How did the company manage before?
Cyfrowe.pl places great importance on automation and process efficiency. From the outset, the company sought solutions that could combine automation with process optimization.
Anita Turek-Lizakowska, the Head of Administration and HR, was searching for a platform that would allow seamless management of three companies within a single interface. Previously, the tools the company used were not only rigid in functionality but also challenging for users to navigate. As a company dedicated to user convenience, Cyfrowe.pl needed a system that could fulfill all their expectations, particularly in terms of usability.
We wanted to eliminate the need for managers to juggle multiple logins and passwords just to approve employee requests. HRnest provides a centralized panel where we can efficiently handle leave management, track working hours, and stay on top of critical information without missing a beat.

Implemented solutions
All your companies in one place
Cyfrowe.pl encompasses three distinct legal entities and requires a system capable of managing all of them without relying on multiple admin accounts. HRnest simplifies this by centralizing all essential information, enabling managers to perform tasks seamlessly within a single interface. Employees from all entities can access their absence records, which significantly simplifies communication and enhances daily workflow.
Previously, approving leave requests was cumbersome, especially for executives handling employees across various entities. With HRnest, this issue has been resolved – managers only need a single login and password to oversee leave requests and work hour tracking efficiently.

From her very first login, Ms. Anita found the system easy to use. The HRnest panel is designed to be so intuitive that users can operate the tool without needing to consult instructions. Migrating data for more than 100 employees, including leave limits and outstanding leave balances, was completed in just six hours.
The integration process with HRnest was incredibly satisfying. Even though I was working with a new system, I felt confident and at ease, and the entire process took no longer than 6 hours.

Cyfrowe.pl prioritizes addressing employee needs. As soon as the inefficiencies of the previous solution became apparent, the company took swift action to implement changes.

If support is needed, resources such as the online Help section, the interactive HRnest Academy, or in-tool tutorials are readily available.
Before choosing a tool, the company faced the challenge of not only automating processes but also reducing growing employee fatigue. Manually inputting data and constantly asking questions caused frustration among the staff. With HRnest, this issue was successfully eliminated.

One standout feature of HRnest is its ready-to-use reports, which simplify the summary of specific periods. These reports can be filtered by year, month, department, individual employee, type of request, or contract type.
