Sage 300 Migration & Replacement for Australian Businesses
Sage 300 is a well-established ERP that has served Australian mid-market businesses for years across distribution, manufacturing, and project-based services. Sage continues to support it. But the product development trajectory is clear: Sage is building the future on Sage Intacct and Sage X3, not Sage 300.
Businesses come to us about Sage 300 migration for a few consistent reasons: SDK customisations that have become too risky to maintain, Crystal Reports that take too long to generate for management decisions, or a growth path that the platform cannot scale to.
HELLO PEOPLE manages Sage 300 migrations to Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and MYOB Acumatica. Fixed-price after a proper audit of your Sage 300 environment, modules, customisations, and integrations.
Why businesses come to us about Sage 300
These are the situations we see most often from businesses evaluating a move off Sage 300.
SDK customisations that are too risky to touch
The Sage 300 SDK customisations built over the years work, but no one wants to change them. Every modification is risky. The original developers have moved on and the code is not well documented.
Management reporting that takes hours to produce
Crystal Reports and Sage Intelligence work, but getting consolidated management reports for Monday's meeting involves exports, Excel pivots, and manual reconciliation. Finance wants to spend time analysing, not assembling.
Growth the platform cannot easily keep up with
You have added entities, started operating internationally, or grown to a team size where Sage 300's user licensing and performance are limiting your ability to scale cleanly.

Services for Sage 300 users
Data migration, integrations, and dashboards. We do not handle the ERP configuration itself, that sits with your chosen platform partner.
Migrate your Sage 300 data to Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or MYOB Acumatica
Sage 300 is still actively supported. Sage releases regular updates and the platform remains viable for many businesses. But Sage's long-term strategic investment is firmly in Sage Intacct — their cloud-native ERP — and in Sage X3 for larger, more complex organisations.
Businesses move off Sage 300 when the overhead of maintaining SDK customisations, managing integrations via API gateway, or manually running reports outweighs the stability of staying. When that calculation tips, you need a data migration partner who knows the Sage 300 data model.
We extract the complete Sage 300 dataset: chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, inventory, projects, open AP/AR, and transaction history. Every entity mapped and transformed to the target platform. We run the migration in a test environment first and validate before production cutover.
Custom integration services →Connect your systems to Sage 300 — or build for the platform you are moving to
Sage 300 integration has historically gone through the Sage 300 API and web screens, or directly against the SQL backend. It works, but it requires developer access and lacks the clean REST API that modern platforms offer.
We build integrations that connect Sage 300 to your CRM, job management software, field service platforms, e-commerce tools, and custom applications. For businesses planning a migration, we scope integrations so that the middleware can be rearchitected for Sage Intacct or NetSuite rather than rebuilt from scratch.
Businesses already running Sage Intacct or NetSuite in another part of the organisation can use these integrations as a bridge while the Sage 300 entities transition.
Custom integrations →Real-time dashboards and reporting on your Sage 300 data
Sage Intelligence and Crystal Reports are solid reporting tools, but they produce point-in-time snapshots that require manual refresh and distribution. Getting real-time management visibility out of Sage 300 typically requires workarounds: scheduled SQL queries, Excel connections, or third-party BI tools.
We build external dashboards connected to Sage 300 via SQL: live P&L, divisional performance, project profitability, cash flow forecasting, debtor aging, and inventory analysis. Browser-accessible, with role-based permissions and no manual steps between the data and the decision.
These dashboards are designed to transition to your new platform. The data layer connects to Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or MYOB Acumatica after migration, preserving the reporting investment through the change.

Where do Sage 300 businesses migrate to?
Multi-app stack for businesses who want modern and modular. Sage Intacct for the Sage family path. NetSuite outside the Sage ecosystem. MYOB Acumatica for Australian mid-market.
Replace Sage 300 with a multi-app stack: Xero or MYOB plus specialist apps
You do not have to replace Sage 300 with another big ERP. Some Sage 300 businesses retire the platform by moving to a connected stack of best-of-breed apps: Xero or MYOB for core accounting, Deputy or Employment Hero for HR and payroll, simPRO or ServiceM8 for field service, Unleashed or Cin7 for inventory.
This is usually cheaper and simpler than a Sage Intacct or NetSuite migration, and it avoids rebuilding your SDK customisations entirely. Each app is purpose-built, Australian-compliant, and can be swapped out later without rebuilding the whole stack.
We migrate your Sage 300 data into each app, then build the integration layer between them. Orders into Xero, timesheets into payroll, inventory into accounting, jobs into field service. Worth evaluating if the SDK rebuild cost is the main barrier holding up migration.
Migrate to Sage Intacct, the natural Sage family move
Sage Intacct is Sage's cloud-native ERP, and it is where Sage is actively directing investment. If you are already in the Sage ecosystem, Intacct is the logical destination: familiar vendor, smooth licence transition, and Sage's own migration tooling to assist.
