The challenge of daily HR work is to align modern HR management, administrative tasks, data, HR systems, and operational processes, and to integrate them seamlessly. The key task is to strike the right balance between using state‑of‑the‑art technologies, optimizing processes, and providing transparent services for employees, while leveraging data effectively to secure the company’s long‑term future. The fulfillment of legal, wage, and operational requirements and adherence to data protection is not just a requirement, but a given – ideally at predictable, fair, and transparent costs. HCM Inside helps realign, digitize, and simplify SAP time management.

Paperless time management in SAP

valantic HCM Inside Time Management Dashboard

With HCM Inside, you will take an important step toward the digital transformation of your company. Where many activities were previously managed using paper‑based applications, digital ESS/MSS processes in the HCM Inside web portal allow you to sustainably optimize these business processes.

Allow your employees to enter their applications and tasks themselves at any time on their PC, laptop or mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc.

The manager is informed of the request by email and can process, reject, or approve it online. This completely eliminates errors that can occur due to due to manual processes and media breaks, such as typing or calculation errors when manually transferring data from paper applications. All requests submitted via the ESS/MSS process, together with the respective process status, can be viewed by the requester and/or approver at any time in your SAP time management system. The current time statement and various evaluations can be called up by the employee or manager at any time.

Of course, employees without access to the HCM Inside Fiori Launchpad can also enter requests on behalf of their manager, the time administrators, or the secretariat.
