Make Sage 200 Work for You
Sage 200 consists of several integrated modules designed to help you run your business smoothly and efficiently.

It is an online-only based solution so for organisations looking to manage their accounts online, with the ability to access company data from anywhere, at any time, this version is a great fit.
Sage 200 Standard has a core set of features and modules, that include:
- Financials
- Payments
- Commercials

- Some Marketplace additions/add-ons
Compared to Sage 200 Professional, which boasts more modules and enhanced functionality within the core modules too, including:

Apply authorisation limits and alerts to keep orders moving while you’re busy. Easily raise purchase requisitions, authorise, and generate orders online, so your business is always on.
Easily reject unexpected or incorrect deliveries, highlighting any discrepancies with invoices and allow for costs that are already committed.
