Put your HR & Payroll data to work.

Specialist Sage HR & Payroll services.

The core practice: keeping your Sage HR & Payroll environment accurate, compliant and connected — delivered by someone who has spent twenty years inside the ecosystem.

Payroll Outsourcing

Hand the monthly run to specialists who know the Sage payroll engines inside out — inputs, processing, statutory filing and payslips.

HR & Payroll Consulting

Independent advice on process, compliance and system configuration — from someone who has sat on both the vendor and the client side of the table.

Sage Systems Specialist Support

Product-level expertise across Sage 300 People, Payroll Professional, VIP Premier and Payroll Advanced — including the edge cases generalist support misses.

Integration & Automation

Connect Sage HR & Payroll to time & attendance, finance, ESS/MSS and third-party systems, and take the manual steps out of the process.

Need something that isn't listed?

The practice is expanding. If what you need sits somewhere between these services, ask anyway — the answer is usually yes.

Training

Financial literacy your staff can actually use.

Basic Employee Financial Literacy workshops that help staff read a payslip, understand deductions, tax and UIF, and make better decisions about debt, savings and retirement contributions — delivered by someone who has run the payroll that lands in people's bank accounts.

  • Reading a payslip with confidence
  • PAYE, UIF and deductions explained plainly
  • Debt, savings and retirement basics
Why Graytan

Where the big vendor stops, we start.

  • 1

    Two decades of Sage-specific fluency

  • 2

    Solutions, not just support

    Dashboards, an AI assistant and WhatsApp self-service, built around your existing system — so the investment you've already made in Sage works harder.

  • 3

    Sales-side and delivery-side experience

    Years as both a senior sales consultant and a sales leader mean the business case gets as much attention as the technical build.

  • 4

    Independent, local and POPIA-aware

    Sized to move faster than a large vendor, built with South African data protection in mind, and accountable to you directly.

About

Built by someone who has sat on both sides of the table.

Graytan Solutions was founded by Ancel Draai after two decades inside the Sage ecosystem — as a consultant, a senior sales consultant, a sales manager and later a sales director. Graytan brings that expertise to businesses without the overhead of a large vendor relationship, closing the gap between what the software delivers out of the box and what a growing business actually needs.

Today that means two things at once: keeping Sage HR & Payroll environments accurate and compliant, and building the modern layer on top — dashboards, AI support and WhatsApp self-service — that turns payroll from a monthly obligation into something the whole business benefits from.
