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
