Their General Manager, David Grissom, recently sat down with our own Shaun Garrity to talk about his journey to warehouse automation with ScanForce and Sage 100. You can read the transcript below, or just click the play button to hear it in his own words.
As our team continues to grow with key, strategic hires, we are thrilled to announce the addition of Strategic Business Account Manager Errett Thomas to the ScanForce Sales Team! Errett will be working closely with many of our Sage business partners to help them identify needs their customers have around barcode scanning and mobile warehouse & sales automation and apply the appropriate ScanForce solutions to fit those needs.
In one of our most well-attended webinars in company history, we recently introduced our new solution to automate Sage Production Management for Sage 100cloud.
See our previous blog on the topic: Production Management Automation for Sage 100cloud is here!
In this 30-minute webinar, you'll hear from Timothy Harfield, head of Product Marketing for Sage 100cloud, on how Sage Production Management helps manufacturers achieve visibility into the production process.
ScanForce is once again bringing our best-in-class mobile solutions to the Sage 100cloud market!
This past year, Sage released the Sage Production Management module, a long-awaited update to the functionality previously housed in the Sage 100 Work Order module.
For nearly a decade, ScanForce has been a member of 90 Minds, a member-only community for ERP consultants and resellers. We get a lot of value out of this group because the majority of the members are our business partners who recommend our solutions.

Watching this clip made us feel even better than ever about the things we do for our customers because it illustrates one of the warehouse scourges that we battle daily: inefficient picking processes.
Did you know that there are a number of free tools that were previously only available as add-on purchases but now come "out of the box" with Sage 100cloud?

Most inventory-based businesses have some sort of item classification, but it tends to be relatively basic. We often see classification based on a basic cost analysis or how fast the item moves. These are helpful, but they become even more valuable when combined.
At Sage Summit in Atlanta this May, Sage rolled out the first release of its long-awaited Production Management module. This module replaces the legacy Work Order module and brings the functionality into the Sage 100 "framework", meaning its architecture is more consistent with the rest of the Sage 100 product.
