Serving manufacturing and distribution industries since 1978

Overview of our history
The Early Years
From humble premises to the global stage
Embracing mobile, cloud and digital transformation
1978
The dawn of a new era
Phil Duff and his brother Chris start SYSPRO in a garage with just a few dollars in their back pockets, little knowing their company would evolve into a global operation. Chris has a contract with ICL to develop and sell applications around STARS II, one of the first real-time accounting and reporting packages in the world, on the ICL System 10 platform. Together, the brothers start developing applications for the STARS II Accounting system.
1979
Chris and Phil continue to develop and sell SYSPRO modules which were integrated into STARS 11. This included developing a purchase orders module as well as the PAYPAC payroll system.
1980
The team of developers grows by 50% (to 3!) and starts to develop Bill of Materials and Work in Progress modules.
A new manufacturing consultancy offering, SYSPRO Management Services, is formed. This was the start of a lifelong focus on the manufacturing industry which has remained a strength throughout SYSPRO’s growth and evolution as an organization.
The company also establishes SYSPRO Data Services, a computer bureau.
Fun Fact: SYSPRO started out with second-hand furniture!
1981
SYSPRO’s workforce continues to grow, and the company acquires the South African rights to distribute SAFES, a UK-based manufacturing system. SYSPRO also collaborates with SAFES to integrate the system into ICL’s STARS II accounting and reporting system.
SYSPRO Data Services focuses on customer accounts, label printing and payroll, including wages and pay slip printing.
1982
The first step onto the global stage
By enhancing STARS II to run on the ICL System 25, SYSPRO gains significant traction in South Africa and the UK. This leads to the establishment of a SYSPRO office in the UK.
SYSPRO releases the enhanced system, STARS III, in mid-1982, more than a year ahead of ICL’s version which was developed in Australia. The development team includes additional space in the database design as well as extra fields to improve the integration of STARS III into SYSPRO’s own software modules.
STARS III was the first sign of SYSPRO’s commitment to designing for future enhancements and ease of integration. The company’s development approach, which continues to this day, provides an environment that allows for innovation, and this innovation translates to progressive solutions across the spectrum of business domains.
1983
Heralding IMPACT, SYSPRO’s 1st flagship product
Demonstrating its future focus, SYSPRO decides to convert STARS to run on Unix minicomputers. It acquires the STARS source code, which was written in Assembler, a low-level programming language. The development team starts converting STARS to Micro Focus COBOL and creating IMPACT (Integrated Manufacturing for Production and Accounting ConTrol), SYSPRO’s first flagship product.
In addition to the UK office, SYSPRO is now operating out of both Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa. The Johannesburg team moved to new premises in Randburg.
Fun Fact: SYSPRO software once ran on a computer with less memory than a modern smartphone

The staff complement continues to grow at a steady pace as the first 3 modules of IMPACT are installed at Sandton Clinic, a Unix site in Johannesburg.

The company’s growth continues unabated, forming SYSPRO Canada, SYSPRO USA and SYSPRO International, based in the UK. In those early days, the SYSPRO USA team would typically do 3 demos a day, covering thousands of miles on the road and in the air. From San Deigo, California to South Bend, Indiana, from Chicago to Miami, the journey created a force to be reckoned with in the USA ERP manufacturing world.
IMPACT IV emerges as one of the most powerful and comprehensive multi-module software systems available. In addition to financial management facilities, enhancements to IMPACT include job costing and manufacturing capabilities. SYSPRO celebrates the 600th IMPACT site in South Africa.
