How Purica Sped Up AR Collection on Net-30 Terms with Sagify
Purica, a Canadian health and wellness brand selling mushroom and pet supplements since 1999, added Sagify on top of Sage 50 — and customers on 15–30 day terms started paying right away. Plus 1–1.5 hours saved daily and an honest 8/10 ease-of-use rating.
How Purica Got Paid Faster on Net-30 Terms by Modernizing Sage 50 with Sagify
Summary: Purica — a Canadian health and wellness brand selling mushroom and pet supplements since 1999 — added Sagify on top of Sage 50. The expected wins showed up (1 to 1.5 hours of manual entry eliminated every day, fewer order mistakes). The unexpected one is the bigger story: customers on 15–30 day terms started paying their orders right away. And Jade Schultz, the inside sales rep who runs the workflow daily, rates the app a refreshingly honest 8/10.
💰 The Headline Result: Faster Cash In
Most Sagify case studies open with hours saved or backlogs cleared. Purica's opens with something different — a cash flow win their team didn't see coming.
"Collecting payment has become more effective. Some people are now paying their orders right away — even when they're on 15–30 day terms." — Jade Schultz, Inside Sales Representative, Purica
The mechanic is simple: when manual order entry is the bottleneck, professional invoices reach customers later than they should. The AR clock starts late. With Sagify, Shopify orders flow into Sage 50 the same day, customers receive proper invoices immediately, and many of them just pay — terms or no terms.
It's a quiet shift, but it's the kind of compounding outcome that pays for the tool many times over.
🍄 Company Snapshot
Since 1999, Purica has been more than a business. They began with a heart for communities grappling with serious health challenges, and have grown into a trusted source of mushroom and pet supplements. Their customers range across all ages — and even extend into beloved animals.
"Since 1999, we've been more than a business. We began with a heart for communities grappling with serious health challenges. We offer a variety of mushroom supplements and pet supplements, our customers range from all ages and even transfer into our beloved animals." — Jade Schultz
Their Tech Stack
Purica runs their store on Shopify and keeps their books in Sage 50.
"We chose Shopify because it offers a user-friendly platform that makes managing products, inventory, and orders simple and efficient. It also provides reliable payment processing, customizable design options, and integration with the tools we already use for shipping, marketing, and customer communication." — Jade Schultz
"We use Sage 50 for accounting because it provides reliable financial management tools that help us efficiently handle invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and financial reporting. It allows us to keep accurate records, monitor cash flow, and generate detailed reports that support day-to-day business decisions." — Jade Schultz
Worth noticing: Purica didn't frame Sage 50 as something to escape. They're a careful, detail-oriented team that values Sage 50's reliability. They wanted to modernize around it — not leave it.
❌ The Challenge: Manual Entry Was Delaying the AR Clock
Before Sagify, Purica operated entirely within Sage 50. The system was reliable — it was the workflow around it that was draining time and slowing the business down.
- 2–3 office staff entered every order each day
- 5–10 minutes per order, climbing to 15–20 minutes for complex ones
- All credits, adjustments, and account updates were done manually
- Mistakes happened: wrong discounts applied, missed items, wrong unit amounts
- Reporting for sales reps required extra manual cleanup
- Invoicing and the AR clock were both delayed by the entry backlog
"All orders were manually entered each day by 2–3 office staff members, while also maintaining constant communication with sales representatives and stores. In addition, all credits, adjustments, and account updates were processed manually, making the workflow very time-consuming and heavily dependent on manual oversight." — Jade Schultz
"Yes, mistakes easily happen. Wrong discounts can be applied, some items could be missed from orders. Or wrong unit amounts can be added." — Jade Schultz
The Purica team explicitly defended Sage 50 — the goal was never to swap accounting systems. The goal was to stop letting manual data entry slow down the whole order-to-cash cycle.
✅ The Solution: Keep Sage 50, Add Sagify
Sagify gave Purica what they were looking for: a way to bring Shopify orders into Sage 50 automatically, without leaving the accounting system they already trust.
Each morning, Jade comes in and processes the day's retail and wholesale orders through Sagify. On higher-volume days, the team runs it a second time.
"Each morning I come in and process all my retail and wholesale orders. Sometimes I will do this twice a day if we have a larger influx of orders." — Jade Schultz
The Honest 8/10
Purica is not a customer that hands out 10/10 ratings. When asked to rate ease of use, Jade gave it an 8.
"Sagify is 8/10. Very user-friendly and functional. Easy, smooth process to learn." — Jade Schultz
We're keeping that 8/10 visible on purpose. A customer who's willing to say 8 instead of 10 is a customer whose praise elsewhere actually means something. Sagify still has room to grow — and Purica's voice is the kind of feedback that helps us grow it well.

Why the AR Story Matters
For a wholesaler on net-30 terms, getting paid sooner is the kind of outcome a finance team will fight to keep. The headline isn't the hours — it's the cash flow.
Sagify didn't just save Purica time. It accelerated their order-to-cash cycle. That's a structurally different ROI than "we automated a task."
🧠 Why Purica Recommends Sagify
Purica's recommendation focuses on two things every Sage 50 business cares about: how smooth the change actually is, and what the support looks like when something needs attention.
"The transition process has been incredibly effective and smooth. Any technical support inquiries are answered promptly, and the team provides clear, step-by-step guidance whenever additional help or clarification is needed." — Jade Schultz
Key Benefits Purica Experienced
Before Sagify:
- Every order entered manually by 2–3 office staff
- 5–10 minutes per order; 15–20 for complex ones
- Invoicing — and therefore the AR clock — delayed by the entry backlog
- Mistakes on discounts, missed items, and unit amounts
- Reporting for sales reps required extra manual cleanup
After Sagify:
- Same-day, accurate invoices flowing into Sage 50
- Customers on net-30 terms paying right away
- Manual entry eliminated — even on high-volume days (twice-daily runs)
- Cleaner orders, fewer discount and unit-amount mistakes
- Office staff redirected to higher-value work
💡 The Takeaway: Modernizing Sage 50 Is Also a Cash Flow Strategy
Purica's story flips the usual case study script. Yes, they saved hours. Yes, they reduced mistakes. But the most interesting outcome is the one nobody promised them up front: a faster collection cycle on terms.
If you're running a B2B Shopify + Sage 50 shop and your AR aging report is uglier than it needs to be, the bottleneck might not be your customers. It might be how long it takes professional invoices to reach them.
Sagify solved that for Purica without asking them to switch platforms, retrain their finance team, or rebuild a chart of accounts they've trusted for years.
