Flexibility

Only implement what you need

Only implement and pay for the functionality you need. One of the key benefits of true native cloud is the ease with which XCD can scale. As your workforce grows, so will XCD, and as your requirements change, the app can change to meet them.

Your People

A single destination

One login

One app, one login, one intuitive user interface for all your people, allowing them to complete their tasks in as few clicks as possible.
Any time, anywhere access

Mobile as standard

People can access and update their personal information on the move; managers can approve requests immediately; employees can plan and book their family holiday while sat around their kitchen table, rather than having to be in the office.
Own your data

Take responsibility

Employees own and control their own personal data in XCD. They are responsible for updating and ensuring accuracy from when they accept the offer of employment to the moment they leave.
Performance and development

Simple and transparent

Employees’ personal performance targets are accessible at any time within the system, ensuring people can stay focused on strategic goals. And with easy access to XCD learning and development, both employees and managers can easily book and approve any available training options to close skills gaps.

Finance

Total cost of ownership

A fundamental cloud benefit

As a true cloud application, XCD offers all the total cost benefits of the cloud, future-proofing, lifespan, cost-savings on maintenance and updates. And as a native Salesforce application, we also offer our customers the security and robustness of the world’s most popular platform, and the vast integration and system-consolidation opportunities available within the Salesforce ecosystem.
Scalability

Supporting growth

As your business grows, so do your workforce management needs. Rather than restricting change, XCD is designed to flex and grow alongside your business, implementing additional functionality as and when it is required.
Track spending and resource

Endlessly configurable reporting

Track workforce costs and spending against budgets with easy-to-use and highly customisable dashboards and reports. Integrate with FinancialForce for full PSA or ERP capability.
Leadership pedigree

Chaired by Vin Murria

In 2016, XCD attracted investment from Vin Murria, who also joined the company as our Chair. Vin is a multi-award-winning British entrepreneur, who received an OBE in 2017 for her services to the digital economy and advancing women in the tech sector. Vin’s involvement in XCD was closely followed by the appointment of experienced tech CEO Simon Fowler and COO Ben Bishop, both hugely experienced software industry leaders.

While Salesforce’s ongoing investment in the latest technology ensures your system retains compatibility and eliminates the need for expensive system overhauls in the future.
