LoriaLINK's most common application is the integration of Sage CRM with Sage 50 Accounts. This provides a powerful two-way synchronisation which makes accounting data accessible to Sage CRM users and enables the creation of new accounts, quotes and sales orders directly from within Sage CRM.

Integrating CRM with Accounts has many business benefits which have, for a long time, only been the privilege of larger firms who can buy into full ERP applications like Sage 200 or have the budget or internal resource to develop a solution to meet their own needs.

However, LoriaLINK now makes it possible for users of Sage 50 to easily integrate with Sage CRM with the following benefits:

  • Providing CRM users with visibility of customer order, invoice, delivery and pricing information.
  • Eliminating re-keying when creating new customer records and orders.
  • Streamlining the creation of quotes and orders in CRM by accessing product and price lists held in Sage 50.
  • Automated Invoice generation.
  • Improving customer service and sales forecasting.
  • Allowing better management visibility and reporting across financial and sales data.
  • Enabling 'at risk' reporting if customer purchase patterns change .
  • Ensuring that all relevant information is collected prior to accepting an order.

LoriaLINK can be deployed quickly to integrate Sage 50 with any on-premise Sage CRM system, (version 7.2 or later) with the following functionality:

  • Link companies or individuals (or any other entity) in CRM to a customer account in Sage 50.
    • Means that if you sell to people as well as companies then both can be linked directly from CRM to Sage 50 Accounts.
    • Support for other entities means that LoriaLINK enables things other than businesses and people to be linked as Sage 50 accounts. For instance, a facilities management company may want to track income and expenditure by individual building, or a vehicle leasing company may want to attribute costs by individual vehicle.
  • Synchronise a single version of Sage CRM with multiple companies in Sage 50.
    • Useful if you run more than one company in Sage 50 or have separate currency accounts.
    • Supports customer and supplier accounts.
  • Provides visibility of Order, Invoice and Despatch information in Sage CRM.
    • Gives sales people and others controlled access to accounting data without the need for a Sage 50 licence.
