Sage BusinessVision™ is a popular, sophisticated accounting and business management package designed for small to medium-sized organizations. It is an affordable solution, full of innovative features, productivity-enhancing benefits, and a range of customization options.

Real-Time Business Data

Sage BusinessVision allows you to view up-to-the-minute information at any time, facilitating better decision-making and control. Information for customers, vendors, orders, inventory, receivables, payables, job-cost, payroll, sales analysis, purchase analysis, budgeting, and the General Ledger is available for virtually any time period you desire.
The powerful AutoPost feature of BusinessVision will adjust stock levels, sales statistics, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the general ledger (Sales, Costs) whenever a transaction occurs, so that information is always current.

Customizable and Scalable

Sage BusinessVision is a tiered product and scales to accommodate from 1 to 100+ users. There is no need to change accounting systems or retrain staff, which makes BusinessVision a natural choice for expanding businesses.
BusinessVision enables you to adapt the system to fit your unique business requirements. You can print to standard business forms, adjust the terminology to suit your type of business, and more. The versatile BusinessVision CustomPack add-on tool allows you to add up to 50 additional fields per module.

Seamless Integration with Microsoft Office

Seamlessly integrated, BusinessVision enables you to easily publish financial reports in Microsoft Word, analyze financial reports in Microsoft Excel, or populate a Microsoft Access database.

Security and Access Control

User log-on is password protected. In addition, each module has a comprehensive set of access permissions that may be turned on/off for each user. This capability may be used to define user roles precisely within your organization, and restrict access to include only those capabilities appropriate for each functional area.

Multi-Currency Manager

The Sage BusinessVision Multiple Currency Manager is an add-on module that allows you to work with bank accounts, customers, and vendors in foreign currencies. BusinessVision translates all amounts into your base currency and keeps the base accurate in terms of currency fluctuation. The system handles all conversions and translations using the powerful AutoPost feature, and calculates foreign currency gains and losses automatically. You can revalue unrealized gains and losses on demand, either retroactively or currently, permitting the backdating and adjustment of balance sheets and financial statements after the fact.
The system displays the appropriate currency symbol and date format for each currency on invoices, checks, and other output.

Report Suite

Sage BusinessVision includes a predefined set of reports for each module, which should satisfy the most common business requirements. However, for exceptional cases, customized reports can be designed using a version of Crystal Reports, which is included with the product.

Sage e-BusinessVision

Sage e-BusinessVision is a unique e-commerce add-on solution that offers the ability to expand your operations to the Internet. Sage e-BusinessVision provides a fully integrated Web store and shopping cart solution that is linked to your existing Web site, allowing your customers to learn more about your company, place orders, view the status of their existing orders, and research their account information. It also enables anyone with an Internet connection to visit your Web site and place orders.
