GTS, now acquired by iSON Technologies has made Property Management, Maintenance and Leasing simpler with our Oracle Property and CRM solutions. iSON GTS is fully equipped and continues to add value to its client base in the construction and real-estate sector across these four areas.

Through this implementation, DWTC is geared up to have a unified view of the tenant contracts and agreements. The system enables DWTC to intelligently manage their real estate portfolio by streamlining and automating lease administration and space management. The objective of the project was to implement a system to manage the DWTC properties in terms of Customer Relationship Management, Pre-Leasing, Leasing and Property Management and Billing and also eliminate many of the manual processes and automate the tasks and reminders at different milestones. Mr. Asif, Application Director, DWTC comments: In iSON GTS we had an able partner and because of their expertise in Real Estate industry they could bring their value adds to the table which helped us to complete the project in a short timeframe of 5 months.

Talking more about the project, Muhammad, Practice head, Oracle Apps & Technology, iSON GTS comments,

“DWTC being one of the major Oracle customers, is a very prestigious account for us. We approached the project with lot of care since the solution had to cover diverse business areas including Leasing of Retail, Commercial and Residential Properties, House Keeping Contracts, Car Parking (Summer Promotion/Membership), Valet & Parking Agreements, Lease of Advertising Board and Theater Leasing”.

Kalidhas, iSON GTS, Real Estate SME and Project Manager adds

“Real Estate is one of the verticals in which iSON GTS demonstrates its expertise but we still approach each project on its merits. Each project is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. In case of DWTC Project, time line was a constraint and the client expected us to deliver the project in 5 months including the additional customization and we are happy we were able to deliver the same in the defined timeframe.”

Austen-Peters & Co, one of Nigeria’s leading law firms, has automated its payroll and human resources processes by implementing Sage Pastel Partner Payroll & HR. Softcodes International is the Sage business partner that helped implement the software.

The commercial law firm, based in Lagos, uses Sage’s Evolution ERP software as its financial system. Choosing Sage Pastel Payroll & HR was a natural step forward for the company since the software integrates tightly with Sage Evolution.

Says Akinlabi Mojirade, Head of Accounts at Austen-Peters & Co:

“Automating our payroll has made it faster and easier for us to process our payroll each month, and we have been impressed by how much we can achieve now compared to when we were running payroll off an Excel spreadsheet. Implementation of the product was simple and quick.”

With the new payroll and HR software in place, Austen-Peters & Co can print professional payslips and keep payroll information backed-up and secure in a database. The software supports local legal and tax requirements and saves time by eliminating much of the data capture the team used to need to do in the past.

Oyedeji Qasim, Partner at Softcodes International, says:

“Austen-Peters & Co is the first customer in Nigeria to experience the seamless integration of payroll solution with Sage Evolution. The integration between the accounting and payroll software streamlines administration for our client and ensures that it has more control and visibility over its finances.”

Adds Magnus Nmonwu, Regional Director for Sage in West Africa:

“As a champion for business builders across Africa, Sage aims to help small businesses like Austen-Peters & Co perform at their best. We are making accounting and payroll so easy that it becomes invisible – that means our clients can focus on growing their business rather than on handling red-tape.”
