Overview

Premier FMCG, a top South African consumer goods company with R12 billion in turnover, experienced rapid growth through acquisitions, expanding its workforce from 2,000 to over 8,000 employees.

To support this growth, it migrated from its legacy payroll platform to Sage 300 People Payroll, selecting TydeCo™ as its consulting partner. The rollout was completed in three months across South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini.

The new system allowed for more accurate payroll processing, seamless integration between HR and payroll data, and quick adaptation to business changes. With enhanced management reporting and a user-friendly self-service portal, Premier FMCG improved internal operations and financial controls.

Sage 300 People’s robust capabilities now support multiple companies, pay cycles, and employment conditions, positioning Premier FMCG for future expansion. TydeCo™ ensured the implementation aligned with business goals and timelines, proving its strength in supporting high-growth companies.

Sage 300 People has improved data availability and adaptability.

Challenge

Premier FMCG needed a modern payroll system to support its significant expansion.

  • Legacy Sage VIP software couldn’t support multiple entities
  • Difficulty managing various income and deduction codes
  • Disconnected HR and payroll systems caused double data entry
  • Reporting was fragmented and time-consuming
  • Tax benefits were difficult to manage across retirement funds

 

The payroll system no longer supported the company’s complexity. A scalable, centralized solution was essential.

We can now manage different pay cycles easily.

Solution

Premier FMCG implemented Sage 300 People Payroll with support from TydeCo™.

  • Rolled out to three countries in just three months
  • Centralized HR and payroll data to reduce duplication
  • Simplified reporting and payroll code management
  • Improved data validation and financial controls
  • Introduced employee self-service for leave management

 

This new system enables Premier FMCG to manage payroll efficiently and scale with future acquisitions.

Reporting is faster and much easier to tailor.
