Etimad Holding centralizes HR for 16 subsidiaries with HYP ERP
About Etimad Holding
A diversified UAE group brought employee records, payroll, attendance and leave for more than 50,000 employees into one HR system, while each subsidiary adopts finance, purchasing, inventory and sales at its own pace.
Etimad Holding operates in the UAE, mainly in Abu Dhabi, through 16 subsidiaries with different business activities and operational requirements, including security systems, advanced technology solutions, steel structure manufacturing, logistics and manpower leasing.
The challenge
Before HYP ERP, the subsidiaries relied on different local systems and tools, alongside Excel. Information and operations were spread across separate sources, which made centralized oversight difficult, and paperwork, manual confirmations and approvals added administrative effort.
The group needed stronger transaction traceability, greater control over purchasing, and a reliable way to manage employee financial and leave balances across its companies.
Why Etimad chose HYP ERP
Etimad selected HYP ERP for its integrated platform, its support for multiple subsidiaries and its flexibility to accommodate different operations. Scalability, customization and a user-friendly interface were key considerations, allowing the group to centralize HR first and extend other modules as required.
The solution
- Centralized HR. Employee records, payroll, attendance, leave and recruitment are managed centrally across all 16 subsidiaries. The scope also covers manpower and staff planning, fleet management and end-of-service management.
- Employee balances. HR teams track employee financial and leave balances in HYP ERP, giving closer oversight of employee entitlements and outstanding amounts.
- Digital approvals. Purchase orders, absence and leave requests, payroll approvals and other workflows are processed in HYP ERP, reducing reliance on paper and manual confirmations.
- Operational modules by subsidiary. Finance, Purchasing, Inventory and Sales support participating subsidiaries according to their needs. Deployment varies by company, while HR is centralized across the entire group.
- Phased implementation. The centralized HR project took eight months to cover all companies. Some other modules were rolled out separately, so adoption could progress according to each subsidiary's requirements.
The results
- Improved transaction traceability, helping teams follow transactions and approvals within the system.
- Stronger purchasing control through system-based purchase orders and approvals.
- Better control over employee financial and leave balances through centralized HR records.
- Less reliance on paperwork and manual confirmations for the workflows moved into HYP ERP.
Bringing HR across 16 subsidiaries into one system has strengthened our oversight of employee records, payroll and leave. Our teams can manage these processes with clearer traceability and less reliance on paperwork.
