My favorite part about using Factorial is its unified, all-in-one HR system paired with an extremely intuitive layout that fits our daily HR operations perfectly. At HRKontor Stuttgart GmbH, we support dozens of local German manufacturing SMEs, and we previously leaned on scattered standalone tools for attendance tracking, employee file management, and time-off administration. Constantly switching between different software created redundant work and messy data sorting. Factorial resolves this fragmentation by centralizing all core HR functions in one place. The user-friendly interface is a huge advantage for our team; even junior HR staff can easily handle attendance management and digital document filing without lengthy training sessions. Its native automation for leave requests and attendance records greatly reduces repetitive manual data entry every pay cycle. Additionally, the platform’s baseline DSGVO-compliant data controls are incredibly practical for our work. They help us standardize digital personnel files and efficiently prepare for regular internal compliance audits for our industrial clients. The real-time workforce reporting also delivers clear, actionable data insights, supporting manpower planning and streamlining daily HR workflows with far less manual effort.

It is a useful and easy-to-use tool that saves you from unnecessary paperwork and brings you closer to your supervisors.

The digital personnel file archive with unalterable activity logs is my standout feature. Every view, edit or document upload leaves a permanent trace, which auditors accept immediately to satisfy GoBD and GDPR requirements. Granular role permissions let me wall off confidential salary and payroll data from entry-level HR team members, cutting internal data leakage risks entirely. Its automated leave, holiday and overtime calculators follow ArbZG rules out of the box; this alone slashes the hours we spend cross-checking payroll figures for our SME clients every billing cycle. Before Factorial, our team relied on physical folders and unsecure email file transfers, which left us exposed to data breach fines. Consolidating all staff records in one secure space streamlines EntgTranspG payroll reporting and drastically reduces the manual log preparation we used to handle ahead of official compliance audits.
