Sage Importer
Typically businesses have solved the problem of linking their systems together by employing a Sage operator to key data from their online shop to their Sage software. Now, for a fraction of the cost, SteamDesk is bringing you an automated and accurate solution which is available today.
Our Sage Importer is perfect for you if:
- You sell products online
- You use Sage 50 Accounts
By connecting these two fundamental systems in your business we can streamline your entire sales process, increasing your efficiency and maximising your bottom line.
Why do I need it?
Our software connects seamlessly with your online shop and keeps your sales data in sync at all times. Imagine being able to view up-to-date reports in Sage seconds after sales are made online. Imagine viewing accurate profit figures on an hour by hour basis rather than waiting for end-of-week reports. Imagine how much easier stock control would be if every item sold was immediately reflected in Sage. We can help you do this and more.
High speed operation
Sage Importer runs as fast as your Internet connection allows, downloading your new customers and orders in bulk before entering them into Sage. The import process itself is also efficient running alongside any users currently logged into Sage without interrupting their work.
24/7/365
Just as your online shop doesn't have opening hours the Sage Importer doesn't have working hours. Your Sage data will always be as current as possible, so whenever you decide to take stock of your financial situation, be it a Sunday, a bank holiday, or even Christmas Day, you'll always be getting the whole picture.
100% accurate
Unlike an operator manually entering data into Sage, the Sage Importer is unable to enter incorrect or inaccurate data. You can be assured that all sales entered into Sage 50 will be entered exactly as they are recorded in your online shop. This could mean the end of manual corrections for you, and your accountant.

Professional support
We are experts at providing easy to understand support whatever the issue you may be having. Included with your licence is 6 months of unlimited telephone and email support and you can purchase further support privileges after this period if you wish.
No annual fee, no expiry
We believe that purchasing a licence should allow you to use the software for as long as you choose, that's why the Sage Importer will never expire or stop working. We also make available regular updates that improve performance and fix issues our users make us aware of, and these updates are also free for the life of your product. The only time we ask you to pay again is if we add significant new features and only then if you wish to take advantage of them.
One licence, many shops
Unlike some Sage solutions available on the Internet we don't penalise you for having more than one online shop. A single licence for our Importer can handle an unlimited number of individual stores, even shops using different shopping systems/backends, currencies or on different servers. We even help configure everything to make sure it works the way you want.
Customisable with modules
Our unique plug-in architecture allows us to quickly implement advanced functionality unique to your copy of Sage Importer, for example:
- Sending custom emails to suppliers when sales of certain products are completed
- Notifying your stock control/warehouse systems of new orders and their contents
- Printing shipping labels, envelopes and packing slips
Will it work?
Our Sage Importer is designed to work with the universal standard XML format which means we can connect to a wide range of online shopping carts.
Our Sage Importer also requires a Windows PC running Windows XP or later and a way to connect to your Sage data. This could be as simple as running on the same machine as your Sage program, or by accessing the data over your company network.
In operation the Sage Importer will require an active Internet connection to communicate with your shop and we recommend this is via an encrypted connection (HTTPS/SSL).
If you have any questions about the suitability of your environment please get in touch and a member of our team will be able to give you more information.
