B-BBEE Management Software
This is it: The online software solution your organisation needs to manage your B-BBEE simply and strategically.
We know because we developed it and it’s grown into South Africa’s market-leading B-BBEE solution.
Visualise, for example, automating huge chunks of your B-BBEE workflow, enabling easy collaboration within teams, and creating real efficiencies.
Consider that all your data could be easily accessed by authorised individuals, and kept up to date with the latest legislation, via our secure and POPI-compliant web-based platform.
Imagine your B-BBEE decision-making becoming more strategic, with reliable data and powerful reporting to support your business choices. With BEE123, it’s all possible.
Calculating and understanding one’s B-BBEE score prior to audit is essential. With the BEE123 Scorecard Calculator this becomes easy. Simply enter a few numbers and the software will do the rest.
Prior to making any business decisions, the Scenario Planning Tool will quantify exactly how your B-BBEE Score will be affected should you take such steps.
Gap Analysis and Own Target Set measures performance relative to specified targets (either those per the Codes or your Own) and highlights shortfalls or over-performance. In addition, it converts complex percentage targets into practical measurement indicators such as Rand Values or headcount targets.
The Scorecard Compare feature allows users to compare the current scorecard with prior year results or even scorecards across divisions, on a side-by-side basis. This allows you to easily assess and track change, movement and progress made on your B-BBEE Scorecard.
When creating a new scorecard, you can now select to Rollover data from an existing scorecard. This function will pre-populate your new scorecard with the relevant data that remains unchanged (i.e. ownership and management control), thereby ensuring an easy transition from one verification period to the next without the need to recapture from scratch every year.
Getting your file ready for your B-BBEE audit needn’t be a daunting task. Collate and store all the required supporting documentation with our Online Document Management System. No more paper based BEE files!
At the touch of a button, the Verification tool generates the verification spreadsheets, fully populated with all of your relevant data that your verification agency will require to conduct the B-BBEE Audit. This saves administration time and resources.
The BEE123 Consolidation Tool allows for the consolidation of multiple entities or divisional scorecards, thereby ensuring that B-BBEE performance can be assessed at an individual or group level. The BEE123 Consolidation Tool has a sophisticated rule selection functionality, allowing for customised consolidation, catering to any group structure inclusive of cross sector consolidation, at the click of a button.

Sensitive user information is encrypted when stored on the BEE123 database, ensuring that this data cannot be viewed by unauthorised individuals. The implementation of the latest security and authorisation capabilities endorsed by Microsoft, ensures that the BEE123 system has a powerful identity management system. Authentication occurs over SSL and is token-based. User Management allows you to control and specify what access the additional users will have.
Much of your relevant B-BBEE data will already be housed in another system (e.g. your accounting or payroll & HR systems). Moving this data across into BEE123 becomes easy with our Integration technology. In basic terms, APIs allow applications to communicate with one another – APIs define the rules that programmers must follow in order to interact with BEE123.
The User Management System allows you to control and specify what access to the BEE123 system your users will have, truly ensuring the segmentation and protection of sensitive information.
Our notes function serves to create a Task Management Functionality whereby tasks can be assigned to users. This creates a complete overview of what needs to be done, by when and by whom, not only ensuring that you are on top of things, but that users are accountable to deliver.
For B-BBEE audit purposes, granular level information is required to be provided. Simply capture your BEE activities and interventions directly into the BEE123 Software and this information will automatically be consolidated, tabulated and fed directly into the Scorecard Calculator.
The BEE123 System has been enhanced with new features and functionality to systematically forecast, track and manage your YES Programs, including YES target calculations and prerequisite tracking throughout the year.
The Group Data Management Module allows for the flow of data relating to interventions that are recorded at Head Office or Group level, but which need to be allocated to Subsidiary scorecards.
Our Templates section houses a repository of prerequisite templates that need to be in place for your B-BBEE audit.
The BEE123 Knowledge Centre explains B-BBEE concepts, terminology and formula in simple English, with plenty of practical tips, tricks and guidance.
