HRM

The challenge

Contracts in folders, leave in email, payroll in another tool — no single source of truth for employee records Managers approve leave via Slack; HR re-keys into payroll and balances drift Payroll runs lack audit trail — who was included, what changed, and when it posted is unclear HR updates an employee role but the booking calendar still shows old provider availability GDPR right-to-erasure requests require touching HR, CRM, and scheduling separately without a coordinated process

The solution

HR teams need one system for the employee lifecycle — hire to retire — with leave balances, payroll runs, training records, and performance reviews. People data also touches scheduling (provider changes), projects (resource allocation), and compliance (GDPR erase). HRM is delivered as a standalone NestJS + Next.js suite module with its own API, portal, billing SKU, and schema prefix hrm_. It covers departments through time entries with interop ports for scheduling provider changes and GDPR erase — linkable to Projects and Suite Platform without shared databases.

Approach

Deliverables

• ▸Organization structure — departments, employees, addresses, documents, and contracts
• ▸Leave management — types, balances, requests with approve/reject/cancel workflow
• ▸Payroll — period-based runs with post action and audit trail
• ▸Training and performance — records and reviews tied to employee profiles
• ▸Time entries — tracking for hourly and project-based workers
• ▸Interop and compliance — GDPR erase, scheduling provider-changed webhook, migration import

Outcomes

• ▸Hire-to-retire employee lifecycle in one product — not scattered folders and inboxes
• ▸Leave and payroll connected workflows with balance and period discipline
• ▸GDPR erase capability built in with audit logging
• ▸Scheduling provider sync via webhook when scheduling is linked
• ▸Standalone runnable — entitle HRM without CRM or Finance on day one
• ▸Zero shared people database with scheduling or Projects — webhooks and service links only

Impact

HRM gives human resources & people operations teams a single operating system for the workflows that matter—visibility for leadership, structure for operators, and a foundation for the next phase of growth.
