Sage 300 People

We start with discovery workshops where we work with HR, payroll, and finance teams to map workflows, compliance needs, and inefficiencies. This enables us to customize reporting requirements and workflows for things like leave management, onboarding, and performance management. We can set up multi-country compliant systems and design scalable configurations for growth.

You benefit from ongoing support in the form of system maintenance, tax updates, year-end payroll reconciliation, error resolution, and system adjustment requests. We also provide audits and recommendations to improve HR and payroll processes, and ensure your staff’s skills stay fresh with user training refreshers and workshops for new features.

Implementation starts with a discovery phase to map business needs and compliance requirements. The next step is to configure things like earnings, job structures, and security profiles. Then we get technical with data migration, including importing historical data. Obviously, we test the system before handing it over and training staff to optimize all the features.

Definitely. We can integrate Sage 300 People with other financial systems, like Sage 300cloud and Sage Intacct. Integration even includes modules for training and reporting, so your employees not only have up to date skills, but also the insight to ensure relevant regulatory compliance. Authentication controls ensure secure external connections.

Business owners will enjoy several benefits when they implement Sage 300 People software. For starters, you’ll notice a reduction of around 20% in payroll errors, accompanied by built-in compliance checks and advanced automation.

Automation reduces manual transactions from 5.9% to a super low 0.1%. This is the result of smoother workflows, which replace ad hoc steps. Furthermore, best-in-class organizations are 53% more likely to integrate HR and financial information for a more holistic view of critical data, driving informed decisions and improving collaboration across departments. 

Sage 300 People is a single platform that makes it easier to manage HR and payroll information by providing a centralized location for data, while facilitating audit readiness and generating statutory reports on demand. 

The system also scales up as your company expands, increasing capacity naturally without adding additional modules or unnecessary third-party integrations.

Sage 300 People uses automation to manage most payroll and compliance tasks. For instance, integrated GL mapping ensures postings are correct, eliminating the need to rework data manually. This saves a huge amount of time and improves accuracy by reducing human errors.

Accuracy is also improved as a result of automated calculations across pay cycles, ensuring timely runs. Meanwhile, international tax and labor rules are automatically updated, provided you operate in one or more of our (many) supported countries.  

All changes and approvals are backed by clean evidence, thanks to the full audit trail that naturally follows all documents and transactions logged in the system.

All of the above have a significant impact on confidence in your business. You, your leaders, and other stakeholders can be confident in the accuracy and compliance of all submissions and reconciliations, and the resulting reduction in exceptions.

Sage 300 People provides a single central platform that houses all employee/HR-related information, including employee records from onboarding to offboarding. This means that employees’ entire work history at your company is stored and can be accessed at will (with proper authorization, of course).

Authorization is based on roles or positions in the company, as well as the right to access. This type of limited access is just one layer that contributes to the safety and security of personal data. 

Work-related data, however, is available to managers and authorized staff 24/7. This is a necessity if you have international employees in different time zones. No one needs to get up at 4am or stay up until 2am to access vital information. 

This round the clock availability also facilitates self-service features for employees who can access data related to their leave (annual and otherwise) and payslips.

One can’t create HR-specific software without automatic reporting and compliance. Sage 300 People includes the following employment equity reports:

• EEA2
• EEA4
• EEA13

All reports are prepared from source data. 

There’s a lot more to it, of course.

Leave, equity, and absence monitoring are possible – with alerts. It’s also possible to drill down into employee records for audits and management reviews. 

Companies operating in South Africa must submit a WSP (Workplace Skills Plan) and ATR (Annual Training Report). Sage 300 People supports skills reporting and ensures deadlines are always met.

Costing reporting is segmented into projects or departments. South Africa’s public sector accounting framework mSCOA (Municipal Standard Chart of Accounts) is also supported.

Sage 300 People is designed to work as efficiently across borders as it does regionally. This includes multi-company and multi-pay frequency design with a clean, uncomplicated structure.

Multi-country setups are spread across more than 13 countries in Africa and Asia. Accounting rules and regulatory compliance requirements couldn’t be more diverse. However, Sage is more than up to the task with its workflow and scheduler engine, which was developed to manage multi-step processes.

On a local level, multi-entity businesses have access to country-specific job costing and public sector models, which help to simplify the “getting to know your rules” process. Your finance and HR teams get further guidance and assistance when we integrate local finance, recruitment, and LMS (Learning Management System) tools.

We provide a comprehensive set of services to ensure you experience all the benefits that Sage 300 People has to offer. For instance, we ensure system design and implementation are specific to your organization’s chart and rules.

The same approach applies to integration and automation across HR, finance, and identity. They must fit your company’s needs, policies, and processes. The aim is to create a sustainable platform with the potential for ongoing optimization as structures and laws change. This scalability means little to no reworking, rekeying, reengineering, or expensive upgrades. 

We also provide outsourcing HR and payroll services if you have a small business or startup without a finance department, or if you have a mid-sized company with a limited financial team. 

You’re never left to flounder because we form long-term partnerships that include ongoing training and change support for managers and staff.
