Looking for a Sage 100 alternative built for modern B2B wholesale?
Sage 100 is trusted by many distribution, manufacturing and inventory-led businesses. It is a solid back-office system that covers finance, inventory management, purchasing, sales orders, warehouse operations, barcode workflows, returns and reporting.
Yet, for B2B wholesale, back-office operations are only one piece of the puzzle. Simplisales helps wholesalers connect sales, stock, customers, fulfilment and B2B ecommerce in one modern wholesale platform.
Simplisales vs Sage 100 at a glance
Why wholesalers choose Simplisales with Sage 100
- 1
Simplisales is built around B2B customer ordering
Sage 100 specialises in ERP, inventory, procurement, sales orders, and financials. Simplisales focuses on how distributors actually sell to customers. Customers can order via a branded e-commerce storefront or mobile app, see the right products and prices for their account, order fast and easily reorder, reducing the need for calls, emails and manual orders.

Simplisales gives customers a modern buying experience
Most wholesalers rely on traditional order channels such as phone, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, PDFs, and sales reps. Simplisales turns it into a cleaner digital experience. Customers can browse products, place orders, access account-specific pricing and use self-service ordering without losing the personal B2B relationship your business already has with them.

Simplisales supports customer-specific wholesale rules
In reality, wholesale doesn’t work with one public catalogue and one public price. Simplisales allows you to define how your wholesale works, which is a game-changer for wholesale businesses selling different products, pack sizes, or price points to restaurants, retailers, caterers, convenience stores, and trade customers.
- Customer-specific price lists
- Account-based catalogues
- Payment terms
- Balance limits
- Assigned warehouses
- Sales team ownership

Simplisales reduces manual order entry
Simplisales decreases the necessity for manual order entry. While Sage can handle sales orders, many wholesalers still need to manually enter orders before they become clean records in the system. Simplisales helps convert WhatsApp messages, PDFs, images, and spreadsheets into draft orders with AI-powered order capture. This allows your staff to handle orders more quickly, make fewer errors, and avoid spending a great deal of time re-entering product codes and quantities.

Simplisales extends Sage 100 with ready-to-use ecommerce
While Sage 100 can be a fantastic operational and ERP backbone, it's not a ready-to-use B2B ecommerce system. Simplisales is the missing piece of the puzzle for a lot of wholesalers, tacking on the exact additional layer of functionality you would need from a standalone B2B ecommerce app: a branded app, a branded ordering website, account-specific product ordering, product visibility configurations, customer reordering, and sales rep visibility. So instead of trying to force Sage 100 to become your customer-facing ordering experience, Simplisales can handle that layer more naturally.
