About d.velop AG

d.velop AG, an information technology company, provides digital solutions for the optimisation of business processes. With over 1,000 employees, the company focuses on optimising workflows and increasing efficiency. As d.velop continued to expand, the need for more agile workforce management became essential to maintain its growth trajectory and business success.

The challenge

When Sebastian Thoring, HR Controller at d.velop AG, looked at company’s HR operations, he quickly realised that the absence of effective data management resulted in a fragmented view of the workforce. The team relied on HR systems like Personio to export data, which was then manually processed in Excel – an approach that not only took time, but also led to errors and delays. Without a centralised, real-time view of workforce data, decision making was often reactive and slow.

Manual reporting bottlenecks

Generating reports was a time-consuming process that took attention away from more strategic HR initiatives.

Lack of real-time insight

The executive team lacked immediate access to up-to-date data, which slowed decision-making and reduced their ability to proactively respond to workforce challenges.

Access and visibility limitations

Managing the access of executives and employees to the right reports with the real-time data has been difficult for the HR team to achieve, largely due to manual processes.

The decision

To address these issues, Sebastian sought a solution that could unify their data and automate the reporting process. peopleIX offered exactly what d.velop needed: a centralised platform that seamlessly integrated with their HR systems and provided real-time insights. The decision was clear – peopleIX would not only streamline their reporting, but also give the leadership team direct access to accurate data when they needed it most.

The seamless integration with Personio ensured that data flowed effortlessly between systems, providing a solid foundation for data-driven people operations.

The implementation

During the onboarding phase, d.velop gathered requirements from key stakeholders, including the management board, division heads, people operations, recruiting, and employee health teams. The goal was clear: to create a single source of truth for full transparency across the entire employee lifecycle. This included tracking key KPIs like headcount development, gender split, internal compensation benchmarks, retention metrics, and recruiting performance.

The seamless integration with Personio ensured that data flowed effortlessly between systems, providing a solid foundation for data-driven people operations.

"The transition was smoother than we expected, and peopleIX has quickly become an essential tool for our leadership team."
