The whole business in one ERP. Built for South Africa from day one.

A proper CRM is built in — not a separate tool your sales notes live and die in. Every enquiry becomes a record with its whole story attached: the calls, the quote, the follow-ups, the eventual order. And because it’s all one system, a quote becomes an order, a delivery and an invoice without anyone retyping a line.

• Every lead and enquiry captured, with follow-ups that don’t depend on memory
• The full customer story in one view — quotes, orders, invoices, payments, conversations
• Quote → order → delivery → invoice in one flow, no recapturing
• See your pipeline honestly: what’s open, what’s stalling, what’s won

Purchasing stops being a paper trail between three people. Orders go to suppliers from the system, deliveries are received against those orders, and supplier bills only get paid when they match what landed on your floor.

• Purchase orders linked to the stock and jobs they’re for
• Goods received against the order — shortages and overcharges caught at the door
• Supplier history and pricing at your fingertips when negotiating
• Supplier bills flow straight into the books, no re-keying

Stronghold covers the everyday operational muscle most businesses need out of the box: live stock, multiple stores or warehouses, and real production runs. When an operation needs serious depth in one of these, Renegade Depot (advanced warehousing) and Renegade Forge (advanced manufacturing) extend this exact core.

• Live stock levels across every warehouse, store or van — one true picture
• Batch and serial-number tracking where your products need it
• Bills of materials and work orders for production — know what a run really costs
• Deliveries and jobs tracked as they happen, not reconstructed at day-end

A full accounting backbone sits under everything — every sale, purchase and payment lands in the ledger the moment it happens, audit trail included. And the South African part is done right: VAT isn’t a setting someone hopefully configured, it’s engineered in. When SARS asks, the answer is a report, not a project.

• The right VAT treatment applied automatically on every sale and purchase
• Invoices that meet SARS’ requirements — so your customers can claim their input VAT without phoning you
• Unbroken, sequential invoice numbering — nothing to explain in an audit
• The system warns you before something non-compliant goes out, not after
• Return figures that tie back to the books, to the cent

The complete employee journey lives in the same system as the rest of the business — records, leave, payroll, payslips. Payroll gets the South African details right without anyone babysitting it: PAYE with rebates and medical credits, the Employment Tax Incentive claimed when you qualify, and payslips your people recognise and trust.

• PAYE calculated correctly — rebates, medical tax credits and directives included
• The Employment Tax Incentive claimed automatically for qualifying staff — money you’re entitled to
• Monthly and year-end submissions prepared for you: EMP201, UIF, IRP5s ready for e@syFile, the EMP501 reconciliation and COIDA return
• One guarantee worth underlining: the number on screen and the number in the submission always agree — one calculation, one truth
• Leave that follows South African law out of the box, public holidays loaded automatically, your own policies layered on top

For most businesses, B-BBEE is a panic that starts when a customer asks for a certificate. Stronghold tracks all five scorecard elements continuously, through to the scorecard itself — so the evidence accumulates while you operate, and your level is something you check, not something you commission.

• All five elements tracked: ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise & supplier development, socio-economic development
• Your scorecard position visible all year round
• Tender-ready: the numbers are there when the opportunity is

For work that runs longer than an order — installations, builds, client engagements — projects tie the whole story together: the tasks, the people, the hours, the materials and the money, all against one project record instead of a plan in one place and the costs in another.

• Projects broken into tasks with owners and deadlines — everyone knows what’s next
• Timesheets captured against tasks, so labour cost is real, not estimated
• Materials, expenses and purchases linked to the project they’re for
• Profitability visible while the project runs — not discovered when it’s too late to fix

Your assets stop living in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. Every vehicle, machine, tool and laptop gets a record from the day it’s bought to the day it’s sold or scrapped: who has it, where it is, what it’s worth on the books, and when it’s next due for service.

• A complete asset register — location, custodian and condition, always current
• Depreciation calculated automatically, in step with your books
• Maintenance schedules and repair history per asset — breakdowns stop being surprises
• Purchases, transfers, revaluations and disposals recorded with a full paper trail

For many South African operations quality isn’t optional: big customers audit their suppliers, tenders ask for certifications, and export markets want proof. Stronghold builds quality management into the daily flow — inspections happen where the work happens, and the evidence accumulates while you operate.

• Quality inspections at goods-in, in production and before dispatch — pass/fail captured at the source
• Your quality procedures and checklists live in the system, versioned and actually followed
• Non-conformances logged, investigated and closed, with a traceable history
• When an ISO/SANS audit or a customer’s supplier audit arrives, the evidence is a report — not a scramble
