This afternoon Grindrod Management Services confirmed their decision to award their SAP implementation project to Northgate Arinso and K5 ERP Solutions.

Cliff McCormick, group IT Manager of Grindrod Management Services has decided to partner Northgate and K5 in order to implement a new SAP System which will be used to manage the company’s Human Resources.

This new partnership will launch  the first phase of the project which will migrate payroll for South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique from VIP and legacy systems into SAP.

Moving forward, McCormick plans to run the entire group’s payroll from the new SAP system. Phase two of the project will introduce Employee and Manager Self Service through an online portal.

“We are excited to work closely with Northgate Arinso – We have worked well together in the past and the success of this implementation is immanent”, comments K5 Managing Director, David Bann.
