Haveldata

What Haveldata does

Haveldata is a German software company, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Brandenburg, that develops and sells software solutions for personnel management, cost accounting, HR, and payroll services. Its product portfolio centers on a cloud-based suite covering HR, Payroll, and Finance functions, delivered as modular SaaS products (HR, Payroll, Finance) supplemented by full outsourcing services for payroll and accounting. The platform architecture pairs three core products with a broad set of feature modules — including time management, absence planning, recruiting, talent development, e-learning, performance management, digital personnel files, financial accounting, fixed-asset accounting, and cost accounting — and integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central via a certified payroll add-on. Complementary apps (Connect, Sawayo, Business Plus) extend the surface for employee and finance workflows.

The business operates on a multi-stream revenue model: recurring SaaS subscriptions for the HR/Payroll/Finance cloud products, unit-priced managed services for payroll outsourcing at 9 EUR/9 CHF per payslip, and full-service finance and accounting outsourcing. A free starter version of the HR cloud supports a freemium-led acquisition motion aimed at smaller DACH SMEs, while enterprise field sales and inside sales teams serve mid-market and larger customers. The go-to-market is regional and direct, with claimed reach of 1,200 experts across 26 locations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, serving 40,000+ customers and 6+ million daily users.

The company is differentiated primarily by deep DACH localization: ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certification, GDPR compliance, 55+ years of regional presence, and certified payroll processes tailored to German-speaking labor, tax, and social-security regimes. Technology signals suggest AI is being layered onto the platform through an AI-powered HR Analytics capability for compensation and workforce evaluation, but the available data does not indicate proprietary model development or foundational AI research. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, parent ownership, or M&A activity in the provided source material.
