About RMS
Following its establishment in 2005, RMS has grown to become South Africa’s largest privately owned utility network manager. Operating across the commercial, corporate, retail and municipal sectors, the company recovers over R10 billion annually in utility costs on behalf of its clients.
The Requirement
RMS relied on manual payroll and HR processes to manage its growing team, but these outdated methods presented several challenges.
Payroll runs were lengthy and prone to errors, and RMS found it increasingly difficult to stay compliant with evolving labour legislation and tax regulations. Additionally, without any self-service functionality, employees couldn’t access payslips, submit leave requests or update their personal details without going through HR. This placed a heavy administrative burden on the HR team, resulting in delayed response times and limited capacity for strategic work.
The Solution
CRS implemented a fully integrated payroll and HR software solution tailored to RMS’s operational needs. Packed with powerful features, the solution streamlines and modernises RMS’s payroll and HR processes for greater efficiency and control.
All employee data is now centralised within a secure, unified platform. Payroll processing has been fully automated, improving accuracy and saving valuable time, while real-time legislative updates ensure RMS remains compliant with ever-changing regulations.
Furthermore, employees and managers are now empowered to easily access payslips, submit leave applications and manage personal records through self-service portals.
“We commend CRS for their excellent service and support. They understood our needs and delivered a reliable payroll solution that improved accuracy, reduced admin and enabled HR to focuson strategic work.” Lesrick Nayager, CFO
