Indeed, perhaps I am not clear. I am looking for a software solution that our Software, Sage 100 2015 (providex) can use for sending email alerts to employees. From what I understand, that software is Sage Alerts and Workflows. I am looking at this software and it looks hugely overkill. I am wondering if this is the only solution for "Alerts"
It is not the only app. You can build something from scratch using Microsoft Access and Crystal if you want but honestly it is your best solution. It has a lot of functionality and I suspect that once you start using it you will any number of ways to use it.
Typically my clients who use it start with just a couple of things they wanted it for originally. Then they see the power and start creating all sorts of good alerts that make their business run more smoothly.
It really does pay for itself.
Most powerful thing I did for a client involved melding it with custom office UDFs and scripts and creating a multi-level purchase order authorization/notification system. Most things however are much simpler, but still valuable.
