I am unbelievably proud to kick this communication off with the introduction of our new Change Systems website! After eight incredible years of being in business, we decided that it was high time that we took all the learnings and experiences, that we’ve had the privilege of accumulating, and showcase it through a refreshed digital image.
Change Systems has changed. Our life experiences have, in a manner similar to the treatment of leather, tanned and textured our approach and growth was inevitable – especially when I consider the impact that our international work has had on our perspective and energy.

WayEx Pty Ltd was a manufacturing and mining company, which was regarded as a leader in its industry. Its existing ERP system had been in place for over 10 years, and during this time there had been no significant change to the original design of the solution.

At the time, WayEx employed 6000 employees and operated across 14 different geographical locations in South Africa and 2 locations international ...
