Sage X3

Sage X3 is an enterprise resource planning platform for product-focused organizations. It combines financial management, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, inventory and business intelligence capabilities.

The system supports multi-company, multi-site, multi-currency, multi-language and multi-legislation operations. Sage offers cloud, private-cloud and on-premises deployment options, depending on regional availability and implementation requirements.

Sage positions X3 for manufacturing, distribution, chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and professional services organizations. It is designed for businesses that require more specialized operational controls than general-purpose accounting systems provide.

Sage X3 includes financial management tools for general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, cost accounting, budgets, fixed assets and financial reporting.

Manufacturing capabilities cover production planning, work orders, bills of materials, material requirements planning, scheduling, shop-floor control and production costing. Process manufacturing deployments can also support formulas, recipe management and batch traceability.

Supply chain and distribution functions include purchasing, sales orders, inventory control, warehouse operations, replenishment, shipment preparation, lot tracking, serial tracking and quality controls.

The platform supports business intelligence through Sage Enterprise Intelligence and related analytics products. Sage Marketplace and partner solutions extend the system with specialist functionality, including electronic data interchange, financial planning, commerce, field sales and logistics integrations.

Sage X3 uses quote-based pricing. Public pricing pages do not list a standard subscription price, per-user rate or fixed implementation fee.

Capterra lists one custom-quote plan and reports that a free trial is not available. Final costs can vary with deployment model, user counts, modules, geographic requirements, implementation services, support and partner extensions.
