SAP-native HCM and payroll platform serving 1.5M+ employees monthly
Zalaris operates a dedicated SAP HR and payroll service for mid-market enterprises across Europe, serving 1.5 million employees monthly. The tech stack is deeply SAP-centric (SuccessFactors, SAP HANA, Activate) with auxiliary CRM and BI tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Power BI), reflecting a consulting-delivery hybrid rather than pure SaaS. Hiring skews toward HR and finance roles with senior-level focus, and active projects cluster around SuccessFactors implementations, cloud payroll migrations, and nearshore/offshore team transitions—indicating both customer-facing transformation work and internal operational scaling.
