How does the integration with Sage 50 work?

Stream Go integrates with either Sage 50 or Sage Business Cloud Accounting.

Stream Go integrates with Sage in one of two ways:

  1. For businesses whose orders are first recorded via Sage, the order can then be pushed into Stream Go for delivery processing (for example, when taking sales orders)
  2. For businesses whose orders are first recorded via Steam Go, the order can then be pushed into Sage for invoicing (for example, where its a logistics movement order)
