The Airplane group said that a key hallmark of Team by Samolet is the implementation of the end-to-end human resources management principle, which was the main advantage of Oracle HCM/SAP Success Factors systems.

The goal of the development of Team by Samolet was to create a single technological platform integrated with external and internal corporate systems, which in functionality corresponded to the best world practices, the company explained.[2]

Team by Samolet Platform View

The Samolet group has created its own full-cycle HR platform for the digitalization of all HR processes in the company - Team by Samolet. The company announced this on May 6, 2024.

A key distinguishing feature of Team by Samolet is the implementation of the end-to-end principle, Human Resources Management which was the main advantage of Western systems/, HRMHCM including. SAP SuccessFactors In 2023, the platform made it possible to save about 300 million. rub Only on the automation of personnel applications for employees.

The Team by Samolet platform provides digitalization of organizational management and all the main HR processes of the company: recruiting, registration, adaptation, development, remuneration management, assessment, time accounting, human resources services, etc. Within the framework of the platform, a rare HCM-solutions system for managing and modeling the staffing structure was created, which allows managers to manage their staff in a flexible format, while all operations are automatically reflected in accounting. Separately, it should be noted that Team by Samolet takes into account all the requirements of Russian legislation, in particular in the field of personnel workflow and annual vacation planning.

He has been developing the Samolet platform since 2022, when many foreign solutions left the domestic market and there was a need to quickly find an adequate replacement for the departed services. HCM systems that meet the requirements and standards of large companies and were ready to work with large amounts of personnel data at that time were not on the market, so it was decided to develop its own product. The core of the product - human resources services - were implemented in 2 months. As of May 2024, the solution completely closes all HR cycle processes and basic HRM functionality and allows not only to automate routine operations, saving team time, but also to close more complex talent management tasks.

When developing Team by Samolet, the focus was on creating a single end-to-end process that covers the entire duration of an employee's stay in the company - from responding to a vacancy to parting. This comprehensive approach and data collection at all stages allows you to obtain more complete predictive analytics, as well as combine processes from the main blocks into a single whole: recruitment, management, development and motivation. The idea of ​ ​ the product is to use IT tools to make each of the stages of the path as comfortable as possible for the employer and staff. Regularly conducted surveys embedded in the platform itself confirm the success of this approach. Thus, the platform has already been used by more than 10 thousand employees, 50% of whom are daily. At the same time, the team manages to maintain the level of user satisfaction (CSI) at 8.6 (out of 10), which is a very progressive indicator.

Our IT specialists were faced with the task of creating a comprehensive solution, and not providing patchwork automation of the HR direction. Moreover, it was necessary to solve it in a very short time, because the sharp departure of SAP SuccessFactors left the company without a working HR function. I believe that we coped perfectly with such a challenge, creating a platform that is not inferior to Western solutions, but flexible and taking into account the specifics of work in our country. We are working to expand the capabilities of the analytical module and strengthen the use of AI technologies within the Team by Samolet platform, which we were forced to abandon at the initial stage, giving priority to basic functions, "said Alexandra Gorchakova, director of organizational development of the Airplane group.
