From hire to exit, every step automated

When someone joins, changes roles or leaves your organization, dozens of actions need to happen across HR, IT, payroll, identity and access systems. Frends connects those systems and orchestrates each step automatically, so new employees are productive faster, role changes take effect without delays, and offboarding closes accesses where it should.

Employee lifecycle management is a cross-functional coordination problem

Hiring, onboarding, role changes and offboarding all look simple on paper. In practice, they depend on multiple teams, multiple systems and a chain of manual steps that are easy to miss, delay or get wrong. The cost shows up in late access, security gaps, frustrated new hires and hours of administrative work that should not exist.

Disconnected systems create gaps in every lifecycle stage

HR owns the employee record. IT owns accounts and access. Finance and payroll own compensation data. Without automated connections between these different systems, data must be re-entered manually. That creates inconsistencies, delays and a process that is impossible to trace.

Manual onboarding slows new employees down

Setting up accounts, assigning access rights, adding someone to payroll, configuring learning paths and notifying relevant departments all happen sequentially when done by hand. New employees wait and productivity is delayed, while HR and IT spend time on repetitive tasks instead of higher-value work.

Slow or incomplete offboarding creates security and compliance risk

When access revocation depends on a manual checklist or an IT ticket, there is a window where former employees may still have access to systems, data and licensed applications. In regulated environments, that is a compliance problem. In any environment, it is an unnecessary risk.

Role changes and transfers introduce errors over time

Internal moves, promotions and reorganizations all require permission updates across multiple applications. Done manually, these changes are slow and error-prone. Over time, employees accumulate access they no longer need — the so-called privilege creep — which increases both security risk and licensing costs.

By using Frends, we have been able to reduce manual work, improve data accuracy and security by automating the flow of information between systems. Faster onboarding accelerates new employees' readiness to start on customer projects, thus enhancing overall productivity and quality.

Modernize EDI without replacing your ERP

Frends provides a modern integration layer between trading partners and ERP systems. Organizations gain direct ownership of their EDI landscape, move to predictable fixed-cost pricing and reduce their dependence on external operators, while continuing to use existing ERP investments.

Replace transaction fees with predictable, fixed-cost pricing

With Frends, processing an EDI order into SAP is a single process regardless of how many transactions go through. There are no volume-based charges, no per-document fees and no scaling surprises. Organizations that previously paid traditional EDI operators per transaction can move to a flat-rate model and forecast their integration costs with confidence.

Accelerate partner onboarding

Reusable EDI mappings, templates and integration patterns reduce the time and cost of onboarding new suppliers and customers. Fazer, for example, used Frends to build reusable EDI data mappings that streamlined onboarding across 15+ EDI partners integrated with their SAP environment, turning what had been a development project into a configuration exercise.

Gain visibility and take ownership of your integrations

Frends centralizes monitoring, error handling, logging and audit trails in a single platform. Teams can identify issues, reprocess failed messages and resolve problems without waiting for an external operator. The result is faster response times, fewer hidden failures and full control over a business-critical process.

Gain visibility and operational control

One orchestration layer for the entire employee lifecycle

Frends routes the right data to the right systems, applies business rules, handles exceptions and logs every step. HR and IT get a traceable, repeatable process instead of a chain of emails and tickets.

Trigger all the right actions across every system

Frends integrates HR platforms such as Sympa HR, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM with downstream systems including Active Directory, Entra ID, payroll, learning management, time reporting, workforce scheduling, benefits and IT service management.

Give HR and IT full visibility into every lifecycle step

HR managers and IT teams can see which steps completed, which are pending and where an issue occurred. When something goes wrong, the problem is visible immediately and can be resolved without external consultants or vendor to support. Through Frends' Business Automation Portal, HR managers can trigger, monitor and manage their own lifecycle workflows directly.

Build a process that scales with your organization

Whether you are onboarding ten people a month or a hundred, running a single HRIS or managing multiple HR systems across different entities, Frends handles the volume and the complexity with the support of reusable integration components.
