SysCorp, a technology solutions provider in Uganda, has been serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses in the region since 1988. A recent challenge for the company’s customers involved manual payroll tax calculation, which was time-consuming and prone to error. SysCorp collaborated with Microsoft partner KAISPE, whose FlexPayroll add-in for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance automated the calculation process. This resulted in a 90 percent improvement in operational efficiency, and SysCorp's customers were able to comply with regulatory requirements.
Tackling a thorny tax problem
SysCorp prides itself on its ability to offer a wide range of software products and services that cater to the specific needs of its clients. One of the critical pain points for many customers was the payroll tax calculation process. Manually calculating payroll taxes was complex, time-consuming, and required significant resources. On top of that, the process was prone to error, which resulted in discrepancies in employee tax deductions and led to compliance issues with the Ugandan tax authority. SysCorp sought a solution that could automate the payroll tax calculation process and reduce the time and effort required to complete it.
A solution powered by Dynamics 365
SysCorp's search for a solution led it to partner with KAISPE, a software development company headquartered in New York. KAISPE, which specializes in building add-ins for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, had an add-in designed for payroll tax computations, FlexPayroll.
Available on Microsoft AppSource, FlexPayroll provides an intuitive formula and rule-based functionality to compute payroll tax contributions and deductions. The powerful tax engine is easy to use and calculates payroll tax deductions and contributions as part of the payroll run. It lets users define taxation rules and subrules, such as employees' personal details, earning codes, or tax components, and it delivers end-to-end support for payroll processing with source document distribution and tax authority invoicing.
SysCorp was impressed with its features and functionalities.
Revolutionizing payroll tax calculations for Ugandan businesses
SysCorp implemented FlexPayroll for its customers, and the solution proved to be a game-changer. The automation of the payroll tax calculation process resulted in a 90 percent improvement in operational efficiency.
“KAISPE’s FlexPayroll makes payroll processing painless,” said Peter O. Ongaria, CEO, SysCorp. “It's a highly configurable and simple add-on that handles complexity with ease. It also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, thus making both payroll and accounting a breeze.”
The time it took SysCorp customers to complete the tax calculation process was significantly reduced, and the likelihood of errors was minimized. As a result, SysCorp's customers were able to comply with the Ugandan tax authority’s requirements more easily, reducing the risk of penalties and fines.
“With this solution, SysCorp's customers were able to focus on their core business activities, confident that their payroll tax calculations were accurate and compliant with regulatory requirements,” Ongaria said.
“Our FlexPayroll solution is designed to simplify the payroll process for businesses, and we were thrilled to see it made such a positive impact on SysCorp Ltd.,” said Imran Mahmood, CEO, KAISPE. “By automating their customer payroll processes, they were able to save time and reduce errors, allowing them to focus on their core business objectives.
