What newdays does

NewDays Solutions B.V. (operating as newdays) is a Dutch B2B SaaS vendor headquartered in Utrecht that provides two tightly coupled products for the Dutch occupational-health and HR market: newdays verzuim, an absence management application built around smart workflows and questionnaires rather than open text fields; and newdays connect, a self-service integration platform that synchronizes HR data between employers' ERP/HR systems and absence management software. The integration layer normalizes inbound data through a proprietary 22-step pipeline to the SIVI 2021 data standard and offers 30+ pre-built connectors covering approximately 70% of Dutch market integration requests (AFAS, Visma, SAP, ADP, Workday, UWV, Exact Online, Oracle, Microsoft 365, among others), with custom connectors built in roughly four weeks. Bi-directional data exchange is secured through cryptographic hashing of personal data (including BSN) in a privacy-by-design data vault, with each pipeline step individually monitored and logged.

The technology stack is Laravel and Symfony on Kubernetes, with ELK for centralized logging, Sentry for real-time error monitoring, and GitHub-driven OAP (Development, Acceptance, Production) workflows; development is performed by parent company PAQT's 60+ technical specialists. newdays monetizes via per-employer SaaS subscriptions under 3-year contracts (annual billing), with optional modules (s-FTP, Audit log), a €550/month SLA Professional tier, a €750 per-employer professional onboarding fee (versus free self-service), and pay-as-you-go support hours. GTM blends self-service PLG (free 14-day trial, no demo required) with inside sales and implementation-consultant-led enterprise motions targeting the largest Dutch arbodiensten and complex HR environments.

The company operates only in the Netherlands, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAQT (spun off in late 2022 after 5+ years of incubation inside PAQT), has won the FD Gazellen award for five consecutive years, and holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, NEN 7510, ISAE 3402 Type I, and AFAS Gold partner certifications. Named enterprise customers include Robidus, De Rolf Groep, Ipse de Bruggen, Dura Vermeer, Nieuw Leven, and Eneco.

Scale indicators6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Personio: European HR SaaS for SMB and mid-market employers; competes for the same Dutch HR-buyer wallet and is expanding absence and workflow features that overlap with newdays verzuim.
• HiBob: Modern HR platform with growing European presence, including the Netherlands. Overlaps with newdays on HR data centralization and is increasingly extending into absence and case management.

Direct peers

• Verzuimdata Nederland: Dutch absence management data platform that newdays integrates with and which addresses overlapping arbodienst absence-management workflows, making it both a partner and an adjacent competitor.
• Visma | Raet: Dutch HR/payroll platform (YouForce, Visma.net) competing for the same Dutch HR and absence management buyers that newdays serves, and one of the HR systems newdays integrates with.
• Loket.nl: Dutch payroll and HR SaaS aimed at SMB employers, competing head-on for Dutch HR-department wallet share and pushing its own absence management features.
• AFAS Software: Dominant Dutch HR and payroll software vendor. It is both newdays' closest technology/AFAS Gold integration partner and the most direct competitor in HR and absence software for the same Dutch arbodiensten and HR-department buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Workday: Enterprise HCM platform that newdays supports as an integration endpoint for Dutch enterprise HR environments, while also competing as a strategic platform that may obviate the need for third-party integration layers.
• ADP: Global HR and payroll incumbent that newdays integrates with for Dutch customers, but which can also absorb absence workflows natively as it expands its Run/Workforce Now suites.
• SD Worx: European HR and payroll outsourcing player with strong Benelux presence. Competes with newdays' HR/absence proposition for mid-market and enterprise Dutch customers, but as part of a much broader HRO portfolio.

Regional players

• Exact Online: Dutch-origin ERP/HR platform that newdays integrates with for employer and HR data, but which also sells its own HR and workflow functionality to the same Dutch SMB customer base.
