Most HR teams aren't short on ambition. They're short on time. Between payroll, time tracking, talent management and the dozen smaller admin tasks that eat into a week, the promise of "one platform for everything" is a genuinely appealing one. The harder part is making that platform actually work the way your business does, not just the way it was designed to.
That's the gap we're closing with our new partnership with Factorial.
Two different strengths, one shared goal
At Udder, our work has always gone beyond selecting the right HR technology. We get hands-on with configuration, process design, data, integration and adoption, because a system only earns its keep once it's genuinely embedded in how a business operates day to day. Our consultants bring functional depth across HRIS, payroll and talent platforms, built from years of hands-on delivery rather than theory.
Factorial is an AI powered business management platform that connects HR, time, talent, finance, IT and payroll processes in one place. Factorial One, its agentic AI layer, understands company data and workflows to answer questions, generate insights and take on routine administrative tasks. Built to support growing, international organisations while adapting to local requirements, Factorial is trusted by more than 16,000 companies worldwide.
Put together, that means clients working with us get a platform built to handle the breadth of HR operations, and a partner who makes sure it's configured, integrated and adopted in a way that matches how their business actually runs, not a generic template.
What this looks like in practice
Take a common scenario: a business rolling out Factorial across HR, payroll and time management in one go. Configured out of the box, a platform this broad can just as easily create friction as remove it, if workflows don't reflect how teams actually approve leave, run payroll cycles, or track time across different countries and contracts.
That's where implementation experience proves its worth. Mapping the real processes first, configuring Factorial around them rather than the reverse, connecting it cleanly to the rest of the tech stack, and making sure the people using it day to day are properly trained rather than left to figure it out. It's the difference between a platform that technically does everything and one that people actually rely on.
Why now
HR functions are under constant pressure to modernise and integrate their technology estate while proving measurable value across the employee lifecycle. An all-in-one platform like Factorial is a strong answer to that pressure, but the platform itself is only ever part of the story. Getting the configuration, integrations and adoption right is what decides whether that promise of "everything in one place" shows up in day-to-day reality or stays a line in a sales deck.
Bringing Factorial into our delivery model means we can support clients across the full breadth of what the platform offers, from first configuration through to ongoing optimisation, with the same hands-on approach we bring to every implementation.
We're looking forward to what this partnership makes possible for the organisations we work with, and to helping the herd get more out of the tech they've already invested in.
