Preceda Is Sunsetting. Most Organisations Leave This Decision Too Late.

We work with large Australian enterprises to define their payroll requirements, evaluate the market and manage the transition to a new system. With no affiliation to any vendor.

Here Is How We Help

We are engaged by you, and our only interest is finding the right system for your workforce.

Requirements Definition

We work with your team to build a detailed requirements document covering award complexity, multi-entity structure, integration requirements, Payday Super readiness and workforce composition. You go into vendor conversations knowing exactly what you are looking for, so you evaluate platforms on your terms rather than theirs.

Market Scan and Vendor Evaluation

We assess the full Australian market against your requirements. Dayforce, Workday, Humanforce, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG and others, evaluated consistently. You receive a vendor shortlist, a relevant RFP, a procurement plan and a comprehensive evaluation report, so you make a decision based on fit rather than on who presented best.

Enterprise Agreement and Award Interpretation

Before a single pay rule is configured, we map your current pay conditions against your awards and agreements. We identify where Preceda was doing the heavy lifting, where your team has been compensating manually, and what needs to be built correctly the first time.

Implementation Oversight

We provide client-side oversight alongside your vendor’s implementation team. We run parallel payroll testing, validate outputs against your existing data and catch configuration issues before they reach your payroll output. You go live with confidence rather than crossed fingers.

Testing and Validation

Regression testing after system updates. Parallel testing for pay rule changes. UAT support for new configurations. Making sure your workbooks reflect how your business actually pays people before you cut over.

Project Recovery

Already mid-implementation and things are not tracking? We are regularly brought in to reset off-track projects. We identify what is blocking delivery, remove the barriers and realign the project before the problems compound.

How We Engage

Go-To-Market Advisory

A structured, end-to-end process from requirements definition through to vendor selection and contract negotiation. Typically runs eight to twelve weeks. The right starting point if you have not yet committed to a platform.

Implementation Oversight

Client-side advisory during your platform implementation. We work alongside your vendor’s project team to protect your compliance requirements and validate configuration before go-live.

Project Recovery

Brought in mid-project when things are off track. We assess what has gone wrong, stabilise the project and get delivery back on course.

Why Organisations Engage Us

Your internal payroll team should be running payroll, not troubleshooting system configuration.

  1. Vendor agnostic

    We are implementation partners with several leading payroll platforms, which means we know them from the inside. But our vendor selection advice is independent and we’re always serving you.

  2. Australian compliance expertise

    A platform replacement is not just an IT project. It requires deep knowledge of Australian awards, enterprise agreements, superannuation and Payday Super obligations. That is what we bring.

  3. Senior people do the work

    We are not a large consulting firm where a partner wins the work and a graduate delivers it. When you engage us, experienced payroll practitioners run your engagement.

  4. We know where these projects fail

    We have worked on remediations for some of Australia’s largest employers. We know the configuration errors, the compliance gaps and the go-live risks before they materialise.
