  • Tackle challenges within their business with apps
  • Automate time-consuming tasks
  • Free up valuable time and concentrate on running their business more efficiently
  • Use integrated solutions that offer real-time business insights
  • Make more informed decisions through AI and machine learning capabilities

Says Bensch: “The Sage Business Cloud Marketplace offers our customers access to our whole ecosystem, giving them easy access to tools and functionality that drive productivity and efficiency. It is also a strategic toolkit for Sage accountants and resellers wanting to help their customers increase their business performance.” 

Listed on the Sage Marketplace in South Africa are leading apps such as Stock2Shop’s eCommerce connectors, AutoEntry and Prophix.
