Who it's for
The problem
HR teams accumulate tools the way garages accumulate cables. ATS here, performance there, payroll in a third place, an org chart in slides. People data is fragmented, performance is theatre and leadership analytics arrive in quarterly PDFs that nobody trusts.
Existing alternatives
What teams try first.
Legacy HRIS (SAP, Oracle, etc.)
Comprehensive on paper, painful to configure, mobile experience is weak and partner-led implementations stretch into quarters.
Modern HR SaaS (BambooHR, Rippling, etc.)
Excellent in their core region; gaps in multi-jurisdiction compliance, performance depth and enterprise governance.
Best-of-breed stack
Four overlapping tools, three sources of org truth, and a payroll handoff that breaks every time someone moves regions.
Where they fall short
- Org graph isn't canonical, so every system disagrees about who reports to whom.
- Performance and compensation live apart, so growth conversations are disconnected from reward.
- Compliance posture is region-by-region patchwork, with statutory rules buried in spreadsheets.
- Analytics are descriptive at best — leadership cannot see attrition risk, hiring velocity or compensation drift in time to act.
Core capabilities
Everything Vestval People does.
Canonical org graph
One reconciled org truth — every workflow, report and access decision reads from it.
Employee lifecycle
Hire, onboard, transfer, promote, exit — modelled as workflows with auditable approvals.
Performance & OKRs
Continuous performance with goals, check-ins, calibration and growth-track visibility.
Attendance, leave & shifts
Biometric, geo and self-attendance with shift rosters and statutory wage protection.
Payroll workflows
Pre-payroll inputs, attendance lock, statutory deductions, payslips and post-payroll reconciliation — integrated with existing payroll engines where you prefer.
People analytics
Headcount, attrition, hiring velocity, compensation drift, span-of-control and DEI dashboards with drill-through.
Architecture overview
How the system is put together.
People data plane
Canonical employee, position and org models with strict change-event versioning.
Workflow engine
Approval, escalation and audit primitives reused across lifecycle, performance and compensation flows.
Identity & access
OIDC/SAML, SCIM provisioning, granular permissions including data-field-level access.
Compliance kernel
Per-jurisdiction rule packs (India, US, UK, APAC) with versioned regulatory updates.
Workflows
End-to-end flows out of the box.
- 1
Hire to onboard
Offer rollout, document collection, statutory inputs, asset assignment, day-one checklist — all automated with manager and IT handoffs.
- 2
Performance cycle
Goal setting, mid-cycle check-ins, peer & manager review, calibration meeting and outcome rollout — with compensation linkage.
- 3
Compensation review
Budget allocation, manager proposals, fairness checks, leadership sign-off and personalized rollouts.
- 4
Exit & offboarding
Notice handling, knowledge transfer, asset return, access revocation and alumni handover — auditable end-to-end.
Use cases
Where Vestval People earns its keep.
Scale-up (200–2,000)
Replacing four overlapping HR tools with a single source of truth.
Outcome · Org graph reconciled, leadership analytics live, three of four legacy tools retired in year one.
Mid-market enterprise (2,000–20,000)
Multi-region HR with statutory compliance and serious performance discipline.
Outcome · Region-by-region cutover; compliance posture audit-ready; performance cycle compressed materially.
Service business (BPO, ITES, retail)
Shift, attendance and wage compliance across hundreds of locations.
Outcome · Frontline visibility for area managers; statutory exposure dramatically reduced.
Distributed team
Async hiring, performance and growth across geographies.
Outcome · Manager experience standardized regardless of where employees sit.

Implementation approach
How rollouts actually work.
- 1
Org graph reconciliation
The unglamorous first phase — reconcile competing sources of org truth into one canonical graph.
- 2
Lifecycle workflows first
Hire, onboard, transfer, exit — get the operational backbone live before adding performance and compensation.
- 3
Region-by-region cutover
Multi-jurisdiction rollouts are sequenced by region with legal review per jurisdiction.
- 4
Integrate payroll, don't replace it
Existing payroll engines are integrated rather than replaced. Risk-reward is wrong the other way.

FAQ
Vestval People — FAQs
- We can — but we usually don't. Integrating with your existing payroll engine is lower-risk and faster. HR is the system of record; payroll is the system of execution.
