Currently using Sage 200 Manufacturing at your business?

In October 2024, Sage announced that Sage 200 Manufacturing will no longer be available in Sage 200 2025 R2 onwards. This means that if you are currently using it and wish to continue doing so, you will be unable to update your Sage package from Autumn 2025. 

Not updating your Sage package not only means you won’t be able to utilise the latest features but your business might be left vulnerable to security risks and future legislative changes. As well as this, all support from Sage will end on 31/12/25.

 

So, what should you be doing? 

Start researching alternative options! In 2021, CIM released Cim200, a comprehensive manufacturing solution desgined to replace Sage 200 Manufacturing. With most of Sage 200 Manufacturing’s functionality as well as a familiar interface, training on this new system typically only takes 2-4 days.
