The Problem

Why SME HR teams are hitting their limits

HR work in SMEs often means: spreadsheets, email chaos and manual routine tasks. It costs time, nerves and the best talent.

Manual Applicant Management

Applications via email, rejections via copy-paste, scheduling via phone. No overview, no automation.

Onboarding Takes Weeks

Accounts, equipment, contracts, training -- all manually coordinated. New hires wait, HR scrambles.

Time Tracking & Leave Requests by Email

Approvals by follow-up, corrections in spreadsheets, overview by hope. Error-prone and time-consuming.

Paper-Based Personnel Files

Documents in folders or scattered systems. Deadlines are missed, compliance suffers.

Manual Reporting & Compliance

KPIs, turnover rates, headcount reports -- compiled by hand every quarter.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Process Automation

Everything you need to know about automating your HR processes.

Which HR processes can be automated?

Nearly all administrative HR processes can be automated: applicant management and screening, onboarding workflows, time tracking and absence management, digital personnel files, HR reporting and compliance documentation. Strategic tasks like employee conversations or culture development naturally remain with people -- but preparation and documentation can be automated.

Does the solution work with Personio or Softgarden?

Yes, we integrate directly with Personio, Softgarden, HeavenHR, DATEV and many other HR tools. The automations work with your existing systems -- no tool switch required. If you don't yet use an HR system, we also advise on selection and implement the automation directly.

How long does implementation take?

A single HR process (e.g., automated onboarding) goes live in 2-4 weeks. A comprehensive HR automation with multiple processes typically takes 6-10 weeks. We always start with the process that has the biggest impact, so you see results immediately.

Is HR automation GDPR-compliant?

Absolutely. GDPR compliance is particularly critical for personnel data and is our top priority. All data is processed on German/European servers, deletion deadlines are automatically maintained, access rights are granularly controlled and processing records are automatically maintained. We exclusively use GDPR-compliant tools and hosting.

Is HR automation worth it for small companies?

Yes, automation is especially worthwhile for companies from 20 employees. Because there is often no dedicated HR department here -- HR tasks are done on the side. Automation relieves exactly this double burden. From about 50 employees, comprehensive HR automation typically pays for itself within 3-6 months.
