What challenge was Cape Union Mart trying to solve?
Cape Union Mart’s manual payroll processes used to take four full days to complete and required costly external consultants to ensure compliance. Cape Union Mart’s legacy payroll system created costly inefficiencies.
“Our old payroll used to take up to four days, and we were constantly relying on outside consultants just to keep things moving. We needed a simpler way to manage payroll ourselves.”
–Brendan Keogh, System Analyst, Cape Union Mart
How did Deel Local Payroll, powered by PaySpace solve the problem?
With Deel Local Payroll, powered by PaySpace, the retailer transformed its payroll into a fully automated, cloud-based process. The internal team now manages payroll independently, with real-time compliance checks built in. The company adopted Deel Local Payroll to streamline and internalise payroll operations. The platform offered real-time compliance updates and an intuitive interface, enabling the payroll and HR team to take full control.
“Our payroll now runs in half a day instead of four, there’s no downtime, and even our store staff can access everything on mobile.”
–Brendan Keogh, System Analyst, Cape Union Mart
What results did Cape Union Mart achieve?
Payroll that once took four days now runs in just half a day, an 87% time saving. More than 3,000 employees are paid on time and with complete accuracy. Mobile access also means store staff can retrieve payslips and tax certificates whenever they need them. Cape Union Mart reduced costs, improved compliance, and eliminated external dependencies.
“With Deel Local Payroll, we’ve taken full ownership. We no longer depend on external consultants every time something changes.”
–Brendan Keogh, System Analyst, Cape Union Mart
