Org chart software

An org chart that matches your company

A live org chart built from employee records: entities, departments, and teams in one structure, kept current as people move and leave.

01Several entities, one chart

Departments in Cyprus and Germany sit in one structure.

02Line and team reporting

Each person has a line manager and can join teams led by others.

03Every move has a reason

Each change is dated and tagged: promotion, transfer, reorg.

04No orphaned teams

When a manager leaves, reports and approvals go to a successor.

The problem

Why org charts stop matching the company

Legal, reporting, and team structures rarely line up, and HR redraws the chart after every move. When a manager leaves, reports and approvals lose their owner.

Multi-entity structure

Put every entity and country in one org chart

Departments, divisions, locations, and legal entities live in one structure, not one chart per entity. A department in Cyprus sits next to one in Germany, and each record shows who employs the person and where.

See Skailer for regulated businesses →

01Department hierarchy

nest departments under parent departments, each with its own manager

02Divisions and locations

group departments into divisions and give every position a location

03Legal entities

record the employing entity, contract, and employment type per person

04Entity filter

filter the chart by legal entity or location to see one country

Matrix reporting

Show line and team reporting in a matrix org chart

A developer reports to an engineering manager and works in a product team led by someone else. Skailer keeps reporting lines and teams as separate layers, and both show on the chart and on the person's record.

01Line manager

every position names a manager, and the chain runs up to the top

02Teams with leads

teams cut across departments, each with its own team lead

03Both on the chart

line and team reporting show on the chart and on the profile

04Home department

each person keeps a department next to the teams they join

Org chart view

Drill into any team in an interactive org chart

People open the org chart to find who does what. They move from the company level down to one department or team, open a position, and land on the profile. Each viewer sees only what their role allows.

See permissions →

01Drill-down

move from company level into a single department or team

02Position details

open a position to see role, level, manager, and location

03Department cards

a department's manager, active headcount, and members in one card

04Role-based visibility

every viewer sees only the fields their role allows

Structure history

Date and explain every change so you can trace it

Every change to a person's role, manager, department, or location is a new position record with an effective date. HR picks a reason from a shared list, so a year later the history still answers when and why.

See employee records →

01Effective dates

set a transfer for next Monday and it applies on that day

02Required reasons

every position change records why it happened, from your list

03Your own reason list

add, rename, and reorder reasons; old records keep theirs

04Position history

past records stay visible to people with history access

Handover on exit

Hand over a leaver's team so no one loses a manager

Every termination names a replacement employee. The day after the termination date, direct reports move to that person with new position records, along with managed departments, team-lead roles, and open approvals.

See offboarding →

01Named successor

every termination records who takes over the work

02Reports reassigned

each direct report gets a new position record the next day

03Departments and teams

managed departments and team-lead roles pass to the successor

04Approvals rerouted

open approvals move over, and duplicate stages are skipped

One HR platform

Change the structure once, and Skailer follows

Permissions, approval routes, and leave policies read the structure. The employee record holds the data. The org chart shows the structure built from it.

What is org chart software in Skailer?

Skailer's org chart software is a live view of the company structure, built from employee records in Core HR. It shows departments, locations, legal entities, line managers, and teams with their own leads, so one chart covers several countries and matrix reporting. Every change is a dated position record with a required reason. When someone leaves, their reports and open approvals pass to a named successor. Workforce planning is out of scope.

Skailer vs. the alternatives

Compare 3 ways companies keep an org chart

Most teams keep their structure in slides and diagram tools, in the org chart of a typical HRIS, or in Skailer. Each handles entities, moves, and exits differently.

Capability	Slides & diagram tools	Typical HRIS org chart	Skailer
Where the chart comes from	Drawn by hand	Employee records	Employee records, incl. entity and location
Several legal entities	Separate files or pages	Varies by vendor	One structure with entities and locations
Cross-team reporting	Extra lines drawn by hand	Additional supervisors in many tools	Line manager plus teams with their own leads
History of changes	Old file versions	Change history, reasons often optional	Dated records with a required reason
When a manager leaves	Redrawn by hand	Usually reassigned as a separate step	Reports and approvals go to a named successor
Rules tied to structure	None	Varies by vendor	Access, approvals, leave policies follow it

How it works

How to set up your org chart in Skailer

01Build the structure

Add legal entities, locations, divisions, and departments, and give each department a manager.

02Set job profiles and reasons

Create job profiles with role, level, track, grade, and salary range, then your list of change reasons.

03Place people in it

Give each person a position: job profile, manager, department, location. Add teams where work crosses departments.

04Keep it current through records

Transfers and exits become dated records. The chart updates on their effective date, with the reason kept.

Questions about the org chart in Skailer

How does Skailer's org chart software stay up to date?

It's built from employee records. When a position record takes effect, the chart changes on that date, and the change keeps its reason. Nobody redraws boxes after a transfer or a reorg.
