Sage 100 Contractor review

Sage 100 Contractor is Sage's out-of-the-box system for small to mid-sized contractors, covering construction and service management in one product. Sage's product page highlights access to job cost and project details through customizable dashboards and industry-specific reports, and integrated estimating that exports budgets, proposals, subcontracts and purchase orders without retyping. Sage positions it as the step up from QuickBooks and Sage 50 and offers a comparison chart against QuickBooks. Add-ons include Sage Paperless Construction for documents and Sage Estimating, and Sage Business Care plans provide support. Training runs through Sage University, and there is an active community hub. The public product page gives little detail on retainage, AIA billing or certified payroll, and Sage does not publish US prices, so ask for a demo of your billing and payroll workflows and a full quote with support before you compare it with FOUNDATION or ComputerEase.
