Sage 100 Alternative: Office of the future

Sage 100 runs on your own servers or in a hosted environment. That means responsibility for hardware, backups, updates, and security falls on your IT team or an external provider. For SMEs without dedicated IT resources, this burden is significant. Upgrade cycles can be disruptive; remote access often requires VPN or complex setups. As teams embrace hybrid work and expect to work from anywhere, on-premise software becomes a constraint. The cost of maintaining servers, licenses, and support adds up over time.

cashwerk is pure cloud SaaS. No servers to install, no updates to run, no VPN to configure. You access the platform from any device with a browser – PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone. Data is stored in German high-security data centers with encryption and daily backups. Your team can start working immediately, from the office or from home. Implementation takes days, not months, and there are no upfront infrastructure costs.

The platform delivers modern business capabilities: CRM with pipeline, project management with Kanban and time tracking, and GoBD-compliant invoicing with XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. The AI assistant CASPER supports users across all modules – a capability that legacy on-premise systems cannot match. CASPER drafts emails, summarizes data, and automates routine tasks. The interface is designed for daily use, not for IT specialists.

Pricing is transparent and predictable: 249 euros per month for up to 15 users. No server costs, no upgrade projects, no hidden maintenance fees. For a team of ten on the Elite plan (up to 40 users), that is 499 euros per month – typically less than the total cost of owning and maintaining an on-premise system. The cloud model means you always have the latest version, with new features and improvements delivered automatically.
