Bespoke Application Development​

We build custom HR applications on SAP BTP that extend SuccessFactors seamlessly, addressing unique business needs standard platforms cannot solve out of the box.

While SAP SuccessFactors provides robust support for standard HR processes, many organizations encounter unique use cases that the platform does not address out of the box — whether driven by specific regulations, industry practices, or essential business requirements. Rather than maintaining a fragmented landscape of disconnected tools, organizations implementing SuccessFactors often seek to consolidate these needs within a single, cohesive HR ecosystem.

AKT offers a distinctive service for developing bespoke HR applications built on top of SAP SuccessFactors using SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform). This approach ensures that custom-built applications function as true native extensions of SuccessFactors, preserving the same user interface and permission model for a seamless end-user experience. By leveraging BTP, we are also able to harness the power of AI to enhance these applications, delivering innovative and forward-looking solutions that keep pace with evolving business needs.

It enables searches by various parameters and ensures that all the documents that are stored in the system can be found easily and intuitively.

The AKT Global Mobility extension enables organizations to efficiently manage end-to-end preparation for global mobility assignments, including structured information collection across multiple stages. Different teams can contribute required data based on their role and timing in the process, ensuring accuracy, accountability, and readiness.

This application enables HR teams to nominate employees for promotion on a rolling basis throughout the year, supporting a flexible, business-driven approach beyond fixed annual cycles. It provides real-time visibility into budget utilization and total nomination values, organized by promotion cycles or budget owners to ensure financial control and transparency. The process dynamically triggers all relevant SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central workflows, and upon approval, automatically updates employee records with the appropriate transaction changes resulting from the promotion.

Our Bespoke Applications Development Capabilities

AKT’s approach to bespoke development reflects our commitment to three core principles:

  • Innovative Solutions: We treat every unique business challenge as an opportunity for tailored innovation, designing applications purpose-built for your specific context rather than adapting generic tools.
