Why SYSPRO ?

SYSPRO – Cost of Ownership

SYSPRO has a proven track record as being one of the most cost effective solutions in the various

industry sectors, with organisations being able to consistently keep their total information technology

budget below 0,5% of turnover, well below the recommended industry standard for distribution and retail

organisations.

The following reasons contribute to the low cost of ownership:

SYSPRO has an annual license fee of 15%, the lowest in the mid to upper ERP space

SYSPRO is based in South Africa, and all prices and license fees are in ZAR, eliminating any current

fluctuations.

The ease of use and administration overhead is very low, reducing the headcount in the IT department.

The SYSPRO consulting environment is proven to be consistently between 15% to 25% cheaper, on an

hourly basis, than any of its competitors.

Local support

SYSPRO’s Head Office is in Johannesburg, with regional offices in Cape Town and Durban. In addition,

SYSPRO has more than 300 Value Added Reseller, or independent partners, that can support and

provide services to the agricultural sector.

SYSPRO Positioning

tasks.

Governance, Risk and ComplianceGRC Software

6 reasons to connect governance, risk and compliance (GRC) with ERP

• 1 Tax ComplianceAn ERP solution like SYSPRO can help you manage your taxes and withholdings more efficiently. The cross-module tax-return functionality facilitates easy tax compliance globally, including VAT and GST tax systems used in the world’s major economies.

• 2 Financial Reporting SYSPRO ERP makes it easier for your finance department to support GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and local regulations around the world. Use the XML output of the General Ledger Report Writer to produce your financial disclosures in XBRL for regulators like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS).In addition, SYSPRO ERP Software features business analytics tools that provide the transparency you need for optimal governance. With true visibility across the organization and access to information in real time, you can conduct audits, identify non-conformance and then take preventive actions.

• 3 Sustainability and Value CreationFor companies looking to meet objectives related to social and environmental value creation, not just financial performance, it’s key to have data visibility across your operations. With SYSPRO ERP Software you can also relate data from various areas of the business to report on how the company is performing against objectives such as sustainability or eco-friendly purchasing practices.

• 4 Custom Protections and Audit TrailsNew financial regulations demand that you ensure the integrity of your financial reporting with appropriate controls and auditability. Defining each employee’s roles in the process – and knowing what they can access – makes it easier to manage risk. With SYSPRO, you can integrate e-signatures and custom role-based permissions, even down to the transaction and field level. This protects your data and gives you the audit trail you need for compliance with regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and the FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

• 5 TraceabilityMany regulatory bodies like the U.S. FDA require businesses to track products at the ingredient level so they can manage recalls. Electronics and medical device manufacturers, for example, need lot traceability to manage product components. SYSPRO ERP Software provides full forward and backward traceability, and you can connect it with CRM so you can contact customers and suppliers as needed based on purchase history. By creating documentation automatically, you can also reduce compliance costs.

• 6 Business Process Automation and ModelingOptimal governance, risk and compliance demands transparency when it comes to your business processes. And, the more you automate workflow for routine tasks, the more confident you can be that your business is successfully meeting compliance requirements.SYSPRO ERP Software enables you to model and document all of your key processes, and then once you have visibility into your operations, you can identify ways to streamline and increase throughput of information automatically. This not only drives efficiency, but it also gives you a complete audit trail on what actions happened, when.