Sage Intacct is well-suited to mid-market businesses with multi-entity structures, project-based billing, or complex revenue recognition requirements. It handles consolidated reporting across entities, multi-currency, and dimensional reporting in a way that Sage 300 does not.
The data migration from Sage 300 to Intacct is substantial. The platforms share a vendor but not a data model. We handle the data migration side. Your Sage Intacct partner handles the platform configuration.
Migrate to NetSuite for businesses evaluating outside the Sage ecosystem
For Sage 300 businesses that are growing fast, have complex multi-entity or multi-currency requirements, or want to break away from the Sage ecosystem entirely, NetSuite is the strongest alternative. It is cloud-native, scales well, and has a mature API that makes post-migration integrations reliable.
NetSuite suits the same business profile as Sage 300: distribution, manufacturing, professional services, and wholesale. But where Sage 300 often requires SDK customisation to handle complexity, NetSuite covers more ground in the standard platform.
The migration from Sage 300 to NetSuite requires careful data mapping. The platforms differ significantly in data model. We handle the migration work. Your NetSuite partner handles the platform setup.
Migrate to MYOB Acumatica for Australian mid-market businesses
MYOB Acumatica is a strong option for Australian businesses that want cloud ERP functionality with strong local compliance built in. Australian payroll, STP, BAS, and superannuation are natively supported. For businesses that are already MYOB-adjacent (using MYOB for payroll or tax), the transition to Acumatica is natural.
MYOB Acumatica covers distribution, manufacturing, and project accounting in the same range as Sage 300. The Australian MYOB partner network is well-established, and local implementation support is easier to find than for some alternatives.
For businesses that do not need the scale of NetSuite or the Sage ecosystem continuity of Intacct, Acumatica is often the most cost-effective cloud ERP option in the Australian mid-market.
Not every Sage 300 business needs another big ERP.
The default assumption when leaving Sage 300 is to move to another single ERP. Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or MYOB Acumatica. One vendor, one tool, one big migration project.
A growing number of Australian mid-market businesses are retiring Sage 300 by moving to a connected stack of specialist apps instead. Xero or MYOB for core accounting. Deputy or Employment Hero for HR and payroll. simPRO or ServiceM8 for field service. Unleashed or Cin7 for inventory. Each app does one thing well, costs less than a full ERP, and avoids rebuilding SDK customisations entirely.
The catch is integration. The apps only work as a coherent business system when they are properly connected. That is what we do. We migrate your Sage 300 data into each app, then build the integration layer between them. Worth evaluating if the SDK rebuild cost is the main barrier holding up migration.
A typical connected stack replacing Sage 300
An example of what a modern multi-app architecture looks like. Specific apps depend on your industry and workflows. We help you choose the right pieces.
Core Accounting
Xero or MYOB for the general ledger, AP/AR, bank feeds, invoicing, and BAS. Australian-built, STP-compliant, with rich ecosystems of connected apps.
HR & Payroll
Deputy or Employment Hero for rostering, time and attendance, leave, and payroll. Native Australian compliance, with mobile access for staff.
Field Service & Jobs
simPRO, ServiceM8, or Tradify for job management, scheduling, quoting, and invoicing. Mobile-first. Covers the job costing and project workflows many Sage 300 businesses run.
Inventory & Wholesale
Unleashed, Cin7, or Dear for inventory, purchasing, and multi-warehouse stock. Handles the Sage 300 Inventory Control and Order Entry use cases with a modern API and cloud access.
Integration Layer
This is where we come in. We build the connections between each app so your stack works as one business system. Sage 300 data migrated in, then integrations that keep everything in sync. Monitored, alerted on failure.
Unified Reporting
One dashboard layer pulling data from Xero, payroll, field service, and inventory into a single view. Live P&L, cash flow, team utilisation, job profitability. What Crystal Reports never could.
Sage 300 to NetSuite: mid-market distributor, complex inventory, SDK rebuild
A Melbourne distribution business with 14 years on Sage 300 migrated to NetSuite. Eight SDK customisations assessed: three retired as standard NetSuite features, five rebuilt as SuiteScript customisations. Seven Crystal Reports replaced with real-time NetSuite dashboards. Inventory data and nine years of transaction history migrated clean.
Read the full case study →Situations we handle for Sage 300 users
If you recognise your situation here, we have done this before.
Businesses hitting the limits of Sage 300 customisation
SDK customisations have accumulated over years. Testing them is risky. The developers who wrote the originals have moved on. Every change takes twice as long as it should.
Finance teams who want real-time visibility, not monthly exports
Sage Intelligence reports are scheduled, not live. You want dashboards the management team can check daily — not a 45-minute export process before the Monday meeting.
Growing businesses that have outgrown Sage 300
You have added entities, started operating in multiple currencies, or grown the team to the point where Sage 300's multi-user performance and user licensing are a constraint.
