necessary changes couldn't be made to optimize Sage for their multifaceted needs. Beyond accounting, Sage served critical functions like timesheets, payroll, project management, CRM, reporting, estimating and Timberscan.

However, the system was plagued with sluggish performance and daily issues. Plus, the looming dread of updates threatened staff morale every fall, as the team was told little could be done to fix it.

This uncertainty, combined with a lack of IT strategy and guidance, kept leadership awake at night.

Sage Consultant Search and Transformation

After the construction company teamed up with Thriveon, our Fractional CIO was determined to resolve these pressing issues. With meticulous effort, we scoured thousands of Sage consultants nationwide, seeking the perfect match who could make the necessary changes. After rigorous vetting, we found a new Sage consultant that optimized their Sage 300 platform. This expert swiftly tackled the challenges: cleaning up the system, implementing crucial updates, developing custom reports and performing database optimizations that significantly reduced bloat, all while remaining remarkably cost-effective.

A New Reality with Sage

  • Sage system cleaned up and optimized
  • Custom reports tailored to specific needs

  • Cost savings achieved without compromising quality

Thanks to our Fractional CIO's intervention, our client now enjoys peaceful nights, knowing Sage operates at peak efficiency.
