A major German department store chain has contracted Norway-headquartered software company Zalaris for payroll and HR services.
The software company will offer broad payroll services, handle payroll accounting and manage HR administrative activities for the retailer’s more than 11,000 employees in the country.
Before supporting the client's transition to a fully digital HR solution, Zalaris will initially support payroll processing of the retailer’s existing systems.
Up to the beginning of 2026, it will implement the Zalaris Peoplehub Retail Solution, which includes processes for payroll, digital personnel file, travel expenses and time management.
This transformation will digitise all HR processes using SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Performance and Goals.
Zalaris Retail Services & Solutions and Zalaris Deutschland managing director Peter Martin said: "We are proud to be working with one of the leading department store chains in Germany.
"We are pleased to support the customer in the transformation to modern, data-driven HR management, significantly increasing efficiency and agility in its HR work, and enhancing the overall employee experience.”
Zalaris serves more than 1.5 million employees monthly and has an annual revenue exceeding €100m.
With more than 1,100 consultants across 17 countries, the company delivers payroll and HR services to 150 countries worldwide, utilising a unified system solution.
In May 2023, Zalaris reached a master services agreement to offer PeopleHub-based payroll solution as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to an undisclosed global retailer.
The company has not disclosed the identity of the department store chain involved in the latest agreement.
