Bridging the Manufacturing Gap in Sage 300 with AutoSimply

Making Sage 300 Work Smarter for Manufacturing: Why AutoSimply Matters

For manufacturers running Sage 300, managing production outside the system often becomes a bottleneck — with spreadsheets, disconnected processes, and inconsistent data getting in the way of efficiency. AutoSimply changes that.

By extending Sage 300 with practical, integrated manufacturing tools, AutoSimply gives businesses full control over production operations — all within the environment they already know and trust. At Astech, we’ve helped manufacturing clients use AutoSimply to streamline planning, simplify material control, and improve cost visibility across their operations.

Closing the Gap Between Planning and Production

Sage 300 excels at managing finance, procurement, and inventory. But for manufacturers, the missing piece has often been production itself. AutoSimply fills that gap with tools that bring structure to manufacturing orders, BOMs, resource planning, and shop floor activity — fully embedded within Sage 300.

This means no more fragmented data, manual re-entry, or guesswork. Production becomes a connected part of your ERP, not an isolated workflow.

What AutoSimply Delivers in Practice

AutoSimply covers the key areas manufacturing businesses need to stay efficient and competitive:

Manufacturing Order Control

Create, manage, and track production orders from start to finish. See what’s in progress, what’s completed, and what materials have been issued — with full audit trails and live status updates.

Bill of Materials Management

Maintain clear, accurate multi-level BOMs. AutoSimply supports version control, sub-assemblies, and cost roll-ups, making it easy to manage product structures as they evolve.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

Move from reactive to proactive planning. AutoSimply analyses stock levels, lead times, and demand to suggest timely production and purchase orders — helping reduce shortages and avoid overstocking.

Inventory Integration and Cost Tracking

Every stock movement during production is captured in real time. Labour and overhead costs can be recorded against work orders, delivering more accurate job costing and improved margin analysis.

Real Business Benefits

AutoSimply doesn’t just add features — it simplifies day-to-day manufacturing operations and delivers measurable results:

  • Improved visibility: Teams have real-time insight into production progress, resource usage, and material availability.
  • More accurate costing: Capture actual labour and material use directly, for better control over profitability.
  • Better planning: MRP tools ensure materials are available when needed, reducing delays and unplanned downtime.
  • Streamlined operations: All production activity sits within Sage 300, reducing duplication and improving consistency across teams.
