What Officient does

Exact Officient (founded 2017 in Ghent, Belgium) is a cloud-based, all-in-one HR, payroll, and benefits platform built for Belgian small and medium-sized enterprises. The product, now operated as a subsidiary of Dutch enterprise software company Exact following an acquisition, centralizes the full HR lifecycle — onboarding with digital contract signing, payroll administration integrated with Belgian payroll providers, document management, leave and absence tracking, internal communications, HR reporting and analytics, and employee self-service — within a single HRIS delivered with an Employee Self Service mobile application on iOS and Android. Underlying technology includes an open API, workflow automation, Itsme-based Qualified Electronic Signature (eIDAS-compliant), and SAML-based SSO with Okta and OneLogin.

The platform is extended by an Apideck-powered App Store / Marketplace exposing 50+ integrations across payroll (Securex, SD Worx, Acerta, Partena, Liantis, Besox, Brunetto, CLB, Nmbrs and others), time and attendance (Protime, Geodynamics, Prixo, Optedo), calendar (Google, Apple, Outlook, Office 365), ATS (Jobtoolz, Greenhouse via Zapier), CRM (Salesforce, Gripp, Teamleader), authentication (Okta, OneLogin, Itsme), productivity (Slack, Teams, Learn Amp, Kadonation), BI (Brightanalytics, EMAsphere), and mobility (Mbrella, Chark).

Officient monetizes through annual SaaS subscriptions to Belgian SMEs on a quote-based, sales-led motion with demo requests and whitepaper downloads as primary CTAs. Distribution is multi-channel: direct sales, channel partnerships with Belgian payroll providers (social secretariats) who bundle or recommend Officient — most notably Securex via the co-branded 'ComfoHRt' service — and an Apideck-powered marketplace for integrations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; some integrations are free or included in the Officient license while others (e.g., Itsme credits, Optedo at €350/year) carry separate fees. Exact Belgium provides corporate infrastructure and distribution through its 2,000+ specialists serving Belgian customers.
