South Africa's number one performance reporting platform for the public sector.
SmartPMS runs your organisation's full non-financial reporting cycle, from strategic plan and APP to quarterly reports, evidence and audit, strictly aligned to the frameworks your reporting is measured against.
One golden thread, from mandate to evidence.
Auditors ask one question of your performance information: does it tie together? SmartPMS structures every plan, indicator and report along the golden thread, so the answer is always yes.
-
WHY WE EXIST
Constitutional and legislative mandate
The reason your institution exists, and the anchor every plan below it must trace back to.
-
WHERE WE ARE GOING
Five year strategic plan
Impact statements and outcomes with five year targets, structured to the Revised Framework.
-
WHAT WE WILL DELIVER
Annual performance plan and SDBIP
Outputs, output indicators and quarterly targets, each carrying a full technical indicator description.
-
WHAT WE ACHIEVED
Quarterly performance reporting
Actual achievement captured against target, with variance reasons and corrective measures.
-
HOW WE PROVE IT
Portfolio of evidence
Every reported figure carries its source documents, filed per indicator per quarter.
-
HOW IT STANDS UP
Assessment and audit
Internal review and sign off, then a clean trail for internal audit and the Auditor-General.
The whole reporting cycle in one system.
Plans, actuals, evidence and assessments live in one place, so the numbers in your quarterly report are the numbers in your annual report.
Plan
Capture strategic plans, APPs and SDBIPs: programmes, outcomes, outputs, indicators and quarterly targets, with technical indicator descriptions built in.
Report
Generate quarterly, mid year and annual performance reports straight from captured data, exportable to PDF and Excel.
Prove
File portfolios of evidence per indicator per quarter, so every figure in every report is backed the day you submit it.
Assess
Cascade the organisational scorecard into performance agreements, workplans and assessments for every employee.
Assure
Risk registers linked to objectives, internal audit assessments, and a full trail on every captured change.
Aligned to the letter of the frameworks.
SmartPMS is not generic software with a government skin. The data model is built from the frameworks themselves.
Framework for Managing Programme Performance Information
The results chain and indicator quality criteria that the FMPPI defines are the shape of the SmartPMS data model.
Revised Framework for Strategic Plans and APPs
Plans are captured in the Revised Framework's structure, with outcome and output indicators and quarterly targets.
Municipal planning and reporting reforms
Standardised municipal indicators and rationalised reporting, carried through the IDP, SDBIP and quarterly cycle.

Reporting on performance against predetermined objectives, ready for the annual report of departments and entities.
MFMA and Municipal Systems Act
SDBIP reporting, the section 72 mid year assessment and the annual performance report, generated from live data.
