One of the strengths of Sage 300 is the massive ecosystem of integrated add-ons that can extend the capabilities of your software. When “out of the box” features don’t provide everything you need, Sage Add-ons Marketplace might be the answer.
In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at a few popular options.
