Below highlights the key reasons why organizations are migrating to Sage Intacct Construction:
Sage 100 Contractor vs. Sage Intacct Construction
When deciding on the right financial software for your organization, there are many factors to consider. Sage 100 Contractor and Sage Intacct Construction are both ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and accounting- focused platforms. However, Sage Intacct Construction is a cloud-based solution primarily focused for organizations that are growing and require advanced features and scalability. While Sage 100 Contractor is primarily an on-premises solution that has the ability to support smaller to mid-size organizations.
Why Organizations Are Migrating to Sage Intacct Construction
Both Sage 100 Contractor and Sage Intacct Construction are trusted software options, however many organizations are migrating from Sage 100 Contractor to Sage Intacct Construction. The key benefits of moving to a more robust solution include:
Strong General Accounting Functions
Sage Intacct Construction’s general accounting functions offer enhanced capabilities compared to Sage 100 Contractor. The platform has a robust general ledger module with advanced functionalities that help simplify complex accounting processes. It supports real-time posting and instant visibility into financial transactions, ensuring accurate and up to date financial records. The software also offers flexible journal entry capabilities, allowing users to easily create, edit, and reverse journal entries.
Bank reconciliation is a critical accounting process that ensures the accuracy of financial records. Sage Intacct Construction provides enhanced bank reconciliation features, making the process more efficient and accurate. The software supports automated bank feeds, allowing transactions to be imported directly from financial institutions. This streamlines the reconciliation process, reduces manual data entry, and minimizes the risk of errors.
Advanced Reporting

The platform allows organizations to create comprehensive financial reports within the system- offering flexible report templates, dashboards, and financial statements that can be customized to meet specific reporting requirements.

This can help improve data accuracy and consistency across systems and eliminate the need for manual data entry. By integrating key systems, you can see real-time information and make more informed business decisions.
Open APIs can also help to automate business processes and workflows. This could involve triggering actions based on specific events and conditions, such as creating a journal entry or adjustment, automating invoice approvals, generating and sending invoices, and streamlining other accounting and financial processes.
Power of the Cloud
