About Us

SERR Synergy currently employs in excess of 450 people and has a national footprint with offices in Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Upington. We envisage expanding our footprint with additional offices in other areas of South Africa in the near future.

We take the “synergy” in our name seriously and pride ourselves on being the leader in our field of expertise, collaborating with businesses to ensure that we deliver services that are synchronised, affordable, easy to understand and flexible. We work in partnership with businesses and every project we embark on with a client must be able to be positioned within a broader strategy of that company. The strategy is executed on a strict budget and timeline, with a strong emphasis on the results and rewards emanating from those activities.

Our overall aim is to assist you in developing your business to operate both legitimately and sustainably and at the same time benefit from South Africa’s unique economic landscape.

Our Methodology

Our holistic solutions swiftly guide businesses through South Africa’s business legislation maze in the direction of greatness.

  • We do not tick boxes but encourage initiatives with substance.
  • Our unique business approach is founded on the principle that we not only ensure legislation compliance for enterprises, but also assign to each client a specialist project manager who fully understands the enterprise’s requirements, in order to synchronise all activities and services relating to risk aversion.
  • We only use the latest project management software and tools to assist businesses in achieving all compliance elements of legislation by monitoring processes daily and providing our clients with a progress report on a regular basis.
  • Our unique services are in demand with business owners who seek to minimise the risk associated with South Africa’s business legislation in order to grow their business, and to take advantage and be part of the country’s countless business opportunities.
  • We have a specific interest in bridging the gap between what our clients want and what business legislation requires. One of our strengths is that we follow certain processes to understand how a client’s business operates and how its organisational objectives are integrated.
  • We take the time to comprehend the relationship that businesses have with their clients and suppliers. Our starting point is always to understand the challenges our clients are faced with, which further assists us in recognising their business processes and to propose the most cost-effective and practical way forward that will benefit them.

Our methodology assures that all steps, from business transformation to implementation to the adoption of best practice legislation, are fully taken care of.
