Sometimes the way you answer a question depends upon whom you are talking to. Not that any version of the answer you provide is false, you simply know your audience well enough to emphasize what interests them or is most relevant. You strive to speak their language.

First, the overarching answer to “What is SAGE Workplace?”

SAGE Workplace™, formerly SAGE Total Access, is the new, singular brand representing all the SAGE apps. It is the all-encompassing subscription to SAGE business management services regardless of how a user may access them. Available in a Windows app, web app, and iOS and Android mobile apps, SAGE Workplace is the industry-leading, next-gen technology designed specifically to serve the promotional products industry. Netflix doesn’t brand its service Netflix Mobile, Netflix TV, and Netflix Casting, because the service is the same regardless of how the content is accessed. The same is true of SAGE Workplace. SAGE Mobile is now SAGE Workplace. SAGE Online is now SAGE Workplace. And so on.

SAGE Workplace for Newbies

If you’re new to the promotional products industry, you may not be familiar with the history of SAGE at all. In that case, you want to know what the heck SAGE does in general. Fair question. Getting back to basics, SAGE Workplace is an all-in-one, seamlessly integrated business management services tool for those in the promotional products industry.

You may have initially heard about it as a far-reaching product search tool. It is that, but it’s also much more. In SAGE Workplace, you can create marketing materials, track customer interactions, build presentations, integrate payment processing, manage orders, draft purchase orders, create invoices, rate suppliers, and more. And it does it all seamlessly, so you don’t have to toggle back and forth between multiple platforms to run your business.

SAGE Workplace for Techies

You don’t have to be a techy to use SAGE Workplace. The interface is very user-friendly. However, if you appreciate forward-thinking technology, Workplace has something for you, too. In addition to dozens of search filter options and the associated algorithms in the product search feature, developers have incorporated SAGE AI technology into modules like Presentations and the Idea Wizard. Webhooks enhance communication between systems. API integrations with accounting software like QuickBooks are also commonplace. New data points, enhancements to existing features, and ongoing updates keep the machines learning, the developers developing, and your business running smoothly.

SAGE Workplace for Mom-and-Pop Shops

Small distributors and enterprises find a level playing field in SAGE Workplace. Access to thousands of options in product search is the same no matter how many people you employ.

The technology exists for any verified distributor who wants to subscribe.

Because SAGE Workplace offers all-in-one business management services that are simple, useful, and clear, it’s a dream for minimalist business owners. It’s one software that does all the things. If a capsule wardrobe conserves brain power and time for more important things, SAGE Workplace saves time, money, creative energy, and more for those wanting to focus on customers rather than administrative tasks and software updates.
