What does DAS do?
DAS is a South African business process automation and outsourcing company. We automate document-heavy processes such as accounts payable, proof of delivery reconciliation, customer onboarding and records processing, and we can run those processes for you as a managed service.
What is the difference between business process automation and business process outsourcing?
Business process automation (BPA) uses software to perform repeatable steps such as data capture, matching and approvals. Business process outsourcing (BPO) hands the whole process to a provider. DAS offers both, and many clients combine them: DAS technology automates most of the work, and the DAS team handles the rest on agreed service levels.
Which systems does DAS integrate with?
DAS integrates with leading ERP and financial platforms including SAP, Oracle, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics and JD Edwards, as well as billing, HR, GIS and custom line-of-business systems.
How quickly will we see a return?
Implementation times are short and billing models are flexible. Accounts payable automation typically delivers ROI within 12 months, and one SAP-integrated project went live in under 120 days.
Where does DAS operate?
DAS is headquartered in Oaklands, Johannesburg, and delivers solutions across South Africa and the African continent — on premise, in the cloud, self-managed or outsourced.
