Workforce management that handles the hard part.

01 — What most systems get wrong
A few things most systems get wrong. ERA gets them right.
The calculation engine that handles every rule, exception and collective agreement automatically — and the processes that make sure the right thing happens, in the right order, every time.
Calculation you can rely on
ERA doesn't just record time. It calculates it — overtime rules, collective agreements, shift bonuses, absences and exceptions — automatically and without error.
Processes that work
ERA drives the processes around calculation — approvals, validations, notifications, exports — so your teams follow the right steps without being chased.
Open to your world
APIs and standard connectors. ERA integrates with your HCM, ERP and payroll tools — on-premise or cloud, out of the box or custom-built.
Modular by design
Start with what you need today. ERA's five modules work independently or together — begin with time & attendance, expand when the time is right.
02 — The 20% that matters most
That is not an edge case. That is Tuesday.
Most tools handle the straightforward cases well. The challenge is the other 20% — where getting it right is the difference between accurate payroll and a month of corrections, between compliance and legal risk.
And it goes beyond calculation: every validation, approval and export follows a defined, auditable path. No Excel on the side. No manual step outside ERA.
Simpler needs today? ERA handles that too — the complexity is in the solution, not imposed on the user. Meet ERA Essential →

Calculated, validated, exported — automatically.BY ERA
The 80% runs itself. ERA handles the rest.
03 — How we work
Not software you install. A service that fits the software to you.
Every implementation is led by an experienced consultant who knows both the software and the sector. We configure, train, integrate — and stay available.
01
Listen
A conversation about your operation: your schedules, your agreements, your current tools.
02
Configure
Your consultant tailors ERA to your rules — every calculation, every workflow, every collective agreement.
03
Train
Your teams learn ERA from the people who configured it — on-site or remote.
04
Go live
Integrated with your payroll, HCM and ERP. Clean, validated data from day one.
05
Evolve
Support, maintenance and evolutions as your organisation changes. A team that stays with you.
The value of workforce management software is in how well it fits your operation — not just the features on a spec sheet.
04 — One solution, five modules
One solution. Five modules. Every angle covered.
Use one module or all five — they share the same data, the same calculation engine and the same rules. Deploy one, add others as your needs evolve.
THE CORE
ERA Time — Time & Attendance
The calculation and process engine at ERA's core. Records every clock-in, computes every rule, drives every approval — and exports clean data to payroll. Paired with ERA's own clocking terminals for a fully integrated hardware and software solution.
A modern self-service layer for your whole workforce. Clock in, request leave, check balances — anywhere. Each user sees only what is relevant to their role.
ERA does not replace your payroll system. It feeds it. Every calculation is validated inside ERA before a clean, structured file goes to payroll. Fewer corrections. Fewer disputes. Faster monthly close.
Integration scales from a simple monthly payroll export to a real-time API connection — depending entirely on what your setup requires.
Employee time data is sensitive. ERA was designed for European data protection requirements from day one.
GDPR — built in, not bolted on
→ Role-based access: employees see only what they should → Full audit trail of who accessed what, and when → Right-to-access and right-to-erasure workflows supported
Cloud or on-premise — your call

Security by design
→ Encrypted data in transit and at rest → Online backups with point-in-time recovery → Change history on all critical records

Since
Early 1990s — 30+ years of European workforce expertise
What is ERA?
ERA is a European workforce management company: software plus the team that configures, trains and supports it. Five modules on one calculation engine, offices in Belgium and Spain, and customers across Europe since the early 1990s.
What is the difference between the ERA Solution and ERA Essential?
The ERA Solution is the consultative flagship for complex operations — your rules and collective agreements, configured and supported by our team. ERA Essential is the packaged edition for smaller teams with standard schedules: set up for you, working in days, on the same engine — with an upgrade path and no migration.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes — MyERA comes with every ERA: employees clock in from anywhere (even offline), request leave and check balances; managers approve with full context. Browser or native app, on any device.
How does buying ERA start?
With a conversation, not a pitch. You tell us how your operation works — then we show you a demo built around it: your shifts, your agreements, your cases. No pressure, no commitment.
