How much does Sage X3 cost?
Sage X3 does not have a single, standard price. The cost depends on factors including the number and type of users, modules required, deployment model and the complexity of your implementation.
For most businesses, the overall investment will include software licensing, implementation and ongoing support. Below, we break down these costs and provide indicative examples to help you understand what you might expect to pay.
Are Sage X3 cost calculators accurate?
You may come across ERP or Sage X3 cost calculators online, but they can only provide a rough indication. There are simply too many variables involved to accurately calculate what Sage X3 will cost for your business.
For a meaningful figure, your requirements need to be understood first – including your users, sites, processes, integrations and the functionality you need. That’s where a conversation with an experienced Sage X3 partner, like Inixion, comes in.
Sage X3 licensing costs
Sage X3 pricing is based on an annual subscription model, with licensing built around the functionality your business needs and the number of users accessing the system.
The three core Sage X3 platforms
Sage X3 has three core platforms:
- Finance – financial management, accounting and reporting.
- Distribution – finance plus purchasing, sales, inventory and distribution capabilities.
- Manufacturing – finance and distribution functionality plus manufacturing and production management.
The platform you need is one of the key factors determining your base licence cost.
Beyond the core platform, your Sage X3 licensing costs will depend on the number and type of users requiring access and any additional modules or functionality your business needs.
There isn’t therefore a standard Sage X3 licence price that applies to every business. Your licensing is configured around the way your organisation needs to use Sage X3.
What affects Sage X3 implementation costs?
The cost of implementing Sage X3 depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A straightforward implementation for a single-site business will require a different level of investment from a multi-company or international rollout.
The main factors that influence implementation costs include:
- Data migration – the volume, quality and complexity of the data being transferred from existing systems.
- Configuration – how much Sage X3 needs to be configured around your business processes and operational requirements.
- Integrations – connections required with other business systems, applications, eCommerce platforms or specialist software.
- Manufacturing complexity – requirements such as production planning, bills of materials, recipes, quality control, traceability and shop-floor processes.
- Multi-site and multi-company requirements – additional complexity where Sage X3 needs to support multiple sites, legal entities, currencies or countries.
- Training and change management – the number of users and the level of training and support required to prepare your teams for the new system.
The platform you need is one of the key factors determining your base licence cost.
Beyond the core platform, your Sage X3 licensing costs will depend on the number and type of users requiring access and any additional modules or functionality your business needs.
There isn’t therefore a standard Sage X3 licence price that applies to every business. Your licensing is configured around the way your organisation needs to use Sage X3.
A typical Sage X3 implementation takes around 6–12 months, although the timescale will depend on the scope and complexity of the project. Multi-site or highly complex implementations may take longer, while more straightforward projects can be delivered more quickly.
The best way to establish both the likely implementation cost and timescale is to properly scope your requirements before the project begins.
What affects Sage X3 support costs?
Once we have implemented Sage X3, our Inixion support team is ready to support you and help resolve any issues. We support businesses in the UK and North America (USA & Canada), from our base, here in the UK. Support costs are priced differently depending on if you’re in the UK or USA. That’s why it’s vital to speak to a human being, not a cost calculator to get accurate Sage X3 prices.
