Success Story

The Results

Payroll Modernization at Scale

With Sage 300 People™, De Keur automated payroll for 1,500 staff and empowered leadership with real-time reporting.

Efficiency

Weekly Payroll Unified

One interface now manages payroll across three companies, saving time and reducing duplicate logins.

Visibility

Real-Time Reports Enabled

Leadership can now export key payroll data to Excel instantly, improving workforce decision-making.

Accuracy

Wage Calculations Automated

Time and attendance data from farms is pulled into Sage 300 People for error-free, fast payroll runs.

The desktop product we were using before Sage 300 People served us well, but we realised we could improve efficiencies and streamline our business by implementing a newer solution. Sage 300 People gives us a real-time view of our payroll, so we always have our finger on the pulse.

Overview

De Keur Group, a leading Western Cape agricultural enterprise, turned to TydeCo™ and Sage 300 People™ to modernize its payroll operations. With up to 1,500 permanent and seasonal employees across three business entities, De Keur faced growing complexity in payroll management.

TydeCo™ implemented Sage 300 People to centralize processing, automate manual inputs, and improve reporting speed and accuracy.

The upgrade has enabled De Keur to manage its payroll and employment equity compliance with confidence, while delivering strategic visibility for HR and leadership teams.

Sage 300 People gives us a real-time view of our payroll, so we always have our finger on the pulse.

Challenge

As a rapidly growing agricultural operation, De Keur’s legacy payroll software no longer met its evolving needs.

  • Manual imports of earnings and deductions consumed time
  • No real-time reporting for HR or management
  • Separate logins for each company’s payroll
  • Backups and compliance checks were manual and error-prone

 

Without modern tools, De Keur risked delays, inefficiencies, and compliance gaps in a high-volume payroll environment.

We can generate management reports at the push of a button and export them to Excel.

Solution

TydeCo™ delivered a modern payroll transformation using Sage 300 People.

  • Implemented Payroll and Employment Equity modules
  • Integrated Excel-based time and attendance inputs
  • Enabled real-time report exports for executive use
  • Consolidated weekly and monthly payroll into one system
  • Eliminated manual backups and data fragmentation

 

The new system brought automation, compliance, and efficiency to every layer of De Keur’s payroll operations.

Modernising the payroll system offers quick wins for companies running legacy systems or manual processes.
