Move to modern manufacturing with Sicon and Sage 200

Sicon Manufacturing allows you to fine-tune your production processes, helping you meet customer demands while minimising costs and maximising productivity. Appealing to a wide range of organisations, this solution caters for discrete, continuous, bespoke and hybrid production processes.

In October 2025, the Sage 200 Manufacturing module will reach its end of life, meaning it will no longer be updated or supported by Sage. Now is a good time to evaluate alternatives which can improve your manufacturing operations. 

At Thinc we recommend Sicon Manufacturing. Renowned for improving manufacturing processes; it makes operations faster, more accurate and more efficient. It integrates directly into Sage 200 as a completely modular solution.  

For over 25 years Sicon has developed applications solely for Sage 200. Every solution integrates seamlessly with Sage 200, providing a single, familiar solution for Sage 200 users.

The Sicon Manufacturing Suite includes four modules. You can choose any or all of them for your solution:

1. Projects: Integrates perfectly into bespoke manufacturing environments to capture stock, purchase orders, timesheets and other costs to give budget versus actual comparison
2. Kitting: A simple, single level bill of materials module that can be amended prior to building the finished product either for Stock or directly within the Sage 200 Sales Order
3. Material & Resource Planning (MRP): When used in conjunction with Sicon WOP, this module provides a simple MRP solution creating suggested Works Orders and Purchase Orders to fulfil demand. Included Rough Cut Capacity Planning delivers a real time graphical user interface for labour and machine demand against availability.
4. Works Order Processing (WOP): Sicon WOP captures production data from a variety of sources, including stock, labour, machine and subcontractors, giving visibility of overall finished product costs and updating stock levels. Whilst WOP can work independently of Sage 200 BOM, when combined, this provides enhanced functionality to create Works Orders.

Sicon has a breadth of features and several modules outside its Manufacturing suite. Reach out to Thinc to explore how Sicon can support your business.
