Active research, honestly labelled as such - not products, not promises. But it should tell you something about how far ahead we're looking, and what we think the next few years hold for businesses running Sage 200.
Extending analysis across more of the Sage estate and the module ecosystems around it.
In progressExploring whether AI systems tailored around Sage 200 can give businesses capabilities that today need expensive per-seat software.
ExploratoryLooking at how robotics could connect to Sage 200 for warehouse fulfilment operations - picking, packing and despatch driven by the orders and stock data already in Sage - whether through existing third-party software or something we develop ourselves.

Britain is now the largest European market for Geek+, the world's biggest supplier of autonomous mobile robots, with Tesco, Asda and Next among the deployments. The significant part for smaller operators: this class of robot needs minimal fixed infrastructure, so deployment cost and time keep falling - the curve that eventually reaches the SME warehouse.

The UK's Made Smarter programme offers SME manufacturers grants of up to £20,000, match-funded at 50%, towards robotics, process automation and related digital technology - now available across the English regions, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland following in 2026-27. If robotics is on your horizon, this halves the entry cost. madesmarter.uk ↗
Siemens, Expert Technologies and RMGroup announced the UK's first fully customisable autonomous mobile robots - automation shaped to the job rather than the job reshaped around the robot. Customisability is what makes robotics viable at SME scale, where no two warehouses look alike. Robotics & Automation Magazine ↗
