Challenge

Sev­er­al teams at SD Worx con­stant­ly face the need to mod­ernise the dig­i­tal tools they man­age. Experts work­ing at depart­ments like prod­uct, mar­ket­ing and learn­ing try to keep up with grow­ing busi­ness demands. Their plat­forms require con­stant updates to man­age pay­roll and offer HR ser­vices in an effi­cient and com­pet­i­tive way.

With­in this con­text, they faced sev­er­al challenges:

  • Data Inte­gra­tion: Ensur­ing smooth inte­gra­tion of pay­roll, legal, and finan­cial data was cru­cial to avoid delays and errors affect­ing their own team and clients.
  • User Expe­ri­ence: The need for more user-friend­ly inter­faces was essen­tial to reduce frus­tra­tion and improve effi­cien­cy across all users.
  • Scal­a­bil­i­ty: Expand­ing into inter­na­tion­al mar­kets required sys­tems that could adapt to dif­fer­ent reg­u­la­tions and sup­port a grow­ing num­ber of users, which the cur­rent set­up strug­gled with.
  • Knowl­edge gap: They need­ed help nav­i­gat­ing areas in which the teams lacked spe­cif­ic knowl­edge or exper­tise, for quick­er imple­men­ta­tion of projects.

Ongoing collaborations

Hype­r­i­on is, to this day, work­ing along­side SD Worx to devel­op solu­tions that help over­come ongo­ing inte­gra­tion chal­lenges and pre­pare for future growth. Through­out var­i­ous projects, we main­tain a long-term and inten­sive col­lab­o­ra­tion with SD Worx, func­tion­ing as part of their team

Centralised data reporting

Our soft­ware engi­neers assist in uni­fy­ing SD Worx’s report­ing sys­tems into a sin­gle, stream­lined data plat­form. Using Snowflake for the back­end and Pow­er BI for the front end, they sim­pli­fy the report­ing process and great­ly improve data visu­al­i­sa­tion. The basic ver­sion of the new reports, which pro­vide updat­ed remu­ner­a­tion data, is already live. Mean­while, the team is work­ing on advanced reports that will offer deep­er insights and allow users to bench­mark inter­nal data against mar­ket trends.

The mod­ern inter­face and effi­cien­cy of the new dash­boards have been praised by ana­lysts as it allows them to dig into the data faster, and make deci­sions based on what they analyse, rather than feel. Next to that, the func­tion­al­i­ty to export detailed reports to Excel and PDF has been a hit for SD Worx. By under­stand­ing their busi­ness needs, our experts have con­tributed to trans­lat­ing these com­plex busi­ness needs into clear and effec­tive reports.

Integrated platform strategy

To address data inte­gra­tion chal­lenges that come with acquir­ing com­pa­nies to expand reach, the devel­op­ers at Hype­r­i­on are con­tin­u­ous­ly devel­op­ing mod­ern APIs that seam­less­ly con­nect SD Worx sys­tems with oth­er ser­vices. This ensures pay­roll data, legal updates, and finan­cial infor­ma­tion are always accu­rate and up-to-date, mak­ing everyone’s day-to-day work using this data a lot less frustrating.

User-friendly interfaces

Hyperion’s UX design­ers are reg­u­lar­ly improv­ing the inter­faces of var­i­ous SD Worx’s plat­forms and tools to make them more intu­itive and user-friend­ly. Our experts sim­pli­fy user jour­neys and add func­tion­al­i­ties through­out dif­fer­ent plat­forms, so employ­ees and clients of SD Worx get a nice expe­ri­ence every day. Our design­ers work close­ly with the cen­tral UX depart­ment at SD Worx, deliv­er­ing results togeth­er like a well-oiled machine.

Building the Hermes system

Togeth­er with SD Worx, our devel­op­ers are ful­ly deploy­ing the Her­mes sys­tem, link­ing their inter­nal edi­tor with a Sales­force set­up to stream­line com­mu­ni­ca­tion and task man­age­ment for pay­roll con­sul­tants. As the sys­tem cen­tralis­es infor­ma­tion in one place, the pay­roll con­sul­tants depend less on iso­lat­ed, one-to-one com­mu­ni­ca­tion via email. This makes the expe­ri­ence of the con­sul­tants and the employ­ees involved in this com­mu­ni­ca­tion sig­nif­i­cant­ly smoother. Ini­tial­ly com­plet­ed as a pilot, the Her­mes sys­tem is now ful­ly oper­a­tional, with a migra­tion of over 30,000 user pro­files to this new set­up. It’s cur­rent­ly used by large enter­pris­es and SMEs, with plans for SAP users to join.

Documentum

Doc­u­men­tum, the main data­base that holds all kinds of doc­u­ments at SD Worx, from news arti­cles to finan­cial fig­ures, is get­ting a big update. We’re care­ful­ly clean­ing up old data and rewrit­ing the con­nect­ed appli­ca­tions into mod­ern APIs. This update pro­vides the edi­tors and read­ers of these doc­u­ments with a more reli­able sys­tem, pre­vent­ing out­dat­ed or wrong infor­ma­tion is viewed or shared. By man­u­al­ly inputting his­tor­i­cal data and recon­fig­ur­ing the sys­tem, we have ensured accu­rate dis­tri­b­u­tion of crit­i­cal finan­cial and legal infor­ma­tion, reduc­ing data errors and pro­cess­ing time.

Additional consultancy & complementary product teams

We boost SD Worx’s inter­nal devel­op­ment capac­i­ty by pro­vid­ing a full team of experts, includ­ing project man­agers, design­ers, ana­lysts, and devel­op­ers. Our con­sul­tants work close­ly along­side their teams to guar­an­tee new val­ue streams move for­ward with­out over­bur­den­ing inter­nal resources. With the aid of our com­ple­men­tary con­sul­tants and prod­uct teams, dif­fer­ent depart­ments can kick­start the go-to-mar­ket process of new busi­ness ideas quick­ly. After this ini­tial phase, our sup­port scales down and the project moves to an inter­nal team.

Results

Our part­ner­ship with the teams at SD Worx has spanned over 5 years and con­tin­ues to be instru­men­tal in both dai­ly oper­a­tions and strate­gic projects. Our 15 experts sup­port dif­fer­ent teams on a dai­ly basis, con­tribut­ing to SD Worx’s growth and oper­a­tional efficiency.

By mod­ernising out­dat­ed sys­tems, improv­ing data man­age­ment, and inte­grat­ing valu­able third-par­ty ser­vices, we have sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhanced the effi­cien­cy and user expe­ri­ence of SD Worx’s plat­forms. The part­ner­ship not only address­es imme­di­ate needs but also lays the ground­work for future scal­a­bil­i­ty and inter­na­tion­al expan­sion. Hyperion’s exper­tise and agile method­ol­o­gy ensure that the solu­tions are both prac­ti­cal and for­ward-think­ing, enabling SD Worx to con­tin­ue lead­ing in the HR ser­vices sector.
