Global ERP System

The whole concept of enterprise resource planning (ERP) originated in the large industrial types of companies to simplify processes and workflow.  Today, ERP is available to a wide range of companies of all types and sizes that do business globally. If your organization has multiple sites, complex multi-national and multi-company requirements and the need to standardize worldwide operations, you need a global ERP system. Global ERP systems are comprehensive and serve a variety of business functions including manufacturing, order-entry, accounting, purchasing, warehouse management, transportation, human resources and more. Sage Software’s global ERP solutions can help businesses adjust for multiple currencies and exchange rates, taxation and legal compliance at the local level with region and global business consolidation and roll-up.

Sage software allows U.S. companies operating in Latin America and the Caribbean to follow GAAP rules as well as localization requirements in each country and allow merging of data to provide consolidated financials and give executives a bird’s eye view of entire company. The built-in Business Insights provides single-click access to analytical tools to view the organization’s overall performance and puts this data at your fingertips.

Powerful Solutions at a Fraction of the Cost

The only ERP solutions available to Caribbean, Central American and South American companies have been small entry-level solutions   or very large tier-one applications (i.e. Oracle, SAP), creating a  gap in  levels of sophistication and functionality.

Growing companies in these regions no longer have to leap between entry-level packages to million dollar solutions. Sage Software has a feature-rich mid market system designed to meet the needs of clients of all sizes. Specifically, Sage ERP MAS 500 which is now available in Spanish.

Whether the needs are strictly accounting, distribution, manufacturing or a combination of them, Sage Software can meet the needs along with keeping a focus on each country and its unique localization requirements.

Quick Implementation

Southeast Computer Solutions (SCS) has over 25 years of experience in implementing ERP solutions for a wide breadth of clients in different industries. SCS specializes in Sage Software implementations outside the U.S. including countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile and other countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. With over 600 implementations, SCS has the ability to have companies up and running on the system in 3-6 months rather than the typical tier-one solution where   implementations may take up to and beyond a year.

Southeast Computer Solutions’ has local consultants in Central and South America that are available to perform on-site implementations to facilitate the process. These experts understand the localization requirements and culture in these regions which smoothes the process and makes for a painless transition.

Multilingual Support

Our consultants and support staff in the US and Latin America are multilingual (English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian). This means companies will have ongoing support personnel that are able l to assist the end-users once the system is live as well as communicate to persons throughout the organization. Our staff can serve as liaisons between Sage Software tech support and the end-user to ensure nothing ends up lost in translation.

Companies that have U.S. based headquarters with subsidiaries in Latin America can also enjoy the benefits of our multilingual staff to effectively and efficiently communicate to managers and end-users in their native tongue. Often time operations and financial lingo cannot be directly translated so having a multilingual team to help is essential.

Localization

Our team has spent countless hours working with prestigious auditing companies (Deloitte) as well as local tax auditors to ensure Sage Software products are compatible with laws specific to each country.

SCS has developed numerous features to enhance Sage ERP MAS 500’s capabilities including:

• Payables retentions management (Retenciones)
• Electronic invoicing
• Payment authorization form (Orden de Pago)
• Cash receipt authorizations (Receibo de Cobro)
• Advanced Payments (Anticipos con retencion)

• Reporting (Libros de Ventas y Libros de Compra)
• Electronic Filing
• Electronic Update of Vendor Retention Percentage (Padron de Riesgo)
• Vendor/Customer Long Name
• Capture government controlled invoice numbers
• Generate Legal Invoice Number for Vendors (Soporte de numero de factures locales)

Many of these features are foreign to U.S. based accounting applications that SCS has developed for the Latin American market.
