Risk management for subcontractor and vendor noncompliance campaign

Construction is a risky business. And while it’s impossible to avoid risk entirely, it’s critical that construction firms take action to minimize liability for subcontractors and other vendors. Compliance management is like a seatbelt; it’s not a matter of if, but when construction customers will need it.

Launched in February, a Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate campaign educates contractors on how to avoid costly fines, litigation, and a damaged reputation. The campaign includes collateral, recorded demos, demo scripts, and marketing templates for business partner use.

Stay tuned for a similar Sage 100 Contractor campaign later this spring.

Keep an eye out at Sage Sell for more information throughout the month of March.

The Sage Company Store has received a big facelift

Sage has contracted with Pinnacle Promotions to create a new line of Sage-branded products that are now available on the Sage Company Store.



Placing an order: The new company store is easier to navigate and offers over 20 new Sage-branded apparel and merchandise options. While we transition to new products like those now featured on the store under What's New, many of the old designs continue to be available at a discounted price.

The new company store is hosted by Pinnacle, and just like the previous provider, you will need to register when visiting the site for the first time. Once you have access, you may place orders using a credit card.

Visit the store now to register and shop.
