FOR DISTRIBUTORS RUNNING SAGE 100
Quoting software for Sage 100 distributors
Sage 100 knows your items, your price tiers, your stock by depot and your customers. It does not read the PDF an electrician’s buyer sends you, the spreadsheet from a contractor or the photo of a handwritten list. So someone at your counter reads each line, finds the item in Sage, checks the stock, applies the customer’s tariff and types the quote.
Qotora AI takes over that reading and matching. It connects to Sage 100 read-only, finds each line in your catalogue, applies your own price rules and prepares a quote that a person on your team reviews before it is sent. Sage 100 stays your system of record, and Qotora AI never writes into it.

What quoting looks like today on Sage 100
The typing is not the slow part. The slow part is everything before it: decoding a customer’s shorthand, searching the item list by description because nobody remembers the reference, checking stock in the right depot, and remembering which price category this customer sits in. Sage’s own sales documents are good once the lines are known; they do not read a request for you.
- A request arrives as an email, a PDF, an Excel file or a photo.
- A person searches Sage item by item, often by description.
- The customer’s price category and any special price are checked by hand.
- Stock is checked per depot, and the quote is typed or pasted into a Sage document.
How Qotora AI connects to Sage 100
“Sage 100” is not one product everywhere, so the route depends on which one you run.
| If you run | Route | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sage 100c (the line used in France and Morocco, data in SQL Server) | Read-only SQL Server connection through a small connector on your PC or server | The SQL Server engine and a Sage-layout mapping were proven on a test bench. Your own version and tables are checked with you at onboarding, because they differ by reseller and version. |
| Sage 100 as sold in North America (the line that grew out of MAS 90 and MAS 200) | Scheduled CSV or Excel export from Sage | Works today. A database read through ODBC is assessed case by case, not assumed. |
| Anything else that stores data differently | Scheduled export | Works today, with a short delay in the data. |
Sage and Sage 100 are trademarks of their owner. Qotora AI is not affiliated with Sage and does not claim a certified or partner integration.
What it reads, and what it never does
- Items: designation, reference, barcode, unit and family.
- Prices: the base sale price and the price per customer category.
- Stock: summed over your depots, with the time of the last sync shown in the workspace.
- Customers, with their price category, and suppliers.
- It never writes into Sage 100. The login used to read has no write permission, and every read is a single SELECT.
- No purchase price and no margin is ever sent to the AI model.
Setup, step by step
- Consultation: you tell us your Sage 100 edition, version and where the database lives. This is free.
- With your written consent, our technician connects remotely and finds the item, stock, price and customer tables.
- We install the connector on your PC or server and pair it inside your own Windows session, so the database password goes straight to the machine’s keychain.
- We check what Qotora AI would receive: item counts, items in stock, prices per category, customers per category. You confirm a few items you know by heart.
- Your salesperson prepares a first quote. It takes about a day of our technician’s time and is included in the price.
What stays in Sage 100
Orders, deliveries, invoices and accounting stay in Sage 100. When a customer accepts a quote, your team enters the order as it does today. Price lists and customer categories stay in Sage too: change a price there and the next sync carries it to Qotora AI.
What it costs
US$49 for the first month, then US$149 a month on the Counter plan (up to 150 quotes sent per month, unlimited users). Setup is included, with a 7-day money-back guarantee counted from your first quote sent.
Frequently asked questions
Does Qotora AI work with Sage 100?
Yes, by a read-only connection. For Sage 100c on SQL Server it reads the database directly; for other editions it uses a scheduled export. We confirm your exact version with you before you pay anything.
Is it a certified Sage integration?
No. It is our own read-only connector. We do not claim a certified, native or partner integration with Sage.
Will it write quotes into Sage 100?
No. The quote is prepared in Qotora AI’s workspace, reviewed and sent by a person on your team. Your team then enters the order in Sage 100 if the customer accepts.
Does it use my customers’ own price categories?
Yes. It reads each customer’s category and the price for that category, and applies your rules. It never invents a price.
Do I need a Sage reseller involved?
Not for the read. Our technician does the setup with your consent. It can help to have your reseller’s contact if the database login is managed by them.
What if I run an older Sage version?
Tell us the version. If a database read is not possible, a scheduled export from Sage still works, with a short delay in the data.
