Barcoding & Warehousing Development Version

Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing is integrated in real time with the Sage 200 stock and order processing modules, plus it fully supports all of the Sicon additions including Job costing for issues and returns, works orders for picking and building assemblies, and distribution manager for pre-allocation of stock at goods in.

What is a Development Version?

A Development Version is a phased early adopter release preceding a full release. Rather than all new features being released in the first iteration of a full release, we phase the new features across iterations of a ‘development release’. At the end of its development cycle, a full release is introduced and the development release retired, since it is essentially converted into a Full Release. For more information, please refer to the Sicon Release Policy.
