The company has signed a five-year contract with MidlandHR for iTrent, which will run the platform.
Richard Small, head of HR at TM Lewin, said: "Four years ago our company did not have an HR function or any specific HR IT support, although there was a payroll system.
The driver for selecting MidlandHR's iTrent solution was the need for a fully-integrated HR and payroll solution. Kevin Blumenthal, the company's head of finance, added: "Our chosen solution needed to be user friendly and robust as the second phase of implementation entails deployment in over 90 UK stores.
This devolvement of responsibility away from head office and toward manager and employee self-service will ensure local management assumes responsibility for their own staff and the maintenance of their respective personal information."
The web-enabled iTrent solution is being implemented in a phased approach with HR and payroll, having gone live at the end of 2010, followed by manager and employee self-service which will be pushed out to all UK stores over the next one to two years.
Now employing 1,200 people, TM Lewin was established in 1898 and since then has developed a reputation as a first-class shirt maker and tailor.
