Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has taken a monumental step towards modernizing its operations by implementing SAP Financials and SAP HCM and Payroll modules. This strategic move enables KMC to efficiently manage employees’ salaries and pensions, benefiting over 12,000 employees and 22,000 pensioners.The deployment of SAP applications at KMC introduces a range of salient features, including the Employee Data Base, which allows for seamless management of employee information. Additionally, the system facilitates processes such as new employee on boarding, capturing detailed employee information, handling employee movements (transfer and recruitment), and managing organizational assignments.
The integration with other HR components such as country-specific payroll applications (Net Pay, Gross Pay, Total Deductions, etc.) and financial accounting further enhances the efficiency and accuracy of operations. Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab held the digitalization of processes as a great step towards stronger efficiency. Commending this initiative, he said, “This milestone reflects our commitment to harnessing technology for the betterment of our workforce.
The implementation of SAP applications will not only streamline the operations but will also pave the way for enhanced service delivery to the people of Karachi. KMC is the only local council in Pakistan, where employees’ salaries and pensions have been shifted to the SAP system.
This application will ensure transparency and expediency in employees’ affairs.” Saquib Ahmad, Managing Director, SAP Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan, commended KMC for its forward-thinking approach towards digital transformation.He stated, “We are proud to partner with KMC in this significant leap towards digitalizing public service. This initiative exemplifies and reinforces the power of technology to revolutionize operations and ensure efficiency in public administration.”
