Invoices

The Sicon Approvals Invoices module is aimed at businesses wanting to devolve the responsibility of data entry to their end users, whilst using the approvals process to regulate the outcome.

In an era where there is an ever increasing demand for remote, flexible working, this web–based solution wraps around Sage 200 to provide the ease of access end users require, with the necessary tools businesses need to maintain control.

The available App (IOS and Android) provides scaled-down functionality to further extend usability, making Sicon Approvals functionality available ‘on the go’.
