Objective 

The objective was to modernize NEDSPICE’s global HR organization by replacing fragmented local systems and manual Excel processes with a centralized cloud-based platform. By implementing SAP SuccessFactors, the company aimed to standardize HR processes, improve workforce data and reporting, and enable HR to play a more strategic role in supporting business decisions worldwide.

“I want HR to take that step from an administrative department to much more of a strategic business partner.”

What we achieved together 

Thanks to Pentos LaunchNOW! Approach, NEDSPICE implemented SAP SuccessFactors in a rapid rollout of just twelve weeks. Key modules including Employee Central, Onboarding and Offboarding, Recruitment, and Performance Management were introduced using a Fit-to-Standard approach with the pre-configured LaunchNOW! best-practice solution. This allowed the project to move quickly without extensive customization or long design phases, enabling users to experience the system early while minimizing implementation effort.

The new HR environment has already delivered visible improvements. HR processes are now standardized globally, employee data and leave requests are centrally managed, and every employee has access to their own profile. The platform also supports an inclusive rollout across factory and office employees worldwide, with local language accessibility. As a result, Nedspice now benefits from greater transparency, clearer organizational structures, and a stronger, more strategic role for HR in supporting the business.

“What I appreciated was that Pentos was very clear about what worked and what didn’t in our collaboration. From the beginning we were aligned: no endless customization, but building on what works.”
