Sage Acquires Paperless Environments

ATLANTA (Oct. 1, 2026) — Sage, a provider of accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and midsized businesses (SMBs), has acquired Paperless Environments, a longstanding Sage partner and specialist provider of technology for accounts payable automation, document workflows and subcontractor compliance in the construction industry. The acquisition forms part of Sage’s ongoing investment in its construction offering, giving contractors greater control over the information and approvals they need to keep projects on track.

Construction firms are increasing their use of technology to improve efficiency. The 2026 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook, from Sage and the Associated General Contractors of America, found that 61% of US construction firms were using AI or planning to increase investment during the year, up from 44% in 2025.

Sage is investing in automation and AI to help construction businesses work more efficiently and gain a clearer view of their financial and operational performance. This gives them the information needed to act earlier, manage risk and protect profitability. Sage Intacct Construction provides financial management and job costing, while Sage’s wider offering spans preconstruction, construction operations, payroll and HR. Paperless brings more than two decades of construction experience, as well as AP automation, document management and workflow capabilities that connect finance, project and jobsite teams.

“Construction is an important market for Sage, and we have been deliberate about adding the technology and expertise our customers need,” said Dan Miller, EVP, Financials and ERP, Sage. “Contractors should not have to piece together critical information from across their finance, project and field teams.  Paperless brings a highly experienced team with expertise in accounts payable automation and document workflows that will help reduce the manual work involved in managing invoices, project records and compliance documents across offices and jobsites.”

Helping Construction Teams Work More Efficiently

Paperless serves more than 1,400 customers across the U.S., Canada and Australia. Its technology integrates with both Sage and non-Sage ERP systems, and existing customers and integrations will continue to be supported following the acquisition. Sage customers already access Paperless’s technology as Sage Paperless Construction, which works with Sage Intacct Construction, Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate and Sage 100 Contractor.

Paperless helps contractors capture and route project records, validate invoice information against ERP data and purchasing requirements, and manage the documentation needed to maintain subcontractor compliance and keep payments moving. Mobile capabilities allow jobsite teams to submit receipts, images and forms, while authorized project managers can review documents and approve work away from the office.
