New Simplified Transportation ERP BI Solution Integrates BluJay and Sage Software

Running a supply chain with multiple locations and keeping track of finances used to be a gigantic pain.

If you had one location that operates internationally, you either had to switch between (or pay for!) additional accounts to manage the finances for the multiple languages.

But now that 5x Technology has integrated with BluJay, Sage 300, and SAP BusinessObjects, our transportation customers who have more than one location can see all of their financial data in our Vahana ERP BI solution.

What Is the Vahana ERP BI Solution?

Vahana is an ERP solution that combines financial information being managed by Sage 300 with operational data obtained from BluJay. It manages this data as a SaaS cloud solution that provides access to financials, inventory, payroll, reporting, and so much more all in one convenient location.

Here's a snapshot of how Vahana integrates with Sage and BluJay: 

Our Vahana ERP BI solution offers real-time visibility, making it easier to access and assess your company’s finances and operations at once. Vahana users can process orders, accept payments, pay employees, and manage projects.

Vahana is essential for transportation companies. From streamlining tracking and scheduling vehicles for maintenance to managing future bookings, payments, and resources, Vahana becomes an integral part of your logistics business.
