You’ve run your weekly reports only to discover that you’re out of stock on your best selling item, your biggest customer didn’t place his regular order, and you’ve lost hundreds by missing the discount date of a big accounts payable invoice.

If you were running Business Alerts for Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200, you could have received an email in advance of all of these events—giving you time to reorder stock, call that customer, and pay that invoice.

The premise of this module is simple; generate an automatic email message whenever a certain criterion is met. Its express purpose is to monitor the pulse of your company and automatically notify you, your staff, your customers, and vendors when important events take place. This innovative product uses your existing email system to alert you of significant events happening within your company’s accounting database.

You can create new alerts or customize one of the many existing alerts to fit your company’s needs. Alerts are possible within Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Purchase Order, Sales Order, and Job Cost. Alerts can also be configured to include pertinent data; for example, you can send your customer an email when an invoice is created and include the ship date, invoice number, and invoice amount. How’s that for proactive? Use Alerts to keep employees informed for better decision-making or improve customer service by giving your customers personalized attention with each transaction. It can even send automated responses to vendors. Business Alerts allows your business to respond to rapidly changing business conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Business Alerts is like having a proactive assistant on your staff, constantly monitoring corporate activities as they transpire, and notifying you immediately of the events you care about. Everyone could use an assistant like this.
