“Spend management is one of the capabilities our customers ask us for most, and it's complex to get right in Europe. Just as with payroll rules change at every border. Over the past 9 years Circula has already solved that complexity in an intuitive and powerful way. With Circula joining Personio, everything a company spends on its people – payroll, expenses and benefits – comes together under one roof. That's a first in Europe, and a big step towards Personio being the system European businesses run their entire workforce on.“

Hanno Renner

CEO and co-founder of Personio

“Circula has solved syncing employee data between spend management and HR platform and hundreds of joint customers already use that integration. The unsolved part is that the tax logic on the expense side and on the payroll side has always been built by two different companies. Joining forces with Personio today changes that. For our customers, DATEV stays, the existing integration stays, and expertise that Circula built stays. What changes is that HR, spend, and now payroll are designed to be one.“

Nikolai Skatchkov

Personio and Circula have been running side by side at Everphone for more than 6 years. We picked them deliberately: the strongest player in each category, connected through the existing integration. Payroll, cost centres and approvers were synced from day one, so two products never felt like two systems. The next step, both growing closer together, is the one we have been waiting for.
