Technical Attributes

Sage Geode Warehouse Management System software combines performance, flexibility and user-friendliness into a powerful, yet affordable warehousing solution.

It is enterprise-configurable and features multi-site, multi-workflow and complete automation capabilities (such as conveyors, AS/RS, carousels and sorting equipment). Its open design orientation makes it easy to fit into most operating environments including support for industry-standard Windows and Unix operating systems as well as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases.

Its intuitive user-interface is available both on the Internet and in traditional client/server mode. This open web architecture makes it easy to extend Sage Geode to the Internet and use a light web client to access the database and any function of the application, remotely.

The software is built using the Sage Application Framework for the Enterprise X3 technology (SAFE X3) that provides the common underlying technical foundation for a full set of Sage applications for mid-to-large businesses. Leveraging a common development framework is an important distinction for companies seeking an ERP backoffice system with robust warehouse management capabilities, and SAFE X3 is one of the few software platforms providing such an integrated offering.

Plus, Sage Geode is provided with the SAFE X3 Integrated Development Environment, allowing the software to be personalized to unique company requirements in customer product implementations without changing source code.
