HRIS implementation and data migration

Switch HR systems with your history intact

Implementation at Skailer is the process that moves a company from its current HR system or spreadsheets to Skailer. Your structure, people, employment, positions, compensation, custom tables and leave balances are migrated with a preview of every change, and the default policies and roles are adjusted to your rules. You review the data and invite your employees.
01Previewed before it's written
See what will be created, updated or skipped, row by row.
02Start from defaults
Leave types, approval rules and pipelines are ready to adjust.
The problem

The switch is the part everyone postpones

The HR manager exports the old system to a spreadsheet: 40 columns, three date formats, leave balances that only add up inside the old tool. The vendor's timeline says "a few weeks", the IT lead wants sign-in sorted before anyone gets an invitation, and the HR team still has payroll to close on Friday. Every week of delay is another month of paying for two systems. Skailer changes that by previewing every import before anything is saved.
What moves

Your HR history, not just a list of names

Each import shows, per column, how many records will be created or updated and flags values that will be skipped before anything is written, then lists any errors by row.
01People
Profiles and contact details, with custom fields created during import
02Employment
Legal entity, contract, employment type, work pattern, FTE and probation, with effective dates
03Work (positions)
Job profile, manager, department, division and location, with history
04Compensation
Salary lines with period and currency, and additional compensation such as bonuses
05Custom tables
Any table you keep per person, such as equipment or certifications
06Time off
Current balances and past leave history
Where from

From your HR system or your spreadsheets

01Your HR system
Exported to CSV or XLSX and imported through Import data with ready-made templates.
02Spreadsheets
7 XLSX templates for people, employment, work, compensation, additional compensation, time off balances and history.

How does implementation work at Skailer?

Implementation at Skailer moves a company from its current HR system or spreadsheets in a fixed sequence: structure, data migration, rules, sign-in and go-live. People, employment, positions, compensation, custom tables, and leave balances and history are imported from CSV or XLSX files. Every import is previewed before it's written. New organizations start with default leave types, approval policies and hiring pipelines that are adjusted to the company. Implementation doesn't include payroll setup.
