SGE Sage Group Plc

Sage (FTSE: SGE), the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced the winners of the annual Sage Intacct Customer Success Awards as it kicks off the Sage Transform 2022 conference. The hybrid event, taking place this week in Orlando and online, will focus on how Sage is helping SMBs knock down barriers and enabling them to thrive. 

As a lead-in to this year’s conference, now in its 15th year, Sage revealed the winners of the 2022 Sage Intacct Customer Hero and Industry Awards. These awards recognize organizations that have used the innovative functionality within Sage Intacct software to dramatically improve their business and financial operations.

This year’s top customer award, the Sage Intacct Customer Hero award, goes to Vitamin Angels.

Vitamin Angels is a public health nonprofit working to improve nutrition and health outcomes in low-resource settings worldwide. They strengthen, extend, and amplify the impact of their partner organizations working to reach the most nutritionally vulnerable groups – pregnant women, infants, and children – who are underserved by existing systems. Until recently, the organization used many manual, paper-based processes to manage its finances. The team wanted a new more advanced system along with a better user interface and flexible reporting capabilities.

As a result, the team not only improved accounts payables efficiency by 60% and eliminated accounts receivables and revenue data entry, but also helped increase restricted revenue by $14 million dollars over three years. Additional key results using Sage Intacct include:

• Freed up $200,000 in logistics costs, helping serve an additional 800,000 women and children
• Saved 10 hours per month in AR data entry
