The Problem

Work changed. Your HR system didn't.

Slow and costly to change

Requires in-house teams and armies of consultants to keep them running.

Everyone avoids them

Employees can’t find what they need. Managers work around them, leaving companies with unhappy people, and incomplete data.

Missing the full picture

Agentic systems need data, but HR systems capture transactions, not how work actually gets done. Leaders and agents both need the full picture to guide their most consequential decisions.

Our Product

Sol is an agentic HR system built for how work is rapidly changing.

A self-maintaining platform

Sol handles the operational load, so HR can spend less time managing systems and more time leading the work that matters.

Answers, not tickets

Sol gives leaders faster answers and captures the context behind decisions, so teams can move forward with confidence.

Built for a dynamic workforce

As work becomes fluid, Sol gives leaders the foundation to manage an ever-changing workforce, amplifying human potential.

Agentic by design

Replace your HRIS with an agentic HR foundation, built for change, designed to scale, and reimagined with AI from the ground up.
