About us

30 years of workforce management. Still built for what comes next.

We are a European workforce management specialist. Since the early 1990s we have built, implemented and supported one thing: software that gets complex working time right — the calculations, the agreements, the exceptions, and the processes that have to follow from them.

Today ERA supports organisations across Europe, from lean office teams to multi-site operations. Labour law has changed, work has gone hybrid, and customers' needs have evolved. What has not changed is the focus: accurate calculations, structured processes, and data that works in the real world.

01 — How we work across Europe

European platform. One team behind it.

Workforce management is local by nature. Legislation, collective agreements and payroll practice change at every border — and a rule that is correct in one country is a compliance problem in the next. So we work the way that requires: consultants who know European working-time law in depth, four working languages, and one platform with one roadmap and one development team behind it.

Consultants who know your rules

Collective agreements, working-time law and payroll practice differ by country. We configure your country's rules into the platform — legislation, agreements, payroll formats — rather than approximating them.

Four working languages

Implementation, training and support run in Dutch, French, English or Spanish — in European time zones, with the same people from the first workshop onwards.

One platform, one roadmap

Every customer runs the same ERA on the same release cycle, whatever country they are in. Country-specific rules are configuration, not a separate product.

03 — Our approach

Consultant-led, from day one

Every implementation is led by an experienced consultant who knows both the software and the sector. We configure, train, integrate and stay available — because the value of workforce management software is in how well it fits your operation, not just the features on a spec sheet.
