HRM Systems

What HRM Systems does

HRM Systems AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss software company headquartered in Winterthur, founded in 1945 as L. Hartmann-Unfallverhütung AG and reorganised under its current name in 2006. The company develops and operates UKA Solutions, a cloud-capable and on-premise platform for processing employee accident, illness, and daily sickness allowance (KTG/UTG) cases, together with the UKA Connect integration middleware, the CAREMA corporate health management (BGM) module, and a Suva mandate advisory service. Its software is purpose-built around Swiss social-insurance and compensation-fund workflows (UVG, EO/APG, Suva classification), and is integrated with the two dominant Swiss HR/payroll platforms — SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll and SAP HCM on-premise via UKA Connect, and Abacus myAbacus — enabling direct, in-system absence and claims processing for enterprise customers.

The company serves Swiss companies of all sizes that need to manage employee absences, communicate with multiple insurers and compensation funds, and reduce insurance premiums through data-driven case handling. Its customer base spans insurance (Helsana, AXA), transport/rail (BLS, Camion Transport, Galliker), and engineering (Amstein + Walthert). HRM Systems monetises primarily through recurring software subscriptions to UKA Solutions, UKA Connect, and CAREMA, supplemented by implementation and support professional services and Suva mandate managed services; pricing is custom and quote-based with annual billing and no public tiers. Go-to-market is direct sales and account management via a hotline, customer portal, German-language webinar series, and event presence (notably HR Festival Europe 2026).

Operationally, HRM Systems employs 150–160+ staff and operates from a single Winterthur headquarters (Technikumstrasse 82). It holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 certifications (annually audited by SQS) and the Swiss Made Software label, and is led by a five-person executive board installed in 2025 under President Fabienne Gassert, with fourth-generation owner Georg Hartmann as Chairman. In January 2026 the company divested its PEP Services personnel-planning consulting line to collana health AG, refocusing the franchise on absence processing software.
