Richmond, B.C. (Jan. 22, 2018)—Sage (FTSE: SGE), the market leader in cloud business management solutions, and UPS (NYSE: UPS), a global leader in logistics, are offering small businesses a single, real-time source of customer and order data to simplify financial management and shipment processing with Sage Business Cloud.
Sage Business Cloud offers a cloud financial management solution, built on the Salesforce platform, to help businesses integrate accounting with shipping. With UPS as the only carrier integrated on the platform, small-to-medium sized businesses can leverage Sage Business Cloud to get ahead of competitors by gaining better insight into business profitability. The Sage Business Cloud integration with UPS is available for customers in the UK, US, and Canada with plans to expand in other major markets in 2018.
Helping small businesses provide their customers with more compelling services, UPS offers a free service that gives online shoppers more control over their residential deliveries. UPS will send an email or text message to consumers the day before their scheduled delivery with options to reschedule or reroute the package to their office, a neighbor or to a nearby UPS Access Point location. Opening further UPS access points in local small businesses, such as neighborhood grocery stores, dry cleaners and mobile phone stores, helps support small businesses by increasing footfall. There are more than 27,000 UPS Access Point locations around the world.
With UPS shipping solutions integrated directly within Sage Financials, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) can send the right products to the right customer, at the right price, when and where they want to. SMEs will also receive competitive UPS domestic and international rates. Benefits of the Sage and UPS integration include:
