Generated from the text of customer reviews

Officient is an HR platform that centralizes employee records, onboarding, leave, and payroll data for small and mid-sized organizations. Reviewers often praise its intuitive layout and employee self-service, while some report that individual modules feel basic and that payroll syncing with social secretariats needs refinement.

Our Verdict

Officient is useful for companies needing onboarding, leave, and payroll data in one HR platform. It suits HR teams that hire regularly and want employees to handle their own requests and documents. Pricing stands at mid-range. We recommend Officient to small to mid-sized businesses seeking centralized HR administration, onboarding, and employee self-service.

What Is Officient? 

Officient is a Human Resources (HR) platform from Exact that brings employee records, contracts, onboarding, leave, and payroll data into one place. HR teams import staff data from their social secretariat or an Excel file, then build contract templates, onboarding workflows, and reports on top of it. Employees get a Self-Service app for leave requests, pay slips, and personal details. The platform digitizes the full HR cycle, from the first contract to performance reviews, with communication tools for sending emails and messages to staff. 

What Is Officient Best For? 

The platform stands out for its "Payroll Administration." It keeps the employee data payroll depends on in one file per person and logs every change, with the old value stored in an audit log. HR sends each month's prestation and absences to the social secretariat from the same platform, and it connects to providers such as Securex, Acerta Connect, SD Worx Payroll, and Partena Professional. Employees receive pay slips digitally and see their full pay package, while sensitive salary information stays visible only to the people who need it.

Officient pricing starts around €180/year.

Officient Use Cases 

Based on our analysis of Officient features, we have identified the following key business scenarios where it is well suited: 

HR Teams Onboarding New Hires With Digital Contracts And Workflows 

HR teams build a contract template once, and the platform fills in each new hire's details from their employee file. The contract goes out for digital signing, and Officient emails reminders until it comes back. Customer e-BO Enterprises says onboarding through Officient takes less work because the old routine of drafting, printing, signing, scanning, and re-signing contracts now happens digitally. Onboarding tasks for IT, managers, and colleagues sit in the same workflow. 

HR Administrators Managing Leave, Sick Notes, And Absences 

Employees request leave in the app, managers approve it, and the calendar shows HR every vacation and sick day in one view. Employees can upload sick notes themselves, and automatic reminders chase missing ones by email and in the app. Each month, HR sends the prestations and absences to the social secretariat from the same platform. Staff can also see their own leave balances and overtime, which cuts the "how many days do I have left" questions. 

Employees And Managers Handling HR Tasks Through The Self Service App 

Employees rely on Officient to update personal details, download pay slips, review their pay package and extralegal benefits, and sign contracts from their phone or the web version. It lets managers approve or reject leave requests and follow up on performance reviews from the same app. A who's-who directory and an org chart show who sits in which team. 

Operations And Office Managers Tracking Company Assets And Vehicles 

Officient links laptops, cars, and software licenses to individual employee files, so a manager can see who holds what. Asset lists import from Excel, which speeds up the first setup. Documents attach to assets and vehicles as well as to people, so a leasing contract or a registration document sits next to the car it belongs to. At offboarding, the asset list shows what needs to come back. 

Is Officient Right For You? 

Officient is a reasonable choice if HR administration still lives in spreadsheets, shared folders, and paper contracts, and you want one system that employees can also use themselves. It's a stronger fit for companies that already send payroll data to a Belgian social secretariat, since the payroll integrations are built around that workflow. Officient is part of Exact's business software portfolio, which also covers accounting, invoicing, ERP, and CRM. 

Customers that already trust the software include D'M&S, Lifeworx, Effectis, Forum Jobs, e-BO Enterprises, and Le Grand Associates.

Officient Features

Documents

Officient keeps every document in one digital archive linked to employee profiles, company assets, vehicles, and performance reviews. HR can share a document with one employee or a whole group through the Self Service app, and employees upload their own sick notes. Contract templates pull data from the employee file and go out for digital signing. Moreover, employees can submit the expenses in the app, a manager approves, and HR chooses how the compensation is paid, including through the monthly payroll run.

Self Service

The Self Service app puts everyday HR tasks in employees' hands. They update personal details, request leave, flag home working days in the calendar, upload sick notes and expenses, sign contracts, and check their pay package and extralegal benefits. Managers approve or reject leave and follow up on performance reviews from the same app. A who's-who directory and an org chart show who sits in which team, and the app runs on iOS, Android, and the web.

See How It Works
Communication

HR writes a message once and schedules it to send automatically at a chosen moment, to the whole company or to individual teams. The Weekly Digest sends employees an automatic weekly update on absences, new starters, and birthdays. The tool suits announcements such as a team-building event or a new policy.

See How It Works
Insights

Officient generates reports on absenteeism, leave balances, headcounts and how it evolves, and payroll cost from the data already in the platform. All HR data sits in one place, ready to analyze. When a needed report isn't in the list, HR exports the data to Excel and builds its own analysis.

See How It Works
Performance And Growth

Performance review templates send personalized questionnaires ahead of each conversation, and employees verify the summary once the review is done. Reviews can repeat automatically, and everyone from employee to manager to HR sees the same information. On the training side, employees request courses through the Self Service app, and HR tracks who follows which training. Reminders flag certificates that need renewing, and extra fields hold any other details HR wants to record.

“Clear and concise HR tool”

Pros

One of the things I appreciate most about this tool is how quickly I got the hang of it. The interface is so intuitive, everything is right where you'd expect it to be and the menus are clear and logical. It doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary features. Instead it presents exactly what you need in a simple way which makes the whole experience feel smooth. For me it's the perfect balance of powerful and easy to use.

Cons

The recap email for staff leave only shows the first few entries which can be limiting in my opinion.
