Sage 100 Sync Technology
TEKOA software, a leader in Sage 100 synchronization technology, provides the expertise, experience and tools that connect the dots between Sage 100 and other Web Sites, Applications and Payment Solutions. Syncing data between Sage 100 and other tools used to run your business saves you time and money when data is seamlessly and securely sync'd.
There are multiple methods for syncing data between Sage 100 and other systems. Below we discuss some of the more common methods for syncing Sage 100, but keep in mind that there are many configurations available.
Sage 100 REST API by TEKOA Software
REST API technology is the most efficient and sophisticated way to connect Sage 100 to web sites and applications. TEKOA's REST API for Sage 100 is an online secure programming interface that allows TEKOA to develop direct and real-time connections between Sage 100 and other entities like Web Sites and Applications.
One benefit of TEKOA's Sage API is its flexibility. Because it functions on the program level, TEKOA developers can truly customize and tailor an integration to the exact and unique needs of a business. The data is exchanged over highly secure channels and can connect to a large variety of modern web applications and technologies. Common Sage API connections include:
- Sales Order Processing
- Customers and Vendors

Sage 100 Integrated Electronic Data Interchante (EDI)
TEKOA uses it's state of the art Sage 100 sync technology to make seamless connections between Sage 100 and your EDI data partners.
EDI is the exchange of EDI format documents or data files using standard online communication methods and has been a common method for businesses to business integrated order processing for a generation. TEKOA not only has the tools and expertise for making Sage 100 EDI integration seamless, but also provides an online Sage 100 EDI Management Portal where you can view and manage EDI partnerships and document traffic. We have not met an EDI Partner or Document we could not process and sync with Sage 100. EDI can be a hands-free and seamless sync with Sage 100 or for those who need it, sync with an intermediary web portal for more hands-on management of EDI data sync'd with Sage 100. There are many EDI documents that can be sync'd with Sage 100, but the most common EDI Sage 100 Sync's include:
- Customer Purchase Orders Into Sage 100 Sales Orders
- Sage Invoices EDI Delivered To Partners
- Shipment Confirmations & Notifications
- Inventory Product Lists & Availability

Sage 100 Flat File and SQL Data Sync
The more familiar and old school method for Sage 100 Sync is the use of flat files like CSV, TXT, XML, JSON files that are then processed by both Sage 100 and the integrated system on the other end. This method involves the creation and deposit of outbound Sage 100 Sync data into a shared directory where another system retrieves the data and processes it.
The same method occurs in reverse to process sync data into Sage 100. The sending system drops CSV, TXT, XML, JSON files into a shared network directory where the data is picked up and processed by an automated TEKOA Sage 100 Sync App. The benefit to this method is that it is well known and developers have been using the method for many years and just run it on demand. The con for this approach is that there are a lot of moving parts and it is not a real-time sync method.
A variation of this technique is the use of SQL as the data intermediary instead of flat-files, but the process flow is the same. Some of the more common simple integrations include:
- Drop Sales Order Files Into Directory For Sync With Sage 100
- Drop AP Payment Lists Into Directory For Sync With Sage 100
- Data Trading of Inventory Transactions for WMS and Sage 100
TEKOA has a long list of these Sage 100 Sync Apps that can be viewed on our Sage 100 Services page.
No matter what method works best for your buisness, TEKOA has been there and done it. As leaders in Sage 100 Sync technology TEKOA is a solid and reliable source for any Sage 100 Sync project. Contact TEKOA for more information about our Sage 100 Sync and depend on us to get it done right.
