At a prestigious event held in Cape Town on 21 November, Sage VIP, leading supplier of payroll and human resource management solutions, awarded its top performing partners for 2013 in the Western Cape region.

The reputable awards recognise partners for their contributions to identifying and referring potential Payroll and HR clients. Contributions are measured according to the number of leads as well as the value of the sales in a 12 month period.

HRworks.co.za, a comprehensive online directory of Human Resources products and services, has been named the Top Partner for Sales, while Trac-Tech, a designer and manufacturer of time recording and access control technology, has claimed top honours for its outstanding contribution to leads.

Sandra Swanepoel, Sales director at Sage VIP, says the Partner Programme forms an integral part of the company’s strategy to grow the customer base and to continue delivering value-added services.

“We value our partners for their contributions and awarding them for excellent performance is one way in which Sage VIP can say thank you. Our collaboration with the partners also allows the opportunity to provide a total solution to our joint customers by integrating the partner’s products and services in transactions, where it is possible and a need exists.

“We are delighted to receive this prestigious award which recognises our efforts and continued focus on introducing improved solutions to our customers,” says the owner from HRworks.co.za, Adria Bulpitt.

Martin Silver, national sales manager from Trac-Tech says, “We are privileged to receive the award from Sage VIP and look forward to a continuous business relationship which will be to the benefit of our customers.”

Swanepoel continues: “Any company or individual who are in a position to actively refer clients to Sage VIP can register as a partner, provided they belong to one of the following categories: Auditors and Accountants; ERP Software; Financial Institutions; HR Consulting; Time & Attendance Systems; Computer hardware & software; as well as Accounting Software.
