Certified Ksaar Agency
Why SMEs switch from Factorial to a custom no-code solution
Factorial offers standardised HR workflows, but growing SMEs need systems that adapt to their unique processes. A custom no-code solution built on Ksaar gives you full ownership of your data, seamless integration with existing tools, and workflows tailored precisely to your team—without the recurring subscription ceiling. Tech my PME helps you migrate in 4–8 weeks with training and ongoing support.

Three core advantages of Ksaar over SaaS platforms like Factorial
Full customisation without code
Model approval chains, leave types, and reporting dashboards that match your exact processes—no feature requests or roadmap delays.
Native integrations you control
Connect your accounting, CRM, and payroll systems through APIs you own, eliminating data silos and third-party middleware costs.
Transparent total cost of ownership
One-time build plus predictable monthly hosting—no per-seat pricing that scales with headcount or surprise tier upgrades.
Why choose us
Why custom no-code beats off-the-shelf HR software
Escape per-seat pricing traps
Factorial charges per employee per month, meaning your HR software bill grows linearly with headcount. A 50-person team paying €7 per seat spends €4,200 annually—recurring indefinitely. A custom Ksaar solution typically costs €8,000–€15,000 upfront, then €150–€300 monthly hosting. After 24 months, you save 40–60 per cent and own the platform outright. For SMEs planning to scale from 30 to 100 employees, the savings compound dramatically.
Build workflows that reflect your reality
SaaS HR platforms force you to adapt your processes to their template: fixed approval hierarchies, generic leave policies, and rigid reporting. A no-code solution models your actual structure—matrix approvals for project leads, custom absence types for retail shifts, real-time dashboards pulling data from your ERP. One client in logistics needed driver compliance tracking integrated with fleet management; Factorial couldn't do it, but we built it in Ksaar in three sprints. Your operations dictate the tool, not the reverse.
Own your data and integration roadmap
With Factorial, your employee records and historical data live in their cloud under their terms. Exporting is possible but often incomplete, and custom integrations require their API rate limits and permissions. A Ksaar solution runs on infrastructure you choose—EU-hosted databases, backups you control, and API keys you manage. When you need to connect a new payroll provider or compliance tool, you deploy it directly without waiting for vendor partnerships. Data sovereignty and integration agility are yours by design.

Common questions about migrating from Factorial to no-code
How long does migration from Factorial to Ksaar take?+
A typical migration takes 4–8 weeks depending on data volume and workflow complexity. Week one covers discovery and data export from Factorial. Weeks two through four focus on building your custom Ksaar environment—user roles, leave policies, approval chains. Weeks five through eight are user acceptance testing, training, and parallel run. We provide step-by-step documentation and live training sessions so your HR team feels confident from day one.
What does a custom Ksaar HR solution cost compared to Factorial?+
Factorial charges approximately €5–€9 per employee monthly, so a 40-person company pays €2,400–€4,320 per year indefinitely. A custom Ksaar build typically costs €10,000–€18,000 upfront, then €200–€400 monthly for hosting and maintenance. Break-even occurs around month 18–24, after which you save 50–70 per cent annually. Crucially, you own the platform and avoid per-seat cost escalation as you grow.
Can I keep using Factorial for some functions during transition?+
Absolutely. Many clients run Factorial and Ksaar in parallel for 2–4 weeks during user testing. You can migrate core modules—leave management, onboarding—first, then phase out payroll connectors and reporting later. We map data flows so both systems stay synchronised during overlap, and you choose the final cutover date when your team is ready. There's no forced big-bang switch.
