Every person decision,
on one record.
Core HR, payroll, time, talent, learning and help desk in a single effective-dated system, where a promotion, its pay change, its approval and its audit entry are the same transaction, not four systems reconciled at month end.
Core HR
Effective dating that actually means something
Assignment, compensation, position and benefit records are effective-dated, with point-in-time reads, future-dated transactions, and the ability to correct or rescind rather than overwrite. Ask what someone earned last March and the system answers from the record, not from a reconstruction.
Org design runs in a sandbox and then executes as effective-dated changes, so the reorganisation you modelled is the reorganisation that happens.
People data
Positions, jobs, grades and bands: per country
Positions, jobs, grades and per-country salary bands sit beside departments, locations, legal entities and business units. Security combines typed security groups with constrained roles and a job, duty and privilege model, with segregation-of-duties analysis over both.
Every change lands in a family audit trail, with away delegation for approvers who travel.
Why HR teams choose it
Seven differences you can verify in the demo
Open the public demo and check each one for yourself.
One licence, not a dozen SKUs
Voice, recognition, mentoring, wellbeing, earned-wage access, scheduling, help desk, journeys, planning, analytics and SoD controls are included. The leading suites sell a dozen or more separately priced SKUs and add-ons for the same scope.
Native African payroll
Nigerian PAYE to the 2025 bands, PenCom pensionable base, NHF and rent relief, native, on a 50-jurisdiction engine your own team can edit. Neither vendor has native African payroll.
EOR and earned-wage access built in
Employer-of-record services and earned-wage access ship with the product. Both vendors reach for partners.
Explainable attrition and pay equity
Attrition risk that shows its reasoning, and pay-equity analysis with small-population suppression so you cannot accidentally identify an individual. The leading suites carry neither in their core product.
Agents that work without an AI key
Eight grounded agents plus a concierge, metered by your tenant rather than the vendor, degrading to deterministic behaviour when no AI key is present, and an MCP surface for your own assistant.
Scheduling built for shift work
Shift bidding, swaps, availability, labour forecasting, geofenced and kiosk clocks, and an EU Working Time Directive rule engine.
Migration without a rebuild
Presets for the major enterprise HCM and ERP suites, plus NX Connect tokens, webhooks and subscriptions, so the move in is a project measured in weeks.
Inside the product
The screens your HR team would live in
Captured from the public demo, running a modelled multi-country employer.
The complete employee lifecycle, without the sprawl
Every HR process in one place, each one feeding the next, from the day a candidate applies to the day a colleague retires.

Job requisitions with approval flows, a branded careers pipeline, interview scorecards and offer tracking, then structured onboarding checklists that turn a signed offer into a productive first week.
Core HR & records
A single, secure record per employee, contracts, documents, dependants, disciplinary history, assets issued, with expiry alerts for permits, certifications and probation reviews.
Time, attendance & leave
Clock-in via mobile, biometric device integration, shift and roster planning, overtime rules, and leave management with balances, policies and approval chains that enforce themselves.
Performance & goals
OKRs and KPIs cascaded from company to team to individual, continuous check-ins, 360° feedback and calibrated review cycles, appraisals people actually finish.
Learning & development
Training catalogs, course assignments, completion tracking and skills matrices, tie development plans to performance outcomes and succession pipelines.
Global payroll & compensation
Salary structures, grades and allowances managed centrally; multi-currency payroll with live FX rates, EOR hiring across 189 countries, and device management for distributed teams, attendance, overtime and leave flow straight in.
Self-service that takes HR out of the queue
Most HR tickets are questions the system can answer: leave balances, payslips, letters, approvals. Nexus SoftSphere HCM gives every employee a mobile self-service portal, and gives HR their week back.
-
Requests without paperworkLeave, advances, letters of introduction and expense claims raised, approved and archived digitally.
-
Manager dashboardsTeam attendance, pending approvals, upcoming reviews and attrition risk in one view, no chasing HR for reports.
-
Org chart, liveReporting lines, vacancies and headcount by department, always current, because it's generated from the data.
-
Privacy by designRole-based access to sensitive records, full audit trails and data handling aligned with modern data protection law.
HR data that finance can finally trust
Because HCM shares the Nexus SoftSphere platform, headcount is never out of step with the payroll ledger, and workforce cost is never a month-old estimate. Approved overtime flows to payroll; new hires appear in the ERP's cost centres the day they start; department budgets see people costs in real time.
-
Native ERP integrationOne employee master shared with Nexus Financials payroll, expenses and cost accounting.
-
Works standalone tooRun HCM on its own with exports and APIs into whatever payroll and finance stack you already use.
-
Workforce analyticsAttrition, absence, cost-per-hire, span of control and diversity metrics, reported, trended and exportable.
