From ten spreadsheets
to one system.

Orange Tree evaluated several HR systems. The features got them interested. What sealed it was the approach, how simple it is, and the fact that Speybl is Czech.

Before Speybl

Before Speybl: ten spreadsheets at once

The HR admin headaches were very concrete. The things that were "doing their head in":

10 spreadsheets at once

HR had up to ten spreadsheets open at the same time — each covering a different aspect of HR administration.

Scattered storage

Some files on a local drive, others on the server, still others in SharePoint. Who knew where to find what?

Attendance tracked in Outlook

Scheduling through a shared calendar and Excel. Unclear who was where and when, approvals done manually.

New hires orient themselves

The org chart is visible to everyone — who is who and who reports to whom. No need to ask around.

We had several HR system proposals on the table. We didn't choose Speybl just for its features. We chose it because working with the team was the most pleasant experience — and also the fastest. Our colleagues got the hang of it quickly, everyone knows how to use Speybl and they're happy with it.
