Global processes supporting standardisation, compliance, and cost reduction: “Establishing and delivering effective digital processes for time and attendance, travel expenses, payroll and HR is complicated. Zalaris’ transformational Payroll and HR approach supports customers transforming scattered local solutions into one common process designed in a timely and cost -effective manner.
Our concept of delivering services based on one common IT solution, supported by local competent resources, works hand in hand with multi -nationals implementing new global HR solutions such as SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or Oracle. We can offer one standardised solution and integration concept in combination with local compliance for customers operating globally in a cost-effective manner” says Zalaris CEO and founder Hans-Petter Mellerud.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we have demonstrated our ability to secure business continuity for our customers and are delivering services to customers as normal. In times such as these, it is extremely satisfying to see new, large companies recognise this and trust us with long term commitments” – says Mellerud.
