Editions & variants
SAGE is a family of products, not one SKU.
“Sage” isn't one product — it's a family of five, aimed at very different company sizes. The pricing breakdown above is for Sage X3, the manufacturing- and distribution-focused edition Gegohub implements most often for mid-sized Kenyan businesses; Sage 100, Sage 300 or Sage Intacct may fit better depending on your size and how finance-led your operation is.

Where SAGE fits
Industries we implement SAGE for.
Not just a list of sectors — the actual SAGE module or app behind each fit.
Trading & Distribution
Distribution module — sales, purchasing and multi-warehouse inventory.
Retail
Sales & Distribution plus Inventory modules — multi-location stock and sales-order management for retail chains. Sage X3 has no dedicated POS module, so a retail POS integration typically sits alongside it.
