Real-time data you can act on 

When your production, sales, and finance data works together, you can see how each run is performing while there’s still time to respond. Datel's team sets up Sage to fit the way you manufacture, so every part of your operation comes together in one live view. That's the insight you need to run leaner, plan with confidence, and refine your processes with every cycle.

Stay in control of your operations 

Rising costs and tight margins leave no room for guesswork on the factory floor. Datel combines Sage technology with manufacturing expertise to give you a clearer view across your operation, helping you control costs, use capacity effectively and make better decisions as you grow. 

Selecting the right technology is one thing, being prepared for it is another.

Stephensons Case Study Image 2

“We used to be a business that managed by volume: the amount of product we shipped dictated the amount of work that needed to be done. Now, with the right technologies in place, we're managing by exceptions. It's only when things go wrong that there is an increase in workload, and that means that we can scale up far more efficiently.”

Lucy Bilbrough, Director of Supply Chain and Continuous Improvement, Stephenson Group

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Sage solution is right for manufacturing businesses?

The right Sage solution depends on how your operation works, the processes you need to manage and where you want to take the business. Sage X3 provides ERP capabilities across finance, supply chain and production, while Sage 200 brings core finance, stock and business management together. Sage Intacct is a dedicated financial management platform that can work alongside specialist operational systems.

Your Sage partner will help you find the best solution if you need extra guidance.

Can Sage integrate with shop floor data capture, MES, and other manufacturing systems?

Yes. Sage connects with shop-floor data capture, MES, machinery, and other specialist systems on your factory floor. It unifies the data from these systems with your finance and operations, giving everyone in your operation a single consistent picture.

How smoothly that data flows depends on your setup, but it tends to be more straightforward for batch-based production than for continuous lines. Datel handles the integration and works through the details with you before anything goes live.

What types of manufacturing businesses does Datel support?

Datel works across a wide range of manufacturers and is particularly strong in discrete, process, job shop, and batch production. Continuous and repetitive setups are more involved, mainly because of how and when data passes between the machines and the system. But we implement Sage solutions for these companies too. 

How does Sage give manufacturers visibility across the full production cycle?

Sage brings sales, operations, and finance data into one system. You can see inventory, production status, and machine use as work happens, without having to piece it together from separate systems after the fact. That means you spot where cost, time, or capacity is slipping while you can still do something about it.  

How long does a Sage implementation take for a manufacturing business?

Implementation time depends on your chosen solution and requirements. An experienced partner like Datel can get Sage 200 up and running in a matter of weeks, a standard Sage Intacct solution live in as little as eight weeks, and Sage X3 live in as little as four months

Whatever solution you choose, we plan the work in defined stages, so there are no surprises along the way.
