Sage X3 ERP software
Sage X3 is a flexible, scalable, AI-powered ERP solution built for manufacturers, distributors, and product-centric organizations with complex operations. Connect financial management, manufacturing, inventory, purchasing, sales, and supply chain processes in one system with built-in AI capabilities that help improve visibility, automate work, and support faster decision-making. Through our partnership with xkzero, Rand Group helps organizations evaluate, implement, optimize, and extend Sage X3 with specialized expertise in manufacturing and distribution.

What does Sage X3 do?

Manage complex manufacturing operations
Sage X3 supports discrete, process, and mixed-mode manufacturing, giving organizations the flexibility to manage different production requirements within one ERP platform. Manufacturers can manage production planning, bills of materials (BOM), work orders, shop floor activities, costing, quality management, and lot and batch traceability from planning through production.
For manufacturers operating across multiple facilities, Sage X3 also helps coordinate production, inventory, and resources across sites. This connected approach provides greater visibility into manufacturing operations while helping teams manage quality, costs, materials, and production requirements more effectively.

Connect supply chain and distribution processes
Sage X3 connects purchasing, inventory, sales, warehousing, fulfillment, and logistics to provide greater visibility across the movement of goods. Organizations can manage procurement and suppliers, inventory, sales orders, demand planning, warehouse activities, fulfillment, and multi-site inventory within a connected system.
By bringing these processes together, manufacturers and distributors can better coordinate supply and demand, understand inventory across locations, and manage increasingly complex supply chain and distribution requirements.

Improve visibility with reporting and business intelligence
Sage X3 brings financial and operational data together to give teams greater visibility across manufacturing, inventory, supply chain, sales, and other areas of the business. Reporting, dashboards, analytics, and business intelligence tools help users monitor performance and turn connected ERP data into actionable information.
With information available across business functions and locations, decision-makers can more easily identify trends, monitor key performance indicators, investigate exceptions, and make informed decisions using a more complete view of the organization.

Manage multi-site and multi-entity operations
Sage X3 is designed to support organizations as their operational and financial structures become more complex. Businesses can manage multiple sites, companies, and entities within a connected ERP environment, with support for multiple countries, currencies, and legislation.
These capabilities allow organizations to maintain broader visibility across the business while supporting the requirements of individual entities and locations. As companies expand into new markets, add locations, or grow through acquisition, Sage X3 can provide the ERP foundation needed to manage that increased complexity.

Adapt and integrate Sage X3 around your business
Sage X3 provides the flexibility to configure and extend the ERP around an organization’s processes and requirements. Configurable workflows, screens, and business rules allow organizations to adapt the user experience and processes, while APIs and integration capabilities connect Sage X3 with other applications and technologies.
Through Rand Group’s partnership with xkzero, organizations can also access specialized Sage X3 development and integration expertise. This provides additional flexibility for businesses that need custom functionality, integrations, or extensions to support requirements beyond standard ERP configuration.

Extend Sage X3 to mobile and field operations
Sage X3 can be extended beyond traditional ERP processes to connect employees and operations in the field. Through xkzero’s Sage X3 expertise and integrated solutions, organizations can support mobile sales, Direct Store Delivery (DSD), delivery automation, warehouse technology, ecommerce, and other operational requirements.
xkzero Mobile Commerce (XMC), for example, integrates with Sage X3 to extend ERP information to mobile sales and delivery operations. This can help organizations connect field activity with the business information managed in Sage X3 and create more consistent processes from the back office to employees working in the field.

Work smarter with Sage AI and Sage Copilot
Sage X3 brings AI directly into ERP workflows through Sage AI and Sage Copilot, helping teams turn operational data into timely insights and action. Sage Copilot provides conversational interaction and real-time alerts to help users identify delays, exceptions, risks, and opportunities across finance, supply chain, and production.
AI-powered automation can also reduce manual work across high-volume processes such as invoice handling and data capture, helping teams work more efficiently while maintaining visibility and control.
Flexible Sage X3 deployment and licensing
Sage X3 licensing and pricing are based on your organization’s functionality, user access, deployment, and implementation requirements. This flexible approach allows businesses to configure Sage X3 around their operational needs while supporting future growth and complexity.
Base package

Implementation & services
