Siteline + Sage 300 CRE - Overview

Siteline handles the billing. Sage 300 CRE handles the books. Together, they eliminate double entry and accelerate cash flow.

Written by Bradley LaFave

Siteline integrates with Sage 300 CRE to simplify, streamline, and speed up construction billing workflows for specialty subcontractors. While Sage 300 CRE handles your accounting, Siteline simplifies billing workflows — without spreadsheets, rekeying, or risk.

How Siteline works with Sage 300 CRE

Siteline connects to Sage 300 CRE via Agave — a construction-focused API integration platform. This enables Siteline to accurately sync data between both systems.

High-level workflow:

  1. Import project, contract, and vendor data from Sage 300 CRE into Siteline.

  2. Bill using Siteline's intuitive interface (including pay apps, T&M billing, and lien waivers).

  3. Sync approved invoices back to Sage 300 CRE for accurate accounting and reporting.

Key integration notes

  • Powered by Agave: A secure API-based integration purpose-built for construction tech.

  • Contract-only imports: Project data comes from the Sage Contract module, not Sage's Job module.

  • Approved change orders only: Though unapproved COs can still be managed within Siteline.

  • Retention note: Retention values tracked in Siteline do not sync back to Sage 300 CRE (due to Sage limitations); they must be added manually.

  • User-initiated sync: Invoices are synced via a one-click "Sync to Sage" button in Siteline.

Integration details

  • Type: API-based via Agave (Siteline's integration partner)

  • Data flow: On-demand, bi-directional (read/write with user-initiated syncs)

  • User action: Siteline syncs initiated by end user (via the "Sync invoice to Sage" button)

  • Security: Encrypted API communication; no direct database access
