Core HR, Payroll & Time Management

Streamline HR with SAP SuccessFactors by centralizing employee data and automating payroll and time management.

Expertum combines deep SAP SuccessFactors, payroll and HR process expertise to help you connect core HR, time and payroll in one reliable landscape. The result is greater efficiency, stronger compliance and a better employee experience.

THE CHALLENGE

The HR challenges customers bring to us

Many organisations still run core HR, payroll and time management across separate systems, countries and processes. That makes it harder to keep data consistent, automate work and stay in control.

Life at Expertum - overleg achter de laptop

Employee data lives in too many places

Different systems and local tools create duplicate records, inconsistent data and extra administration.

Payroll and time still need too much manual work

Disconnected processes create corrections, repeated checks and unnecessary effort for HR teams.

HR lacks one reliable view

When core HR, time and payroll are separated, reporting and decision making become slower and less reliable.

Global processes meet local reality

HR needs consistency across the organisation while still supporting local payroll rules, compliance and country specific requirements.

“The maturity of an SAP HR implementation becomes evident when Core HR, time management, and payroll are no longer siloed, but instead operate as a single, controlled data flow.”

Frequently asked questions

SAP SuccessFactors is a cloud-based, modular HR solution from SAP. It serves as the core HR system (HR master data) and supports key “hard HR” processes, including:

  • Employee administration
  • Organizational structure management
  • Job and position management
  • Leave and absence management
  • Time management
  • Integration with payroll engines (SAP or third-party systems)
  • Employee and manager self-service functionality

SAP SuccessFactors replaces traditional on-premise HR systems such as SAP HCM and provides a modern, cloud-based approach to core HR processes.

SAP HCM (on premise) vs SAP SuccessFactors (cloud):

  • Local installation → SaaS (cloud)
  • IT-driven upgrades → Automatic quarterly updates
  • Customization via ABAP → Configuration via Business Rules & MDF
  • Capex model → Subscription (Opex)
  • No AI features → AI features 
 

SAP SuccessFactors is as strong as SAP HCM, but includes constant innovations, including strong AI features, embedded self service features (on all platforms), but requires a different implementation approach.

SuccessFactors offers two flexible payroll options. You can use Employee Central Payroll (ECP) for a fully integrated, end-to-end payroll solution with full visibility and control across countries.

Alternatively, you can integrate with one or multiple third-party payroll providers, ensuring smooth data exchange while supporting local payroll requirements.

SAP SuccessFactors provides real-time access to accurate HR data on any device (desktop, mobile, tablet).

With one centralized system, data remains consistent and up to date, supporting faster decision-making. The platform is fully GDPR-compliant, ensuring strong data privacy and security.

SAP SuccessFactors Time Management is highly flexible and scalable.

It supports everything from simple absence management to advanced time tracking and evaluation for complex workforce scenarios. This makes it suitable for both white-collar and blue-collar environments.
