Accounting, payroll, and HR software provider Sage has launched the Sage Supply Chain Intelligence solution to address the increasing need for enhanced visibility and automation in supply chain management. It has also announced a multi-year partnership with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
Launch of Sage Supply Chain Intelligence
The Sage Supply Chain Intelligence solution, launched before the much-anticipated Sage Future conference in Atlanta from June 3-5, will help operating teams reduce delays by 35%, protect margins, and scale faster without overhauling their existing systems.
Sage Supply Chain Intelligence originated from Sage’s acquisition of Anvyl in 2024. Since then, the company has rebranded and expanded the offering to give small and medium businesses (SMBs) more control over the first mile of their supply chain.
Speaking to the media before the conference, Dan Miller, EVP of ERP and Financials at Sage, said the solution now provides real-time visibility from pre-purchase orders to delivery. “It manages the whole workflow and helps the team collaborate and make decisions around how they manage the supply chain,” Miller said. “This tool set automates that process for our customers and is designed to provide end-to-end transparency and control particularly beneficial for industries such as consumer products that require timely market delivery.”
New Partnership with the LPGA
In addition to technological advancements, Sage is expanding its strategic alliances in the sports sector. During the press briefing, Mark Hickman, Sage’s Managing Director for North America, noted that Sage is now the official financial software partner of the LPGA.
“There’s never been a more exciting time to support women’s sports from record-breaking viewership to rising fan engagement; women’s leagues are generating an enormous momentum, commanding global attention and reshaping the landscape of professional athletics,” Hickman said. “This partnership allows us to be part of that energy and elevate a shared vision of excellence.”
Further details of this collaboration will be shared at the Sage Future conference, where Mary Salter, the LPGA’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, will give insights on how Sage Intacct is helping drive the association’s digital transformation and operational growth.
What This Means for ERP Insiders
High performance remains front and center for Sage. The two initiatives announced today reflect Sage’s ongoing efforts to provide advanced tools for its customers and to align with organizations demonstrating high performance. They underscore Sage’s focus on innovation and strategic growth. Caraway’s adoption of the Sage Supply Chain Intelligence Solution is a case in point. According to Mark Riskowitz, Vice President of Operations at Caraway, the company managed 10 times as many purchase orders within a year with Sage Supply Chain Intelligence. ERP professionals should note that Sage Supply Chain Intelligence (formerly Anvyl) manages over $4 billion in gross merchandise value. This translates to enhanced integration possibilities, broader support, and the assurance of a solution designed to bring enterprise-grade power and scalability.
Strategic value for growing businesses. Sage has emphasized that the supply chain solution supports fast-growing brands. This positions the offering as a key enabler for companies looking to scale their operations. Thus, the solution can become a strategic asset for organizations aiming to optimize their supply chain for expansion without outgrowing their systems prematurely. ERP professionals can use this to frame discussions around how robust systems and strategic thinking are foundational to achieving peak business performance.
The LGPA partnership connects technology and the human pursuit of excellence. The plan for Sage and the LPGA to showcase how elite athletes, who are business leaders alike, navigate competitive pressure, make complex financial decisions, and pursue sustainable success offers a unique angle. Salter has said that Sage’s solutions will help LPGA streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and continue to foster a high-performance environment. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to the business side of sports, where effective financial management is key to achieving long-term success,” she said.
