From Paperwork to Digital Payroll Confidence
Intercare, a fast-growing healthcare provider in South Africa, selected Deel Local Payroll to manage a complex, multi-entity payroll structure. The cloud-based solution empowers hybrid work and enables in-house control of onboarding new companies.
What challenge was Intercare trying to solve?
Intercare’s rapid expansion introduced significant administrative complexity. With nearly 70 companies on record, each with its own PAYE and UIF number, managing payroll had become unsustainable on their previous locally-hosted system. As Intercare rapidly expanded across South Africa, its traditional payroll systems could not keep pace. Manual processes and paper-heavy admin created bottlenecks at a time when agility mattered most, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when remote access became business-critical.
“Intercare’s rapid growth made it incredibly complex to keep track of all our companies. It just was not possible on our previous payroll system.”
–Mariska Dacey, Payroll Officer, Intercare
How did Deel Local Payroll, powered by PaySpace solve the problem?
Intercare implemented Deel Local Payroll to streamline payroll operations. As a cloud-based platform, Deel Local Payroll eliminated the need for manual software updates and allowed the payroll team to operate flexibly, even remotely. By partnering with Deel Local Payroll, Intercare gained a secure, cloud-native payroll solution. The system provided real-time access for HR teams, seamless compliance management, and the flexibility to scale as new clinics joined the group.
