FAQ
Are you running a UK business with 1 –100+ employees, wrestling with separate finance, supply chain management, payroll, CRM, and service systems that don't talk to each other? Tired of chasing data across multiple platforms, manual workarounds, and that nagging feeling you're missing something important in your numbers?
Here's the truth: Pegasus Opera 3 eliminates that headache. Instead of juggling disconnected systems, you get one integrated platform that works together seamlessly. No more double entry, no more reconciliation nightmares, no more wondering if your data is accurate.
Ready to see how this ERP solution could transform your day-to-day activities? Contact our team for a no-obligation consultation.
Pegasus Opera 3 is an award-winning, fully integrated ERP system that eliminates the need for separate finance, supply chain management, payroll, CRM, and service platforms. It's built to grow with your business and adapt to changing needs.
Pegasus Software is a UK-based business management software developer with over 40 years of experience in delivering accounting, payroll, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions. The company is best known for its flagship product, Pegasus Opera, now in its third major iteration - Opera3 SQL SE.
In 2006, Pegasus was acquired by Infor, a global enterprise software company headquartered in the United States. Despite the acquisition, Pegasus has retained its strong UK presence and continues to serve thousands of businesses - particularly SMEs that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need enterprise-level complexity.
If you're currently wrestling with an ageing ERP system, you're not alone. As we explore in our no-nonsense guide to replacing your ERP, most UK businesses with 100-1,000 employees will consider an ERP replacement within the next three years - either because they've outgrown their current system or because vendors are no longer investing in older solutions.
Pegasus Opera 3 works best for small to medium enterprises with 1-100+ employees, though it can stretch to support businesses with more employees if you need it to. Whether you're looking for Pegasus Opera 3 software for manufacturing, service companies, or retail operations, it adapts to your industry needs.
The reality is, it's particularly strong for UK-based companies across various sectors. Here's where it really shines:
What most businesses get wrong about financial systems is thinking they need something complicated. The platform does the heavy lifting, eliminating complexity:
These aren't just features - they're the foundations that keep ambitious SMEs running efficiently and compliant. If you're searching for Pegasus Opera 3 accounting software that truly understands UK business requirements, this ticks every box.
The reality is that most finance teams waste enormous amounts of time on manual processes. Whether it's staff expenses causing grief or struggling to close books quickly enough for meaningful board discussions, these inefficiencies compound. If you're interested in how timing affects your financial reporting quality, read our insights on whether your finance system dictates your board meeting timing.
Here's something interesting: over 60% of Pegasus customers at TSG use the payroll module. There's a reason for that - it actually works:
If you've got complex payroll needs or a growing team, this removes the monthly headache. For businesses considering Pegasus Opera 3 payroll solutions, the compliance automation alone justifies the investment.
Most CRM systems are either too simple or impossibly complex. Opera 3's CRM hits the sweet spot for growing businesses:
CRM integration means your sales and service teams work from the same information - revolutionary concept, we know. Whether you need Pegasus Opera 3 CRM for lead management or customer service, it handles both effectively.
If you're still managing stock on spreadsheets, stop. The system handles end-to-end supply chain operations properly:
These tools help businesses reduce waste, improve fulfilment accuracy, and actually know where their inventory stands. For companies evaluating Pegasus Opera 3 inventory management systems, the real-time visibility alone transforms operations.
Opera 3 integrates with Operations II for comprehensive manufacturing support:
This works particularly well for manufacturers who need tight integration between production and finance. Businesses researching Pegasus software often find this level of integration impossible to replicate with separate systems.

Construction firms face unique challenges. Pegasus CIS addresses them head-on:
The modularity and compliance features make it a strong fit for project-based industries with regulatory oversight. For construction companies exploring Opera 3 project management solutions, the CIS compliance automation saves countless hours each month.
We work with a variety of industries; we aren’t a one-size-fits-all company instead we tailor our solutions and guidance to exactly what you need. Get in touch and we can discuss how your current IT estate may be holding you back.
The platform gives you complete control over your finances, eliminating the complexity of enterprise systems:
Build stronger customer relationships and streamline sales, keeping things simple:
Manage inventory and procurement efficiently without the spreadsheet chaos:
Simplify payroll and personnel management with compliance-ready tools:
Powerful reporting, keeping things simple compared to enterprise BI tools:
These reporting capabilities transform how businesses make decisions. Companies implementing the system's business intelligence often discover insights they never knew existed in their data.
Here's a question: do your people use Excel for anything other than adding up? If they're building complex spreadsheets to analyse business data, you're missing the power of integrated reporting that the platform provides.
End-to-end manufacturing operations support:
Here's what this ERP solution actually delivers for ambitious businesses:
Pegasus Opera benefits for businesses that matter to your bottom line. Here's what this means for your company processes:
The reality is, you've got several options. Here's how they stack up:
Cloud-based ERP with financials, supply chain, CRM, and HR modules. Strong scalability and Microsoft integration, but complexity can overwhelm smaller teams.
Popular among SMEs for financial management. Intacct is cloud-native; Sage 200 offers hybrid deployment. Familiar to many UK businesses.
Comprehensive cloud ERP with strong accounting, inventory, and ecommerce capabilities. Global scalability but can be overkill for UK SMEs.
Cloud ERP for mid-sized businesses with flexible licensing and mobile accessibility. Competes directly with Opera 3, but has a smaller UK presence.
Enterprise-grade ERP for large organisations. Deep functionality, but more complex and costly than most SMEs need.
Primarily CRM and marketing automation. Strong in email marketing but lacks the integrated ERP capabilities.

Here's the truth about ERP support: the quality depends entirely on your implementation partner. Choose badly, and you'll regret it. Choose well, and your system becomes a business asset.
Understanding what price you pay for poor support is crucial. Over the lifetime of any business system, support costs are often more significant than the initial software investment. Poor support frustrates staff, creates business friction, and encourages dangerous workarounds that become institutionalised.

Labfacility had physical servers at both sites, but the connection was slow and unreliable, causing frequent connection losses. If the Pegasus server in Bognor Regis went down, it affected the other site too - disrupting operations across the business.
To modernise Labfacility's IT estate, TSG and the Labfacility team implemented Microsoft Azure and moved Pegasus to the cloud. This meant Pegasus could still be used, but on a much more reliable network.
The cloud migration was the initial project. The platform on the cloud enabled seamless integration with Qlik - a data integration, analytics, and AI platform that changed how Labfacility operates. It's been the most significant operational change in 20 years. Reporting and data visibility improved dramatically since implementation.
Pegasus Opera 3 deploys on both stand-alone PCs and client-server environments. Key requirements:
