Case Study: Childcare Network achieves faster financial close and scalable growth with Sage 500 ERP

Sage 500 ERP Puts Childcare Network at the Top of the Class

Childcare Network, a Columbus, Georgia–based education and childcare provider with 109 locations and about 1,900 employees, faced rapid growth that outpaced its legacy accounting system. To gain a larger, fully integrated solution for expanded chart of accounts, payroll and multi‑location transaction imports, the organization turned to Sage and implemented Sage 500 ERP (financial, reporting and Sage Fixed Assets modules).

With Sage’s Sage 500 ERP in place, Childcare Network gained streamlined end‑to‑end integration, the ability to clone GL accounts for new schools, and bulk upload journal entries so transactions that once took hours now complete in minutes. The system automates fixed‑asset depreciation by location, supports cash management for roughly 3,500 checks per month, and delivered faster closes, improved data integrity, and measurable time and cost savings across the enterprise.
