Challenges.
Veepee struggled with unintegrated acquisitions and lacked a global perspective due to management at a local level. Fragmented HR systems resulted in poor business processes and an unsatisfactory user experience. The company functioned with scarce people data, limited people cost monitoring and an HR team that didn’t have the tools necessary to effectively manage talent or steer the business.
Why Workday.
Veepee was experiencing hypergrowth and needed an HR solution to better manage increasing head count, develop acquisition integration capabilities and easily open offices in new countries. Veepee wanted to align teams around one organisation and culture and develop talent management capabilities while enabling strategic HR.
Benefits and results.
We needed a global tool that allowed for more agility, transparency, process alignment and access to HR data in real time. With Workday, our employees will be able to use the solution at any time to collaborate with their colleagues around the world.

Increased scalability.
Lack of a core model prevented Veepee from integrating acquisitions or integrating new countries into a global organisation. With the business process framework now in Workday, the company can easily integrate acquisitions and replicate existing business processes within new entities. Veepee was able to open offices in Israel and Poland without help from external consultants
