'We were looking for a product that integrated our Sage front and back office software and reviewed a range of potential products. S-Link met our requirements and we also used Marda Associates to further amend the software to suit our exact requirements. The support we receive is second to none and resolution and response times to queries are normally within 1 working day, if not instant! Marda Associates are a very responsive team and an easy company to work with, I enjoy our partnership.'

Here’s what other Sage Business Partners say:
 
'As a Sage Business Partner, Smith Cooper has a large number of Sage 50 and Sage 200 customers. Those customers have differing CRM requirements which are not always reflective of the size of accounts software they run. Many of our customers running Sage 200 take advantage of the integration offered directly by Sage with Sage CRM.
 
However for those customers who are perfectly well served by Sage 50 but have a sophisticated CRM requirement and require integration between the two, S-Link by Marda Associates fulfils many of those needs out of the box whilst at the same time meeting our requirements for quality, reliability and data integrity. As well as providing a fantastic out of the box integration solution, Marda has also developed a bespoke integration for one of our Sage 50 / Sage CRM customers and the service we received was excellent.'
 
 
'S-Link represents a very useful part of our Business Solution offering. It enables us to meet the specific requirements of the customer without unnecessary software upgrades.'
