In 2007, SAB South Africa implemented Absalom SmartHR to manage Core HR processes and consolidate HR data across its South African operations. The deployment of Absalom SmartHR established a centralized employee information store for the Consumer Packaged Goods firm, with the application name Absalom SmartHR and the Apps Category Core HR explicitly tied to HR record consolidation and access improvements.
Configuration centered on Core HR capabilities and Employee Self-Service functionality inferred from Absalom Systems product descriptions. Implementation included centralized master employee records, role based access controls for HR administrators and line managers, and employee facing self service for viewing and updating personal information, aligning with standard Core HR workflows for personnel actions and data maintenance.
Operational scope covered SAB South Africa's national HR footprint, consolidating disparate employee records into a single system of record to improve data quality and employee record access. The architecture emphasized a unified HR repository and browser based employee access consistent with Core HR patterns, supporting HR administration across sites and functions within the country.
Governance changes focused on establishing a single source of truth for employee data and standardizing record maintenance and access processes. The documented outcome from the reported deployment was improved data quality and better employee record access, reinforcing HR administrative control and employee serviceability through Absalom SmartHR.

| Infor | Legacy | Infor SCM | Supply Chain Management | SCM | n/a | 2009 | 2010 |
In 2009, SAB South Africa implemented Infor SCM, a Supply Chain Management application, to augment its existing ERP solution with a $1.2 million investment. The deployment was scoped to cover the brewer's core distribution and production footprint, targeting 70 warehouses and 12 production plants, with a phase two rollout planned to other SABMiller regions.
The implementation included Infor SCM Demand Planning alongside Infor SCM Advanced Planner and Infor SCM Advanced Scheduler, configured to drive sales and operations planning workflows and shorten planning cycles. Demand Planning was positioned to improve forecast accuracy and visibility of resources, while Advanced Planner and Advanced Scheduler were used to optimize and integrate medium term planning and short term scheduling across five soft drink plants and seven breweries.
Architecturally the Infor SCM deployment augmented the company ERP layer and centralized planning logic rather than decentralizing production by market. Planning logic was configured to evaluate transportation, production and inventory costs to determine the most cost effective plant for producing a given product for a given market, and scheduling capabilities were set up to maintain production continuity during maintenance or to scale capacity for sales promotions.
Operational governance was aligned to S&OP processes, with program management under Rudi Van Schoor driving the rollout and process adoption. SAB expected Infor SCM to increase demand forecast accuracy, improve resource visibility, enhance on time delivery performance and reduce excess inventory, outcomes that were cited as primary objectives for the Supply Chain Management implementation.
