From paperwork to progress: Farmwise improves HR and payroll management

Farmwise - South Africa

Farmwise uses Sage 300 People MCS to reduce HR admin, give teams access to real-time data, and support a 24/7 operation.

Manual HR processes create delays for a fast-growing business

Farmwise Marketing runs a 24/7 fresh produce operation with nearly 800 employees across multiple regions.

As the business grew, paper-based HR processes caused delays and increased employee queries, making it harder to manage day-to-day operations.

Sage 300 People MCS allows us to move from an admin driven department to a strategic one using real time data to make better business decisions.

A cloud HR system centralises employee data and simplifies HR tasks

Farmwise implemented Sage 300 People MCS to centralise employee data.

Moving to the cloud removed the need for physical files, while Employee Self-Service allows staff to access payslips and manage their own information. This reduced admin work and cut the number of employee queries.

We needed a system that could keep up with a business operating 24 hours a day and support our growing workforce without slowing us down.

Real-time data helps HR move from admin tasks to strategic decision-making

With access to over 100 reports and real-time data, Farmwise’s HR team now focuses on analysing workforce trends instead of handling admin tasks.

This helps the business make informed decisions and prepare for expansion into new regions and international markets.

We now track workforce trends and productivity in real time which helps us contribute strategically to the business rather than just managing payroll.
