Cashbuild, a leading local retailer of quality building materials and associated products, has been successful in establishing a firm footing in the market and has used this position to apply strategy and support growth.
It recently invested in the services of an established provider to maintain the efficiency of its HR department and ensure that this discipline could keep up with the progress of the business.
The Company sells directly to the public via its network of 226 stores, and growing across Southern Africa, including South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland and Malawi. It employs over 4 500 people.
Executive management agreed that the Company had to invest in a comprehensive time & attendance system to support its expansion and to comply with regulation and legislation. There was also a need to achieve a higher level of accuracy in terms of time & attendance – and do so within a specific budget.
Cashbuild had to acquire the services of a credible partner to achieve these objectives. The partner had to be experienced and have a firm track record of service delivery within T&A, HR and payroll.
Accsys was identified as the service provider of choice. The company is a member of the Business Connexion Group (BCX) and a national supplier of people management software and hardware solutions targeting HR, payroll and T&A.
Cashbuild liaised with Accsys over the best possible solution and considered three options: manual recording, Employee Self Service (ESS) with a biometric system and ESS without biometric recording (manual capturing).
Following consultation with Accsys, Cashbuild opted for the last option – ESS without biometric recording.
