Why do organisations choose XCD?

HR & Payroll professionals everywhere are switching to XCD... here's what some of them say about us: 

"The change has been revolutionary for our team and has saved us a significant amount of time."
Di Gwinnell, HR Business Partner, SACO: The Serviced Apartment Company

"In the end we just felt XCD was a true HR system written by HR people, rather than a finance payroll system with a bit of HR added on to it. That is why we chose XCD."
Samantha Webb, HR Manager, Sanden Group

“I’ve rolled-out a variety of solutions during my career and I can honestly say XCD is by far the best. It’s the most customer-focused platform I’ve ever worked with; extremely simple and user friendly – I love it."
Matthew Blair, Project Manager, Enstar

  • Flexibility

    Only implement what you need

    Only implement and pay for the functionality you need. One of the key benefits of true native cloud is the ease with which XCD can scale. As your workforce grows, so will XCD, and as your requirements change, the app can change to meet them.

    Pick And Mix
  • GDPR

    Peace of mind

    Sensitive HR & Payroll data is the number one GDPR risk for organisations. XCD supports your GDPR compliance in line with your deletion policies, with automated reports and notifications, by obtaining employee data processing consent as part of the recruitment process, and through our data deletion service.

  • Own your data

    Empower your people

    Employees own and control their own personal data in XCD. They are responsible for updating and ensuring accuracy from when they accept the offer of employment to the moment they leave.

    Personal Data

    Simple and transparent

    Employees’ personal performance targets are accessible at any time within the system, ensuring people can stay focused on strategic goals.

    Total Cost Of Ownership Balance
  • Scalability

    Supporting growth

    Chaired by Vin Murria

    In 2016, XCD attracted investment from Vin Murria, who also joined the company as our Chair. Vin is a multi-award-winning British entrepreneur, who received an OBE in 2017 for her services to the digital economy and advancing women in the tech sector. Vin’s involvement in XCD was closely followed by the appointment of experienced tech CEO Simon Fowler and COO Ben Bishop, both hugely experienced software industry leaders.
