Discover Why Manufacturers Choose Sage for Their Business
Sage has been supporting UK manufacturers for decades and there’s a reason so many businesses continue to rely on it. It’s not just any software, Sage have built their solutions with manufacturers in mind.
In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, having the right tools in place can make all the difference. That’s where Sage 200 comes in, and its powerful manufacturing add-ons: Sicon Manufacturing and Cim200 Manufacturing.
Let’s take a closer look at why manufacturers keep coming back to Sage.
Sicon Manufacturing for Sage 200
In early 2020, Sage announced its partnership with Sicon, naming Sicon Manufacturing as the preferred production software for Sage 200 moving forward, and it’s easy to see why.
Sicon Manufacturing is a set of production control modules for Sage 200. Unlike the legacy Sage offering, the Sicon Manufacturing suite is a group of optional modules, meaning you have the flexibility to choose only the tools your business needs.
Key Benefits of Sicon Manufacturing
Tailored Functionality
Being a modular suite means you can choose and customise the features that suit your manufacturing business. Whether you need basic stock control or full production management, you build the system around your specific needs and only pay for what you need.
Enhanced Works Order Processing
The Works Order Processing module integrates with Sage 200’s BOM and Stock Control, simplifying stock allocation. It’s ideal for manufacturers who want a more efficient way to manage production without overcomplicating things.
Real-Time Data Visibility
Access to centralised data within Sage 200 enables you to make better informed decisions. This data visibility and cost analysis from demand to creation ensures you can control and monitor costs, which can help improve profitability.
Cim200 Manufacturing
Cim200 Manufacturing is an alternative Sage certified add-on which works in harmony with Sage 200 to streamline your stock control, production, planning and more. In the manufacturing industry where change is constant, Cim200 allows you to control every element of your manufacturing process.
This powerful manufacturing solution, designed for SME’s, is a suite of modules which include Stock Control, Bill of Materials, Works Order, Planning, Commercials, Shop Floor Data Capture, and Graphical Scheduling.
Key Benefits of Cim200 Manufacturing
Flexibility
In production, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why Cim200 Manufacturing’s Bill of Materials module has multiple routes and analysis codes, meaning you can mix and match based on your business needs.
Full Visibility
With Cim200 Manufacturing, say goodbye to manually monitoring orders. The order lines allow you to generate order lines for stock items, based on quantity and time requirements (such as daily, weekly or monthly).

Cim200 Manufacturing has been developed using 120+ years of industry-leading manufacturing experience and is continuously being evolved and improved. Additionally, there is a ‘wish list’ where customers can submit development requests for the solution.
