Sage 100 Contractor Reports That Find You: myCREcloud and DataXcel Webinar

· By Mike Hagberg

Recording of the November 10, 2026 myCREcloud and DataXcel webinar: Sage 100 Contractor reports that arrive in your inbox, multi-company roll-ups, the onboarding audit, alerts, and asking your data questions in plain English.

DataXcel connects to Sage 100 Contractor and turns its data into dashboards, scheduled report emails, alerts, and an AI assistant you can ask questions in plain English. myCREcloud hosts Sage 100 Contractor for about 550 Sage clients and partners with DataXcel.

On November 10 we showed myCREcloud customers what DataXcel does with the Sage data they already have. The full session is below. No registration required.

A $40 labor hour that really cost $71

One company budgeted field labor at $40 an hour. Fully loaded, that hour cost $71. On small jobs nobody notices. On big jobs, that gap is the margin.

Bar chart: $40.08 in the job budget, $50.48 with field costs, $71.36 fully loaded

Sage holds every number needed. It does not show them together. See the full breakdown.

  • Scheduled reports: the reports your meetings run on, emailed as PDF or Excel on a schedule.

  • Alerts: a heads-up when a job, a deadline or cash needs you.
  • Crew scorecards: revenue per labor hour and budget vs actual hours, by foreman.

Questions people asked

Is the AI secure with confidential data? Your reporting copy of the data stays on the same SQL Server as your Sage database. We never pull Social Security numbers or bank account numbers. Details are on our security page.

Can reports be exported to Excel? Yes. Any report can be downloaded, and a scheduled email can attach the Excel file.

Can actuals be merged with forecasts? Yes. Daily snapshots of your data show how far actual results landed from the plan. Forecasting is set up per company today.

Our billing comes from another system and lands in Sage as one line. Can you still report on it? Often, yes. We can bring data from other systems into the same warehouse. Every setup is different, so we walk through yours one on one.

How often does it sync with Sage? Every morning, before you get in. A Sync now button refreshes on demand, and syncs can be scheduled more often.
