Why companies move to forwardHR

Spreadsheets and rigid software don't fit a growing workforce

Once you have a few hundred employees, scattered HR files, disconnected tools and software that forces you to change your policies become a real risk.

Manual HR admin

HR administration that is manual and unintegrated takes time and increases the risk of errors.

How forwardHR helps: Employee data, leave and approvals are managed in one web-based system.

Rigid HR workflows

Off-the-shelf software often forces HR to change established policies, shift patterns or pay structures to suit the system.

How forwardHR helps: Approval hierarchies, leave policies and pay rules are configured to your SOPs.

Fragmented visibility

Separate HR and performance tools mean double entry, slow reporting and no clear view of labour costs.

How forwardHR helps: Every module shares one employee database, so data is entered once.

How implementation works

We understand your people processes first

BSC analyses your HR processes, shift schedules and pay structures before recommending anything, so the system matches the way you work.

  1. Discuss your needs

    Tell us about your processes, challenges and targets. We start from the business, not the features.

  2. Demo & system review

    See forwardHR with your scenarios and get a review of what fits your requirements.

  3. Configure & integrate

    We set up your structure and leave policies, and connect your ERP systems.

  4. Go live & support

    Training for HR and managers, then ongoing support from our consulting team. Implementation time depends on the modules chosen and their complexity.

Client story · Global healthcare company

How a global healthcare company works with BSC

BSC builds performance management and forecasting software for a global healthcare company.

Performance management

From paper-based reviews to a modern web-based performance management system

The company moved its performance management from a paper-based process to a web-based system built by BSC. It started simple and, through continuous improvement, has become an enabler for better performance management. The system is deployed in Australia, Switzerland and the USA, with positive feedback because it adapts to the company’s existing process.

Beyond HR: custom software built by BSC

BSC has also built custom business software for this company. These projects are separate from the forwardHR modules.

Sales forecasting

Forecasting moved from scattered spreadsheets to one central system

Forecasts used to be spreadsheets sent to distributors in many locations and countries, filled in and returned to head office, which took a huge effort to manage. The company doubted the complex legacy calculations and formulas could move to software. BSC built an intuitive, accurate web-based system with one central dataset and fully integrated formulas, and forecasting is now faster and more accurate.

Project management

Project updates without chasing a spreadsheet

Projects were tracked in Excel, with one person chasing the sheet every week for updates. BSC built user-friendly software based on the existing process, and everyone was happy with it. The project leader said he was very happy that it was delivered faster than he had imagined and under a lower budget.

Data & security

Your employee data, handled with care

Employee and personal data deserve serious protection. BSC keeps client information strictly confidential.

  • Your choice of deployment: cloud (public or private) or on-premise. Australian clients can choose their own private cloud.
  • Strict access controls so data is seen only by authorised people
  • Encryption of sensitive employee data
FAQ

Common questions from HR and finance teams

Can we start with just one module?

Yes. forwardHR is built as separate modules, so you can install only what you need now, such as Core HR, Recruitment or Performance, and add more later.

Is it cloud or on-premise?

Both. You can choose cloud (public or private) or on-premise installation. Australian clients can choose their own private cloud. On-premise installations can be customised further.<!-- source: Erwin Soehendra, answers 28 Oct 2026 -->

Can it be customised to our policies?

Yes. Approval hierarchies, leave policies, appraisal formats, incentive formulas and compensation plans can be tailored to your standard operating procedures.

How much does forwardHR cost?

We do not publish a price list. Every module can be bought separately and forwardHR runs in the cloud (public or private) or on-premise, so we prepare a proposal after an initial meeting, once we understand the right solution for you.

Which languages and devices does forwardHR support?

The forwardHR interface is in English. On phones, forwardHR runs as mobile web in the browser, so there is no app to install.
