Sage 300c vs Sage Inventory Advisor Basics

Now Includes Sage Inventory Advisor “Basics” at No Charge

It was recently announced that Sage Inventory Advisor Basics is now included with select Sage 300c bundles at no additional cost. Read on to learn about this enhancement to Sage 300c and what it means for inventory management.

What Is Sage Inventory Advisor Basics?

By now, you’ve probably heard about the Sage Inventory Advisor add‐on – a cloud‐based inventory optimization tool that works hand in hand with your Sage 300 software. The newer “Basics” product is based on the “full” Sage Inventory Advisor suite, but without:
  • Support for Bill of Materials
  • Central Warehouse Consolidation
  • Ability to Import Order Forecasts into Sage ERP
In short, it’s a light version of the product that focuses on the most common inventory challenges while removing some of the complexity of more advanced functionality in Sage Inventory Advisor that not every company needs or uses. At the same time, it makes the product easier to im‐ plement, understand, and start benefiting from right away.

How is It Different Than the Core Inventory Module?

The core inventory functionality in Sage 300c is focused on processing and managing transactions. From there, Sage Inventory Advisor Basics then leverages that transactional data to help you make more informed decisions about how much inventory to stock, when to buy more, and many other strategic insights that the core inventory functionality isn’t capable of. In short, they complement each other.
