ERP for South African manufacturers must combine five things: bill of materials, works orders, multi-warehouse stock with serial and batch tracking, material requirements planning, and SARS-compliant financials, all in one system. We implement two platforms that do this: Sage 200 Evolution, and Sage Intacct with the SDMO manufacturing module for cloud-first operations.
Manufacturing is where generic accounting software fails first. The moment you hold raw materials, run works orders and need to know the true cost of a finished unit, you need a system built for it, with the SARS compliance layer South African manufacturers cannot opt out of.
Sage 200 Evolution is the workhorse: full BOM management, works orders, multi-warehouse control and serial or batch tracking, integrated with financials and purchasing, deployable on-premise, hosted or hybrid, and fully SARS-localised. For cloud-first manufacturers, the Sage Distribution and Manufacturing Operations (SDMO) module extends Sage Intacct into cloud-native manufacturing. Brilliant Link launched this module for the South African market.
VAT201 returns and SARS-compliant documentation are produced by the system rather than assembled at month-end. Infrastructure reality also matters here, and it is why we still offer on-premise and hosted deployment. Your deployment should match your operation, not a vendor's cloud-only policy.
Yes. Sage 200 Evolution includes full bill-of-materials management, works orders and serial or batch tracking, integrated with financials and purchasing.
Yes, this is one of our most common projects. Master data, opening balances and stock come across in a reconciled, signed-off migration.
Either. Evolution runs on-premise, hosted or hybrid; SDMO on Intacct is cloud-native. We advise based on your operation, not our preference.
