At a recent awards function hosted by payroll and HR solutions provider Softline VIP, ERS Biometrics was also recognised as the top business partner of the year in the time & attendance industry category.
At the same awards, local electronic design and manufacture company, Trac-Tech, was the recipient of the VIP Payroll Business Partner of the Year award for 2012 in the Western Cape.
“Trac-Tech has the highest possible level of partnership – Silver Business Partner. This means that the company is required to provide VIP with five to ten referrals per quarter and one sale of a VIP product. Trac-Tech far exceeds these quotas on a consistent basis, making it the obvious choice for this year’s award,” said Christelle Els, business partner consultant at VIP.
According to Els, the awards are determined strictly by statistics gathered throughout a 12-month period, based on the generation of sales, either as a result of referrals to third-party companies or direct purchases by the company for a third party.
