What does Solver add to Sage 500?

Solver adds extended financial planning and analysis (xFP&A) to Sage 500, formerly Sage ERP MAS 500. It brings Sage 500 data together with your other key data sources on one cloud platform, so finance teams can build reports, automate budgets and forecasts, model scenarios, and share dashboards from a single source of truth.

How is Solver different from Excel for Sage 500 reporting?

Solver keeps the familiar Excel design experience and removes the manual workbook handling that surrounds it. Reports and budget forms use Sage 500 data loaded through the Solver Gateway instead of exported files, and results reach stakeholders through shareable graphs and dashboards rather than spreadsheets emailed back and forth.

Does Solver support Sage 500 sub-ledger reporting?

Yes. Solver supports both general ledger and sub-ledger reports and dashboards for Sage 500. Because Solver brings your key data sources into a single tool, you can also report on Sage 500 data next to operational and other non-ERP data for streamlined analysis across the organization.

How does Solver connect to Sage 500?

Solver connects to Sage 500 through the Solver Gateway, a desktop application installed on a machine inside your network that securely links Solver to data behind your firewall. Solver also provides SQL views for Sage 500, so your team can quickly create automated integrations that upload Sage 500 data into Solver.

How long does it take to implement Solver for Sage 500?

Solver-provided views for Sage 500 help your team build integrations quickly through the Solver Gateway rather than creating each connection from scratch. Your full timeline depends on the number of entities, data sources, and custom models in scope. Your Solver team or implementation partner will confirm a timeline during scoping.

Can Solver automate budgeting and forecasting for Sage 500?

Yes. Solver replaces time-consuming budgeting and forecasting processes with dynamic, driver-based models. Finance teams can build what-if scenarios, run simulations, and compare strategies to respond quickly to market shifts, all from the same Sage 500 data that feeds their reports and dashboards.
