History
Touchstone was registered on 1st November 1989, and moved into the newly built No. 1 Raleigh Street, in the fast-developing Kopje area of Harare.  Its neighbours, Fidelity Life Tower, and the Net One building were built several years later.

Touchstone took over the assets and payroll licencing  of MICROPAC (Pvt) Ltd, a company started by Simon Pitt and Alistair Watermeyer in 1984.

The Managing Director of Touchstone is  Zimbabwean-born,  Simon Pitt.

From 6 staff and 50 Payplus users in 1989 Touchstone now has 17 staff and agents, and a customer base of over 750 clients in the Southern African region. 
 
In addition to its agents in Zimbabwe, Touchstone has appointed agents in Zambia and Botswana and has a growing number of PayDay clients in the region. Medium-term plans are to expand this customer base, as and when the local support persons are trained.

All Touchstone staff receive customer service and payroll training, so each member has several skills and positive customer-care attitudes, which makes them adaptable, enabling the company to respond to clients' changing requirements. Senior staff have an average of over 6 year's service with Touchstone.

Touchstone has a strong partnership agreement with Renegate, a software development company, that ensures that the payroll systems are maintained and upgraded to meet the requirements of changing technology, local payroll practices and statutory requirements.
