PeopleRecord

One view of your people. Across every entity and every country.

In a group, people data never lives in one place: each entity has its own HRIS, its own payroll partner, its own time registration. PeopleRecord is the data hub above those systems, the one governed source of HR master data for your whole group. Each of those systems keeps running.

Aggregate across systems, with or without Popay Core.
Five systems, five answers. PeopleRecord gives you one. Nothing is replaced.
Sound familiar?

Your people data is everywhere. A single answer is nowhere.

Every entity runs on its own systems, and each system is right about its own piece. A simple question about the whole group has no simple answer.

Scattered

Bits of the truth in every system, none of them complete.

PeopleRecord: Pulls every system’s people data into one consistent model you can actually trust.

Manual

Export, VLOOKUP, reconcile, hope, every time leadership asks.

PeopleRecord: Cross-system reporting from one consolidated record, no spreadsheet ritual.

Lost history

Switch a system and the past goes with it.

PeopleRecord: Keeps history queryable through a migration. The old system can be switched off, and the past stays available.

No group view

Every entity and country reports its own way.

PeopleRecord: One people view across entities and countries, even on different underlying tools.

The fix

The data hub that brings your HR master data together

PeopleRecord is the unified people-data layer across your systems. It pulls people data from wherever it lives: HRIS, payroll, time tracking, ERP, through Popay Connect, into one consistent model you can report on, analyse and keep.

Your systems stay where they are, and the data comes together in one place. Popay Core can feed the hub as your master data system. It does not have to: PeopleRecord works just as well on its own.

version of the truth

Across every entity, every country and every underlying system.

What you can do

See, understand and keep your people data

One consistent model over the systems you already run.

One unified model

Every system’s people data mapped to one consistent shape, so a report means the same thing everywhere.

Reporting & insight

Cross-system dashboards and analytics: headcount, cost, turnover, without the monthly spreadsheet ritual.

Migration safety net

History & archive

Keep the past queryable when you switch a system. The old one can be switched off, and the past moves with you.

Group consolidation

One people view across entities and countries, even when each runs different systems.

Downstream to finance and BI

Clean, consistent data to finance, BI and whatever else needs it. In both directions, where the connected system allows.

Governed by design

One place to govern

Access, retention and audit across your people data are governed once, over every source system.

Side by side

Two records, two jobs

If you also run Popay Core, here’s how PeopleRecord and Core sit side by side. Same destination: governed people data. Two different routes.

Popay Core

The live, operational record

The effective-dated operational record inside Popay: person, org and position. It updates the moment something changes, and every Popay module runs on it.

→ where the HR work happens
PeopleRecord

The governed layer above

A clean, governed store that consolidates every system’s people data, including systems that aren’t Popay, to report, understand and archive. The operational work keeps happening in the systems themselves.

→ where it all comes together

Core is where the HR work happens. PeopleRecord is where it all comes together.

How it works

Your systems in. One record out.

People data flows in from HRIS, payroll, time tracking and ERP through Popay Connect, is mapped to one consistent model, and comes back out as reporting, insight and archive, in one trustworthy view.

The data is cleansed and aligned, so it arrives report-ready for whoever needs it. Your systems, whichever they are, keep running throughout.

Where it earns its place

Built for the moments spreadsheets can’t handle

Cross-system reporting

Leadership wants headcount and cost by entity, and the data lives in four systems. PeopleRecord answers in one.
Definitions are consistent: headcount means the same thing in every report.
No more exporting and reconciling every month. The numbers are already together.
A board-ready people view that refreshes itself from source.
Connected across the platform

One record, feeding everything downstream

Consolidated once, and shared everywhere it’s needed. Without a manual sync.

The real questions

Frequently asked questions

Is PeopleRecord the same as Popay Core?+

No. Popay Core is your operational master, the effective-dated record your HR modules transact on. PeopleRecord is the governed layer above it, consolidating data from every system you keep, for reporting, archive and group consolidation. If you run both, Core feeds the hub.

Do I need Popay Core, or Popay at all, to use it?+

No. PeopleRecord works with or without Popay Core. It aggregates people data from whatever you run: HRIS, payroll, time tracking, ERP, including non-Popay systems, through Popay Connect. The operational work keeps happening where it happens today.

How does data get into PeopleRecord?+

Through Popay Connect: the integration layer pulls people data from each source on a schedule or on demand and maps it to one consistent model. Nobody exports or imports by hand, and every flow is monitored and traceable.

Can it keep history when we change a system?+

Yes, that’s a core use. Instead of freezing an old payroll or HR system just to look things up, PeopleRecord keeps the past queryable. It’s the migration safety net for switching providers.

How is it governed?+

Access, retention and audit are managed in one place across every source system, so a single set of rules covers all your people data.

Stop reconciling. Start knowing.
