Fortis Strengthens Collaboration with Sage Through New Features with Sage Intacct

Fortis introduces new recurring payments and client sync capabilities, enhancing payment processing and streamlining operations for customers.

PLANO, Texas, August 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Fortis, a payments technology leader for software providers, ERP customers, and scaling businesses, today announced new developments in their ongoing partnership with Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), through new features with Sage Intacct that will enhance payment processing for customers. These features will simplify payment processes and streamline back-office activities, enabling clients to get paid faster and more efficiently.

“Fortis’ in-depth expertise in the ERP industry empowers Sage Intacct users to better manage their cash flow and optimize their operations. By introducing features like recurring payments and customer sync, we enable Intacct users to streamline their back-office processes, allowing them to focus more on driving their business forward,” said Chip Mahan, Global Commercial Head of Fintech at Sage.

New Features Enhance Efficiency and Accuracy

  • Multi Pay – Allows merchants to pull up a customer file and manually process payment for multiple invoices at once. This streamlines the management of invoices, ensuring consistency in billing, providing a more efficient workflow.
  • AutoPay – Customers can make payments with the click of a button. This adds another layer of convenience, enabling users to track which customers have set up payments. Businesses will have greater confidence in cash flow management due to better financial planning and reduced risk of missed payments.
  • Recurring Payments – This feature allows users to add new recurring payments and view existing recurring transactions, syncing these transactions with the Fortis Platform. This simplifies the management of recurring payments, ensuring automatic, fixed, timely payments, improving cash flow and offering predictable financial forecasting.
  • Customer Sync -Facilitates the synchronization of customer data between Fortis and Intacct. Any changes made in Intacct (or Fortis) are automatically updated in the bi-directional connection, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in customer management.
  • Transaction Sync -Provides comprehensive tracking of transactions between Intacct and the Fortis Platform. With detailed transaction data and status updates, users can enjoy enhanced transparency and troubleshooting capabilities, making it easier to identify and resolve any issues.

“The B2B market is in the early stages of digitization—not just the evolution of cloud ERP software. Sellers can now leverage the Fortis embedded commerce experience to improve sales and receivables in Sage Intacct, all while creating amazing buyer interactions,” said Greg Cohen, Fortis CEO.

Fortis stands out as a Sage Recommended Solution and leader in embedded ERP payments, consistently delivering innovative solutions that simplify merchants’ payment processes and expedite their payments.

Five Red Flags to Consider When Looking for a Sage 50 Payments Solution 

Running a business is all about efficiency. Sage 50 software allows businesses to streamline their accounting processes, capture more revenue, and remain compliant. A Sage 50 payment integration should be just as efficient and embed seamlessly into the software. The last thing you need is a payments solution that creates headaches instead of streamlining your workflow. 

That’s why it’s important to investigate each payment processing solution thoroughly. The integration you plug into your system should improve cash flow, automate manual processes, and ensure secure data compliance. 

But, as you know, not all payment solutions are created equal. So, in this blog, we cover five common red flags to be wary of when considering a Sage 50 payments solution. 

Red Flag #1: Long-term contracts 

Don’t get locked in. While a long partnership is ideal, you don’t want to be stuck with an ill-fitted solution. Longer commitments make it difficult for merchants and organizations to negotiate terms and fees.  

Pay-as-you-go, no contract solutions exist, and they are often preferable.  

Red Flag #2: Non-PCI compliant solutions 

Any payment solution you use should be PCI-compliant – end of story. Sensitive customer data is involved when accepting payments, and you don’t want to leave yourself open to liabilities. Even more, non-compliance fees can drain your financial reserves, with penalties as high as $10,000 a month.   

Red Flag #3: Manual payment collection 

Your integration should never require you to chase down customer payments. Constant follow-up on unpaid customer invoices drains your time, cash, and resources. The right payment processor should have the right tools in place to combat this. 

Tools like click-to-pay invoicing embed payment links in emails and text messages to streamline payments. Other solutions like autopay create automated follow-ups and recurring payment options.  

Red Flag #4: Non-customizable solutions

Payments isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” industry, and most businesses need to tweak their payment solution to match their strategy. A best-in-class payment processor should have deep, dynamic APIs that promote customization. APIs should be user-friendly, comprehensive, and have ongoing developer documentation. 

Red Flag #5: Non-certified Sage Solution

Finally, most important of all, your payment solution should be Sage certified. As a Sage 50 user, you want to ensure your payment solution has been vetted by the program itself. If a payment solution isn’t loudly proclaiming its certified status, it’s best to turn the other way.
