Digitize and automate HR processes consistently

Implement HR processes digitally and flexibly

Especially in times when the HR department needs to focus intensively on its core competencies like payroll processing, employee concerns, and routine tasks often take a back seat. This can disrupt workflows and leave everyone involved dissatisfied. It’s clear that this can be avoided by replacing these processes with process automations and self-services. Many companies are already well-equipped in this regard. However, some have realized during the current situation, with a significant portion of the workforce working from home, which processes are still paper-based and not automated.

The implementation of complex processes/workflows involving multiple stages, approvals, and postings in SAP HCM infotypes is also a requirement we have discussed with several clients. To make it possible to introduce digitized HR processes even more flexibly in the future, and to offer it in a mobile-friendly SAP Fiori format, we have developed a new add-on solution.

Our latest add-on solution is the scdsoft Process Engine

With this add-on solution, we enable the fast and easy handling of customer-specific HR processes within SAP Fiori interfaces. We’ve developed a basic framework that can be tailored to various customer process requirements.

The process can be initiated by an employee, a manager, or HR, depending on the specific process. The underlying processing and approval chain can be customized for each process. We can also integrate works councils where needed. At the end of a process, notifications are sent to involved parties, and data can be recorded in the appropriate SAP HCM infotype.

The potential use cases are diverse, ranging from initiating bonus payments, promoting/transferring employees, or extending employment contracts, to employees requesting sabbaticals.
