Air Niugini transforms payroll with Ramco Payce in four countries

Ramco Systems has completed the implementation of its Payce payroll platform for Air Niugini, Papua New Guinea's national airline, supporting payroll transformation for over 2,000 employees across four countries.

With this move, Air Niugini has replaced its previous payroll and time and attendance system, continuing its digital transformation initiatives aimed at enhancing its operations and employee experience. The Payce platform is designed to automate repetitive tasks, reduce payroll processing times, and alleviate the administrative burden associated with income tax compliance.

The solution also provides Air Niugini's central payroll team with a comprehensive view of its payroll operations, integrating seamlessly with the airline's new enterprise resource planning and human capital management applications to maintain the secure flow of information.

Operational changes

According to Air Niugini, the transition was motivated by the need to advance its digital capabilities and operational efficiency, particularly across multiple international locations where the airline operates. With the new platform now live, payroll teams are expected to benefit from greater visibility, actionable insights, and agility in managing employee data and compliance requirements.

Ramco Systems, based in Chennai, provides payroll and cloud-based enterprise solutions to clients in over 150 countries. With Air Niugini now operating Payce, the provider's platform continues to expand its coverage in the Asia-Pacific region.

Payroll platform features
