Nine customers each run more than 1,000 employees on Exelsys, the largest more than 4,400.

The problem

Your finance system knows what your people cost. It does not run them.

Leave requests, shift cover, appraisals, permits, training records and the paperwork around a new starter. In most organisations of a few hundred people or more, that work runs through email, spreadsheets and whoever happens to know the process.

It holds up while the business is small. Add sites, entities or countries and the admin grows with it: time lost chasing approvals, errors that reach payroll, and records that are hard to produce when someone asks for them.

Your ERP knows the cost. Exelsys adds the workforce context.

Exelsys Copilot

Grow the business, not the HR admin

As headcount, sites and countries grow, so does the routine HR work. Exelsys Copilot is an AI agent that does it for your people: it checks leave balances, shows who is off, and books leave on their behalf, so HR keeps pace with growth without adding people for the admin. Copilot works in Absence Management today and is rolling out across the Standard and Professional modules.

2,000+

Trading Point runs more than 2,000 employees across six entities on Exelsys, and has grown on the same platform.

“Book my annual leave from 14 to 18 December”

Tell it what you need, typed or spoken

"Book my annual leave from 14 to 18 December", or "provide me with a list of all the sick leave I took this year".

Copilot only sees what that user is already allowed to see.

  1. Leave balance
  2. CalendarNo clashes
  3. Absence rules

It checks before it acts

Copilot checks the leave balance, the calendar and your company's absence rules before it does anything.

Done. I checked your balance and your calendar: five working days, no clashes.

Why Exelsys

What changes when HR runs on one platform

Unified global platform

One record, every entity and country

Multi-entity capabilities let you set different rules per country or region and run HR from one unified system, with multi-currency and support for more than 30 languages.

Streamline processes

Less admin done by hand

Automate HR workflows end to end, from holiday approvals to expense claims. An AI-enabled modern interface helps people carry out processes faster.

Reporting

People data next to the financials

Business Central sync, Power BI, Business Analytics and Report Writer, so headcount, absence and labour cost sit alongside the numbers the business already trusts.

Third-party integration

Connects to what you already run

Connect on-site or third-party apps through a rich Web Services API, OData REST APIs or the Exelsys HCM Sync technology.
