- Cost Under ControlSage 300 licence, maintenance and Sage Business Partner fees growing faster than the business justifies
- Complexity RemovedOn-premise Sage 300 server, SQL upgrades and aging Windows infrastructure consuming IT time every year
- Every Year PreservedGL history, multi-currency intercompany and field-ops job records at risk in a rushed or under-planned move
- Industry Vertical AwareMining, field-service, distribution and manufacturing modules in Sage 300 need a target platform that matches them
- Right Target ChosenConfusion between Business Central, NetSuite, MYOB and Xero as the Sage 300 replacement for your specific operation
Six Sage 300 migration capabilities
From the first Sage 300 schema extract through reconciliation against your last EOFY, to the cutover landed on a clean financial boundary with field-operations and mining-module configuration validated by your domain users — built so your finance and operations teams trust the new system from day one.
-
Sage 300 → Business Central
The most common target for mid-market Sage 300 customers. Dynamics 365 Business Central covers financials, inventory, manufacturing and field-service natively. Chart of accounts migrated to BC dimensions, AR/AP open items and multi-currency history preserved, field-service module re-configured in BC Field Service. Lower TCO than Sage 300, still Microsoft ecosystem.
- Sage 300 COA → BC dimensions
- AR / AP history & open items
- BC Field Service for field-ops workloads
-
Sage 300 → NetSuite
Preferred path when the parent group is already on NetSuite OneWorld or wants full independence from on-premise infrastructure. Multi-subsidiary, multi-currency, advanced manufacturing and mining-sector workflows migrate to NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing and NetSuite Field Service Management. Sage 300 customisations re-built as SuiteScript.
- Multi-subsidiary NetSuite OneWorld
- Advanced manufacturing & mining modules
- Sage 300 customisations → SuiteScript
-
Sage 300 → MYOB / Xero
Right-size path for businesses where Sage 300 was over-scoped from the start, or where the operation has simplified. Core financials migrate to MYOB AccountRight or Xero; inventory and job-costing handled by a connected app (Cin7, Unleashed, Simpro) or built custom. Common for smaller AU operations that no longer need full mid-market ERP.
- Core financials → MYOB or Xero
- Connected inventory or job-costing app
- Custom build if needed
-
Data Migration & Reconciliation
Every Sage 300 module extracted with row-by-row reconciliation. GL transactions, AR/AP detail, customers, vendors, items, BOM, inventory, multi-currency intercompany, fixed assets, project and job-costing history. Numbers reconciled against your last Sage 300 EOFY before sign-off.
- GL · AR · AP · inventory · BOM
- Multi-currency intercompany history
- Reconciled to last Sage 300 EOFY
-
Field Operations & Mining Migration
Mining, field-service, equipment maintenance and utilities workflows are the trickiest part of a Sage 300 migration. We map Sage 300 field-ops configuration to Business Central Field Service or NetSuite Field Service Management, preserving job history, asset register, work-order templates and scheduling rules.
- Mining & field-service job history
- Asset register & work-order templates
- Scheduling rules re-configured in target
-
Sage 300 Customisation Audit
Sage 300 macros, VBA scripts, Crystal Reports and third-party add-ons audited before migration begins. Sorted into three buckets: re-implement in the target, replace with native functionality, or drop because the business need has changed. No surprises mid-project.
- Macros · VBA · Crystal Reports audited
- Third-party add-ons mapped or replaced
- No mid-project scope surprises
A Sage 300 migration project, end to end
Three stages. Parallel-run with daily reconciliation against live Sage 300. Cutover on a financial-year or quarter boundary. Sage 300 stays read-only as a safety net. Delivered personally by the founder.

Week 0
Sage 300 Audit & Scope
15-minute scoping call. We map the Sage 300 version and edition, modules in use, customisation depth (macros, VBA, add-ons), entities + currencies + data volume, target system thinking, and industry vertical requirements. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

Weeks 1–N
Build & Parallel-Run
Two-week sprints with weekly demos. Migration scripts extract from Sage 300 (data, configuration, custom field metadata); target system configured in parallel. Field-ops and mining module configurations validated by domain users. Reconciliation reports each sprint.
-
Cutover
End-of-Quarter Cutover
Cutover landed on a clean financial boundary (end-of-month / end-of-quarter / EOFY). Sage 300 stays read-only for one financial year as audit safety. STP / BAS / multi-entity reporting continuity tested. 30 days post-cutover support included.
Before you book the scoping call
How long does a Sage 300 migration take?
A right-sized Sage 300 → Business Central or Xero migration (single entity, standard modules) typically runs 12–20 weeks. A Sage 300 → Business Central or NetSuite migration with field-ops, mining or manufacturing modules and several integrations runs 5–10 months. Multi-entity migrations with heavy customisations can run 9–18 months. Cutover always lands on a financial-year or quarter boundary so reporting stays clean.
Which system should we migrate Sage 300 to — Business Central, NetSuite, MYOB or Xero?
Depends on size, sector and ecosystem. Business Central is right when you want to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem and use field-service, manufacturing or inventory modules natively. NetSuite is the consolidation play when the parent group is already on NetSuite or you want full ERP independence. MYOB or Xero suit businesses where Sage 300 was over-scoped and a modern accounting platform plus a connected app covers actual usage. The scoping call covers all options honestly — we do not get paid more to recommend any one.
What happens to our Sage 300 macros, VBA scripts and Crystal Reports?
Audited before migration begins. We document every customisation (often surprising the current team) and sort into three buckets — re-implement in the target system as a native feature or extension, replace with something the target already does natively, or drop because the underlying business need has changed. Nothing disappears without a conscious decision.
How much historical data can we migrate from Sage 300?
In principle, all of it. In practice we ask which years actually need to be queryable in the new system (typically last 2–7 years live, older years archived as exports). The Australian Tax Office requires 5 years of records. Multi-entity Sage 300 installations have intercompany history that we preserve carefully — those are often the most time-consuming part of the project.
We are in mining — can you handle Sage 300 field operations and mining workflows?
Yes. Sage 300 field-service and field-operations workflows (work orders, asset management, scheduling, equipment maintenance) are mapped to Business Central Field Service or NetSuite Field Service Management. Mining-sector workflows including shift-costing, equipment register and production reporting are re-implemented in the target system's native features or as configured extensions. Job history and asset register are migrated, not dropped.
Do we own the migration code after the project?
Yes — migration scripts, reconciliation reports, target-system configurations, custom extensions, deployment scripts, all yours in your GitHub or Azure DevOps from day one. Sage 300 stays installed read-only for one financial year as audit safety — the auditor can still pull source data when needed. After that, exported archives are kept indefinitely.
Can we migrate Sage 300 to Business Central field operations specifically?
Yes. “Sage 300 to Business Central field operations” is a migration pattern we deliver. Business Central 2024 includes a mature Field Service module (formerly Dynamics 365 Field Service integrated with BC) that covers work orders, asset management, scheduling, mobile field-technician apps and service contracts. Sage 300 field-service configuration, job history and asset register all migrate.
What does fixed-price mean for a migration this complex?
Fixed-price means a firm number you approve before any data is touched — not a time-and-materials estimate that blows out. It is based on a 15-minute scoping call and a short discovery session where we confirm Sage 300 version, module list, customisation depth and data volume. Scope is documented and signed off. Change control applies only if the scope genuinely changes, not because the project took longer than our estimate.
