Sage 100 has no full REST API, so most integrations end up as nightly imports and someone retyping the rest. QServices connects Sage 100 to your bank, CRM, web store and EDI partners through its supported routes, adds AI agents for the manual finance work, and helps Sage 500 users decide what comes next.
Writes through Sage's Business Object Interface, so Sage's own validation still applies.

Connecting Sage 100
Four ways into Sage 100, and what each is good for.
Each route has a job. Writing through the wrong one is how integrations break or skip Sage's validation.
Route
Reads or writes
Use it for
Business Object Interface (BOI)
Reads and writes, with Sage's validation
Creating orders, invoices, customers and cash receipts from other systems
ODBC
Read-only
Reports, Power BI and lookups for agents
Visual Integrator
Batch imports and exports
Scheduled file loads from banks, partners and spreadsheets
Middleware with a REST layer
Both, through BOI underneath
Web stores, CRMs and anything that expects an API
Sage's older eBusiness Web Services and SData are no longer developed, per Sage community and third-party sources.
Sage 500 users
Sage 500 still works. The question is for how long.
Sage still ships Sage 500 updates in 2026, and no end date has been announced. But it runs on VB6 and SQL Server only, with no plans for a new interface or a cloud version.
Stay, and stay current
It works, and nothing forces a move this year.

Sage and AI
Sage's AI helpers, and where agents fit.
Sage's AI features so far answer questions about Sage. Agents that do the finance work itself are still a custom build.
Sage 100 Search help and Sage Assistant
AI help inside Sage 100, and from 25 September 2026 the first step in Sage 100 chat support.

FAQ
What Sage customers ask.
What should Sage 500 users do next?
Nothing has to happen this year: Sage still ships Sage 500 updates and hasn't announced an end date. But it runs on VB6 with no cloud version planned, so plan a move to Sage Intacct, Sage X3 or another ERP within your next few budget cycles, and extend Sage 500 in the meantime with integrations built to move with you.
How do I choose a Sage 100 consultant?
Ask how they write data into Sage (it should be the Business Object Interface, not direct database writes), how they handle Sage's annual releases, what integrations they've built that are still running, and who supports them after go-live.
How do I connect Sage 100 to my bank, CRM or web store?
Through the Business Object Interface for writes, ODBC for reads and Visual Integrator for scheduled files, usually with a middleware layer that gives other systems a REST API to call.
Can I use AI agents with Sage 100?
Yes, as a custom build. Sage's own AI so far helps users find answers in Sage. Agents for cash application, collections or order entry can read through ODBC and write through BOI, with a person approving postings.
