Vexor vs Sage Construction (300 / Intacct).
Why teams switch.
01.
Sage 100 Contractor (and the broader Sage Construction line) is mature accounting software that grew up in the 1990s–2000s. The UI shows it. For contractors comfortable in legacy desktop ERP it works; for contractors expecting a modern mobile-first product it does not.
02.
Sage Construction's value is deep construction accounting — WIP, AIA, certified payroll, multi-state tax, equipment ledgers. If you're a residential remodeler running on QuickBooks Online, you're paying for capabilities that are irrelevant to your business. Vexor + QBO covers the operations + bookkeeping shape for that profile at 5–10% of the cost.
03.
Sage Field Operations is a separate licensed module that crews access via a mobile app or web portal. Vexor is mobile-first by design — every workflow has a phone-shaped equivalent built in.
04.
Sage Construction is sold and implemented through a reseller channel. Vexor is sold and supported directly. Faster decisions, lower cost.
05.
If you run a 50+ person construction operation with federal/public work (prevailing wage, certified payroll), AIA billing on commercial contracts, equipment depreciation accounting, and an in-house controller — Sage Construction earns its price. For everyone under that profile, Vexor is the right shape.
FAQ.
No — certified payroll reporting (WH-347, state equivalents) is not a native Vexor workflow. Vexor exports hours by employee with rate breakdowns that feed into a separate certified-payroll tool. Sage Construction handles certified payroll natively, which is its core selling point for federal/public-work contractors.
Vexor exposes per-job financials (revenue, labor cost, material cost, sub cost, profit). Formal WIP schedules with percent-complete revenue recognition require an external accounting setup. Sage Construction generates WIP natively.
Vexor supports progress billing with retainage and change order impact. AIA-specific forms aren't generated natively. Sage Construction generates AIA forms in the standard format used by GCs and architects.
Sage Construction first-year cost (license + implementation + training) is typically $25,000–$75,000 for a mid-sized contractor. Vexor first-year cost is $708–$2,388. Annual ongoing maintenance for Sage is typically 18–22% of license cost per year.
Customer, job, and quote data exports as CSV from Sage. Vexor imports those into customers, jobs, and quote drafts. Accounting history stays in Sage (or migrates separately to QBO). Email support@vexorapp.com for migration help.
Federal/public work with certified payroll requirements, commercial GC work with AIA billing, equipment-heavy operations needing depreciation accounting, or operations large enough to justify an in-house controller. For everyone else, Vexor + QuickBooks Online is the right modern stack.
