Sage 300 CRE
Accounting
A long-established accounting and back-office system built specifically for construction and real estate companies, formerly known as Sage Timberline Office.
What it does
Sage 300 CRE centers on job costing broken down by phase and cost code across every active project, with integrated payroll built for construction's real complexity, including prevailing wage, certified payroll, and union reporting, instead of reconciling a separate payroll service against the job cost ledger by hand. Its library of more than a thousand prebuilt, construction-specific report formats means a company can pull the reports it actually needs without custom development, and an optional property management module extends it to companies that also handle leasing and building operations.
Key features
- Job costing broken down by phase and cost code across multiple active projects
- Integrated payroll built for construction's complexity, including prevailing wage, certified payroll, and union reporting
- Over a thousand prebuilt, construction-specific report formats
- An optional property management module for companies that also handle leasing and building operations
How it's actually used
- A construction accountant runs certified payroll directly out of the system for a public project instead of reconciling a separate payroll service against the job cost ledger
- A mid-size contractor tracks job costs by phase and cost code across a dozen active projects from one back-office system
