Should You Migrate QuickBooks to Sage? Lessons from a Company That Upgraded Their Entire Accounting System
Overview
When Guier Fence decided to migrate from Sage to QuickBooks, they were stuck with a legacy accounting system that wasn’t working for them. Their previous system Sage 100 lacked usability and adequate documentation. That led to major problems, including negative inventory on hand of $300,000.
When the longtime company accountant left and the replacement lacked Sage experience, Guier Fence knew it was time to change. They reached out to Fourlane to learn what it would take to migrate Sage to QuickBooks.
Solution
Fourlane began with a discovery process to map Guier’s needs. Once the plan was in place, the implementation moved fast. Guier switched from Sage to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, including a new inventory and payroll system. The change simplified accounting, eliminated duplicate state tax payments, and delivered immediate cost savings.
Results
Thanks to the migration from Sage to QuickBooks, Guier Fence now enjoys cleaner books, accurate inventory tracking, and fewer payroll headaches. QuickBooks Enterprise enables the team to focus on business growth and customer service instead of dealing with accounting problems.
“With Fourlane, we made the right decision to help us get where we needed to go, and felt we were both part of each other’s team. Fourlane figured out a solution that would help us operate more smoothly for the long term” – Raymond Brown, General Manager and COO, Guier Fence
