How many parallel runs are needed?

Usually two to three clean cycles with differences explained. Going live without parallel runs is the most common cause of serious payroll incidents.

Do you handle payroll for multiple countries?

We design and implement multi-country payroll in the ERP or integrate local providers where statutory complexity makes that better, coordinating with local advisers on compliance.

How does a payroll management engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a payroll management engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

Payroll Management

We implement payroll with parallel runs before cutover, because going live unproven is the most common cause of serious payroll incidents. Pay elements, allowances and deductions are configured per country and entity, and statutory deductions and filings are set up in coordination with your compliance advisers rather than in isolation. Attendance, overtime and leave feed the calculation directly, so the inputs are not re-keyed and quietly corrupted. We run two to three clean parallel cycles with every difference explained, and set up correct posting to the ledger, so the first live run is a confirmation rather than a test.

In short

ERP payroll management calculates pay, deductions and statutory obligations and produces the required filings and ledger postings. It is unforgiving: an error is visible to every employee on payday and expensive to put right afterwards.

What we do

The work inside payroll management.

Pay structure design

We configure pay elements, allowances and deductions for each country and entity, so the structure reflects the terms people are actually paid on. A clean element design is what keeps the calculation transparent and auditable rather than a black box nobody can reconcile.

Statutory compliance

We configure statutory deductions, filings and reporting in coordination with your tax and legal advisers, who remain responsible for the compliance position. The system is set up to produce the required filings reliably, with the interpretation left to those qualified to give it.

Attendance and leave integration

We integrate attendance, overtime and leave so they feed the payroll calculation directly rather than being transcribed by hand. Removing that re-keying removes a common source of error and much of the month-end correction effort.

Parallel runs and posting

We run parallel payroll for two to three clean cycles, explaining every difference until the result is trusted, and configure correct posting to the ledger. Parallel running is the step that proves accuracy before real pay depends on it, and we treat it as non-negotiable.

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand the business drivers, decision rights, existing systems, and what the programme must genuinely change. We separate the outcomes that justify the investment from features that only sound useful, so the programme has a purpose to steer by.
02
Assess
Review process, data, integration, controls, governance, and change readiness against the plan. We report plainly where the plan holds and where it depends on assumptions that need evidence before commitment.
03
Design
Set out target processes, control requirements, data approach, integration model, and adoption plan. Each is documented well enough to build to and to hold a delivery partner accountable against.
04
Deliver
Support configuration, testing, cutover, and stabilisation, with independent oversight throughout. We hold the line on scope, data readiness, and controls, and surface drift while there is still time to correct it.

Manufacturing & Production Planning

ERP manufacturing and production planning covers bills of material, routings, planning and shop floor execution. It only works on accurate foundations: when BOMs, routings and capacity data do not match the plant, the plan is visibly unworkable and the floor reverts to the whiteboard.

Project Management

ERP project management tracks project structure, budgets, costs, billing and revenue recognition. Its value is in making cost and revenue visible during delivery, when there is still time to act, rather than at completion when an overrun is only a finding.

Asset Management

ERP asset management tracks fixed assets, depreciation, maintenance and disposal across their life. A register that cannot be tied back to the physical assets it claims to represent eventually fails audit, however tidy it looks on screen.
