Many businesses struggle to optimise their procurement processes for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) compliance, clinging to traditional methods that underestimate the power of readily available technology solutions.
When facing a challenge, it’s crucial to consider all perspectives to identify the most effective path to success. In our role as consultants, we frequently encounter situations where individuals are so entrenched in their existing work processes that they fail to effectively utilise the tools readily available to them. This is most commonly seen with BEE calculators. While valuable, they shouldn’t be the only tool used. They can be so much more than simply calculating your BEE Points. When used correctly they become a system that helps you manage your different scenario planning while managing the 18 month long plus process of BEE Verification Preparation.

BEE calculators are a valuable tool, but they shouldn’t be the end of the story. Being part of the Signa Group gives us a unique advantage. We have access to solutions that address every element of the scorecard, which includes a powerful BEE management system. This allows us to offer our clients a truly effective and holistic solution, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the significant benefits it brings. It empowers you to:
- Plan and Budget: Develop a clear and achievable BEE strategy with the help of scenario planning tools.
- Optimise Spending: Calculate your “cost per point” to understand the most impactful ways to invest in BEE compliance.
