What We Do

Retire Sage 300 and keep the records that matter

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 Xero, MYOB Acumatica, NetSuite, Business Central, and other fit-for-purpose targets where needed. Fixed-price after a proper audit of your Sage 300 environment, modules, customisations, and integrations.

Sound Familiar?

Customisations nobody dares touch, reports that take hours

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.

What We Do

Move the data, link the systems, see it live

Data migration, conversion, move planning, integrations, and dashboards for Sage 300 users moving to Xero, MYOB Acumatica, NetSuite, or Business Central. We do not handle the ERP configuration itself, that sits with your chosen platform partner.

Migrate, convert, or move your Sage 300 data to Xero, MYOB Acumatica, NetSuite, or Business Central

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.

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.

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.

Migration Targets

The platforms Sage 300 businesses choose next

Popular paths include Xero for lighter finance-led moves, MYOB Acumatica for Australian mid-market, NetSuite for broader ERP capability, and Business Central for Microsoft-aligned teams, with Sage Intacct still relevant inside the Sage ecosystem.

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 Australian 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 Australian 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.

Case Study

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.

14 yrs Data migrated
8 SDK customisations assessed
7 Crystal Reports replaced

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.

How We Deliver

From Sage 300 audit to go live

Every Sage 300 environment is different. This is the structure we follow to deliver migrations cleanly, on budget, and low-risk.

  1. Sage 300 Environment Audit

    We review your Sage 300 environment: data volumes, modules in use, all SDK customisations, Crystal Reports and Sage Intelligence reports, and all integration points. You get a complete picture of what a migration involves before committing.

  2. Platform Selection & Business Case

    We help you choose between Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and MYOB Acumatica with a clear recommendation and rationale for your specific situation. SDK customisation complexity, entity structure, and Australian compliance requirements all factor in.

  3. Data Extraction & Mapping

    Full extraction from the Sage 300 SQL database. Every module mapped to the target platform schema. Chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, inventory, projects, and transaction history all handled. All transformation rules documented before migration starts.

  4. Test Migration & Validation

    Full migration to a sandbox environment. Finance team validates: customer and supplier balances, open transactions, inventory quantities, and historical data. Issues fixed in the ETL pipeline, not after go-live.

  5. Customisation Rebuild & Integration Reconnection

    SDK customisations assessed, reduced where possible, and rebuilt on the target platform. All integrations reconnected. Crystal Reports rebuilt in native reporting tools or external dashboards.

  6. Go Live & Post-Migration Support

    Cutover at end-of-month or end-of-financial-year. Parallel running for agreed period. Sage 300 kept in read-only mode for historical reference. We stay through the first reporting period and BAS lodgement.

Why us

Straight advice, a fixed price and code you own

  • We build, not just advise

    We write the ETL pipelines, rebuild the SDK customisations, reconnect the integrations, and migrate the reports. No subcontracting, no offshore handoffs.

  • Fixed-price quoting

    You get a clear price after we audit your Sage 300 environment. No hourly billing that spirals mid-project.

  • Platform-neutral recommendation

    We do not have a vendor incentive to push you to one platform over another. We tell you which is right for your situation.

  • Australian compliance on day one

    Whichever platform you migrate to, Australian payroll, BAS, STP, and superannuation requirements are handled from go-live.

  • Full code ownership

    Every integration and customisation we build is yours. Full source code and documentation.

What finance teams ask about leaving Sage 300

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 when businesses migrate from Sage 300, and Xero where the finance needs are now simpler.

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. Sage 300 was known as Sage Accpac before Sage renamed it, so a Sage Accpac migration is the same project, and older Accpac versions come out the same way, from the SQL database. 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.

Tell us what Sage 300 runs for you

Tell us about your Sage 300 environment: modules in use, SDK customisations, Crystal Reports, integrations, and your planned migration timeline. We will come back with a realistic plan and fixed-price quote.
