Sage 200 Construction

Sage 200 Construction streamlines processes between professional quantity surveyors, contractors, subcontractors and HMRC.  It contains three specialist modules being Contracts, Estimating and Day Works.

• Contracting features like subcontractor self-billing, client invoicing, sales and purchase retention tracking allows focus on building profits.
• The Estimating module simplifies the processing of tenders and quotations from enquiry register, through subcontract enquiry and comparison, to tender submission.
• The Day Works job costing module processes reactive maintenance/callout work from order receipt through to final invoice.
• Subcontractor control is improved giving access to multiple operations from one source.

Our Services

For Sage Construction projects we work with specialist partners to offer a full suite of Sage 200 services covering;

• Software Sales - Dayta Designs is a Sage Business Partner and is authorised to sell Sage 200 software modules.
• Project Scoping - working with the customer to match the needs of their business to the capabilities of the Sage 200 software.  This will result in the confirmation of which functionality should be implemented and where bespoke development needs exist, if any.  This will be documented in a fully priced project proposal document.
• Project Implementation - we have developed a tried and trusted implementation approach for Sage 200 projects, as follows;
  • Kick-Off Meeting - working with the customer we agree task responsibilities, the project timetable and staff training needs.
  • Data Migration Assessment & Testing - one of the first tasks in a Sage 200 implementation project is to define the ‘ease’ with which historic data can be migrated into the Sage environment.  Tackling this first allows the project team to make certain configuration decisions earlier than otherwise which can save time and project risk.  It also allows the customer to enact any data cleansing activity ahead of the need for the live data. If required, Dayta Designs can develop bespoke applications to help migrate data.
  • Sage Software Installation - the Sage 200 software is installed on a server and the administration configured, including setting up users.
  • Sage Software Configuration - working with the customer’s project team, we will configure the various elements of the Sage 200 software.  This stage typically takes 1-2 days, but varies greatly by complexity.
  • Bespoke Developments - if required, bespoke developments are undertaken in parallel to the Sage Software Configuration stage.
  • Key User Functionality Step-Through & Testing - once the main configuration settings have been implemented, key users are stepped-through the system functionality to ensure that the settings are correct and that no adverse  ’ripple’ consequences have been created.
  • End-User Training - users not involved in the implementation project are now trained using the final system configuration.
  • Live Data Migration - the live data from the historic system can now be migrated into the new Sage 200 environment by whatever means have been defined during the earlier assessment and testing phase.  The historic system is typically archived at this point and no longer used for live transactions, though it may still be required for reporting purposes.
  • Go Live - once the data is loaded and has been quality assured, the Sage 200 system can go live and be used for all future transactions. Dayta Designs project staff will be on customer site for the go live day.
  • Project Review Meeting - after about 3 months of live running the project team re-assemble to review its status.   System changes can be discussed and scheduled if needed.
• Telephone Support - once the Sage 200 system has gone live it will be fully supported by Dayta Designs through our comprehensive telephone support service.  The fee for the first 12 months of support is normally included in the project implementation pricing.
• Bespoke Development - Dayta Designs is a Development Partner of Sage and is approved to undertake bespoke software developments within the Sage 200 environment, whether we implemented the Sage 200 system or not.

• SAGE SUPPORT: Line 100, MMS & 200

  Our friendly telephone-based service covers everything from simple 'how to ...' questions right through to detailed configuration changes, system patches and even hardware/network support.

• SAGE DEVELOPMENT: Line 100, MMS & 200

  If you are frustrated by the way the Sage does (or doesn't do) a function or a report, then why not call us to chat through whether a bespoke development project would be sensible. We will give you honest advice about possible work-arounds before embarking on any coding. All of our developments are fully supported by our technical team.
