Here’s what businesses like yours typically ask before making the move.
Yes. APPSolve has a structured data migration methodology that preserves your full transaction history, customer records, and financial data. We run parallel systems during transition, so you never lose access to historical data.
For a mid-market SA business, a typical Sage Evolution migration is completed in 6–10 weeks from project kick-off to go-live. Complexity, number of integrations, and data volume all affect the timeline, which is why we assess this upfront — for free.
Yes. Acumatica includes native SARS VAT logic, e-Filing integration and audit-ready reporting. APPSolve configures and localises your implementation to meet current SARS requirements as part of every project.
Your data is migrated in a controlled, tested process. We run a full validation pass before go-live and maintain your existing system in parallel during the transition period, so your business operations are never interrupted.
Every APPSolve implementation includes a 90-day post-go-live support period. Beyond that, our SA-based support team is available for ongoing assistance, customisation, and training as your business evolves.
APPSolve provides ongoing support, training, and system optimisation. We’re not just implementers, we’re your long-term ERP partner. When you need help, you talk to people who know your system.
