Sage 100 Contractor

Acquired (owned by The Sage Group plc, a publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange under LSE: SGE)

Sage 100 Contractor pricing is quote-only and not publicly published on Sage's website. The software is sold under a subscription-based concurrent user license model or via perpetual licenses with annual maintenance, varying by user count, selected modules, and deployment options.

Yes (not open REST), built-in .NET API/SDK for third-party integration, requires admin setup + licensing. Not a public self-serve REST endpoint.

None (No native public REST, GraphQL, or SOAP web API). Sage 100 Contractor provides an internal local desktop application API for desktop software integrations (e.g., Sage Estimating), alongside Microsoft SQL Server database access and ODBC connectivity. REST API capabilities require third-party integration engines.

Gated and license-restricted. Using the native internal API requires a company administrator to set up an API Security Group in the 7-2-1 Security Groups window and grant user permissions. Additionally, executing actions via the internal API consumes a standard Sage 100 Contractor user license seat.

No public web endpoints; operates strictly on-premise or within host environments; consumes active concurrent Sage user license seats during calls; field-level security settings in Sage 100 Contractor restrict API field visibility unless explicitly assigned to the API security group; direct SQL database access requires application approval in Database Administration to avoid trigger and security blockages.

Built-in report exports to CSV, Excel, PDF, and RTF formats; scheduled report automation (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) sent via email, file, or print using the 7-7 Scheduled Reports Manager; module-specific grid file exports (e.g., budgets, schedules, proposals, takeoffs); and direct relational database queries via SQL Server / ODBC DSN connections.

As of 2025-2026, Sage 100 Contractor (formerly Sage Master Builder) has essentially no native AI features shipped directly within the core product. While Sage announced long-term plans to bring Sage Copilot and cloud-connected Sage AI services to legacy products, AI deployment remains focused on Sage Intacct. Sage 100 Contractor relies on traditional rules-based automation, Sage Intelligence reporting, and third-party partner integrations (such as Stampli, Ramp, hh2, or Field Materials) for AI capabilities.

Sage 100 Contractor offers no native AI-powered dispatching, AI estimating, or AI call handling/CSR capabilities. Dispatching and scheduling rely on standard field service tools, manual technician assignment, and traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) logic.

Sage 100 Contractor lacks native AI-powered AP/AR automation, AI invoicing, and OCR data capture. General ledger, invoicing, and accounts payable processes are batch-oriented and manual unless integrated with third-party AI platforms like Stampli, Ramp, or Field Materials.

Sage 100 Contractor does not feature a native AI assistant, copilot, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Sage Copilot is natively built into Sage Intacct rather than Sage 100 Contractor, and no native MCP server support exists for the platform.

Sage maintains an official public app marketplace (Sage Marketplace) that lists verified third-party ISV applications and software integrations compatible with Sage 100 Contractor. Additionally, Sage provides a partner directory covering authorized resellers, implementation consultants, and technology partners.

Sage 100 Contractor is supported by Agave API, a unified API platform for construction software that offers read/write capabilities via an on-premise Windows connector interfacing with Sage 100 Contractor's SQL database. Unified API providers like Merge.dev do not currently support Sage 100 Contractor.

Sage 100 Contractor natively supports certified payroll and prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon) reporting. Features include paygroup configuration for fringe benefit cash add-ons and offsets, timecard line flags for certified work, and built-in certified payroll reporting (e.g., Report 5-1-6 and Aatrix Form 5-1-11).

Sage 100 Contractor natively supports percentage-of-completion accounting (PCM) and Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting, automatically calculating over/under billing adjustments via native reports (e.g., Report 6-1-7 Over/Under Billing Report).

Yes, deployment typically requires a paid certified Sage Value-Added Reseller (VAR) or independent implementation consultant for chart of accounts design, system configuration, data migration, and staff training.
