How Beaumont Property streamlined its system with Deel

Beaumont Property Group está formado por siete empresas que venden, alquilan y administran propiedades comerciales en la región noroeste de Sídney. Fundada en 1987, es una organización familiar y la más grande y antigua de su tipo en el área.

Cuando se fundó Beaumont Property Group en 1987, comprendía dos negocios: una agencia inmobiliaria y una empresa de gestión de estratos. En marzo de 2023, el Grupo había incorporado otros cinco negocios bajo su control, lo que eleva el total a siete.

For the company’s accountants, who had taken care of the payroll for 36 years, this presented two challenges. First, it was time-consuming. “The accountants’ job wasn’t specifically payroll, so they were trying to set aside time here and there to do it,” says Robert Odenthal, Group Financial Controller.

Second, errors started appearing. “Little things were being missed regularly. It was nothing terrible and didn’t stop our businesses from running, but to the employee who sees a mistake or doesn’t receive their payslip, it’s important. Our reputation with our staff was affected. When little things are missed, people start to wonder what else is being missed.”

Rather than risk its reputation with its employees, Beaumont Group decided it was time to make a move. Given that its accountants lacked the specialist skills required to handle such a large payroll, the company decided to outsource. “Initially, because we’re a family business, we were looking to work with a small, local business,” says Robert, “But the ones we spoke to were anxious about the challenges they’d face in moving our old system to a new one.”

However, when Robert spoke to PayGroup by Deel, it was an entirely different story. “It was like, ‘We’ve done this before, we’ll do it again,'” he says. “A great level of confidence was communicated.”

Esta confianza surge del enfoque organizado y sistemático de PayGroup by Deel, así como de los conocimientos y la experiencia de su personal". Su enfoque para la transición de nuestro sistema a uno nuevo parecía muy procedimental", afirma Robert. “Nos dieron una serie de preguntas, plazos muy específicos y un plan sobre cómo fluiría”. Para el 1 de julio, en un plazo de tres meses, PayGroup había transferido, como se prometió, toda la información relevante a una nueva base de datos. Para el 14 de julio, el sistema estaba en funcionamiento.

“Everything they said would happen did happen,” says Robert. On top of being incredibly efficient, PayGroup by Deel communicated clearly and regularly, and provided extensive support throughout the process. This meant Robert and his team were never in doubt.

“For the first three payrolls, the implementation team held our hand, and were very responsive,” he says. “Any time we had questions or difficulties, I knew I could send an email and very promptly get a response, or get on the phone and talk through whatever issues we had.”

El cambio de Beaumont a PayGroup by Deel le ha ayudado a ofrecer pagos, datos e informes precisos y legales a través de una compleja variedad de acuerdos de trabajo, desde roles ocasionales hasta roles basados en premios. El sistema interpreta automáticamente los premios, eliminando la posibilidad de error humano.

Employees have also regained trust in the system (and their employer). In fact, they enjoy using it, particularly the PayGroup by Deel mobile app. “The feedback from the staff is that it’s so easy to use and gives them all the right payroll information,” says Robert.