IT managers evaluating Sage's long-term direction
Sage is investing in Intacct and X3. Sage 300 is still supported, but the product development trajectory is clear. You want to make the move on your own terms before you are pushed.
Businesses with disconnected systems and manual data entry
Your e-commerce, CRM, job management, and Sage 300 are connected via file imports and manual entry. Staff re-key data between systems daily. The cost of that time adds up fast.
Businesses planning a structured migration with a clear timeline
No deadline forcing the move, but you want to do it properly: platform selection, a clean data migration, all SDK customisations assessed, and a tested go-live. Not a rushed project triggered by a crisis.
How a Sage 300 migration project works
Every Sage 300 environment is different. This is the structure we follow to deliver migrations cleanly, on budget, and low-risk.
What we bring to a Sage 300 migration project
The specific technical capabilities we apply across data migration, SDK rebuild, integration work, and reporting.
Sage 300 SQL Extraction
Direct SQL access to the Sage 300 database. We know the Sage 300 table structure across supported versions, including ARCUS, ARCBL, OEORD, and ICITEM table families.
SDK Customisation Assessment
Full audit of Sage 300 SDK customisations (VB.NET and C#). We assess complexity, usage, and the rebuild scope on the target platform. Some customisations get retired; others rebuilt.
ETL & Data Transformation
Purpose-built ETL pipelines extracting from Sage 300 SQL and loading to Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or MYOB Acumatica. Data quality rules applied during transformation. Re-runnable for test migrations.
Report Rebuild & Dashboards
Crystal Reports and Sage Intelligence reports rebuilt in native target platform tools, Power BI, or React/Metabase dashboards. We confirm what is in active use before rebuilding anything.
Sage Intacct & NetSuite API
Data loading via Sage Intacct XML API, NetSuite SuiteScript/REST API, or MYOB Acumatica REST API. We use the platform's intended import mechanism — not direct database writes.
Custom Tools & Portals
External web tools built to address functional gaps in Sage 300, scoped to transition to the new platform after migration. Customer portals, approval workflows, and data entry interfaces that do not add SDK complexity.
Our Sage 300 SDK customisations had been blocking us for years. Nobody wanted to touch them. HELLO PEOPLE audited the whole environment, retired three of the eight customisations as standard NetSuite features, rebuilt the remaining five, and migrated fourteen years of data cleanly. The migration was less disruptive than I expected.

Common questions about Sage 300 migration
Is Sage 300 still supported?
Yes. Sage 300 is actively supported and Sage continues to release updates. There is no announced end-of-life date for Sage 300. That said, Sage's long-term investment in product development is clearly directed at Sage Intacct and Sage X3. Businesses on Sage 300 are typically evaluating migration when they hit customisation limits or when the overhead of staying becomes greater than the cost of moving.
What is the natural upgrade path from Sage 300?
Sage positions Sage Intacct as the cloud successor for mid-market businesses currently on Sage 300. For businesses with complex multi-entity structures or international operations, Sage X3 is sometimes the destination. Outside the Sage ecosystem, NetSuite and MYOB Acumatica are the most common alternatives we see.
What happens to our Sage 300 SDK customisations?
SDK customisations built in VB.NET or C# do not carry to the new platform automatically. We audit all your customisations during the discovery phase: what they do, how heavily they are used, and whether the functionality already exists on the target platform. Some can be retired. Others need rebuilding on the new platform.
Is a Sage 300 migration an upgrade or a full migration?
It is a full migration. Sage 300 and Sage Intacct share a vendor but not a data model or architecture. Moving from Sage 300 to Intacct (or to NetSuite or Acumatica) involves extracting data from the Sage 300 SQL database, transforming to the target platform schema, and loading cleanly. Plan it as a project, not a version upgrade.
How long does a Sage 300 migration take?
Typically 4 to 6 months for a Sage 300 migration. The main variables are data volume, SDK customisation complexity, the number of modules in use (AR, AP, IC, PO, OE, PJC, and so on), and integration count. We scope the project properly before committing to a timeline.
Can we still use Sage 300 while the migration is running?
Yes. The migration runs in parallel with your live Sage 300 environment. You continue using Sage 300 throughout the project. The test migration runs in a sandbox. Cutover happens at an agreed date, typically aligned with end-of-month or end-of-financial-year. Sage 300 is kept in read-only mode for historical reference after cutover.
What Crystal Reports do we need to rebuild?
We take a full inventory of Crystal Reports in active use during the audit phase. We confirm what is actually used, then rebuild in the target platform's native tools or in Power BI and React dashboards for complex analytical reports. Reports that are no longer needed are retired rather than rebuilt.
We are not sure whether to go to Sage Intacct or NetSuite. Can you help us decide?
Yes, and we do this as part of the scoping engagement for most Sage 300 migrations. The decision comes down to entity structure, volume, international operations, integration requirements, and cost. We give you a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it, not just a list of features.
