Sage 50 EDI Integration

Add EDI capability to Sage 50 without the cost and complexity of enterprise EDI

Sage 50 (Sage) requires third-party tooling for EDI order processing. OrderSync connects via direct API to sync EDI, PDF, and email orders as Sage 50 sales records automatically. Most Sage 50 integrations go live in 2 to 4 weeks.

Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree Accounting) is one of the most widely installed small business accounting platforms in the US, used by millions of small businesses for invoicing, inventory, and financials. When Sage 50 users land their first major retail account and receive an EDI compliance mandate, they face a hard choice: buy expensive enterprise EDI middleware or re-key orders manually. OrderSync is built for this situation.
