01 / Business Challenge
- Data redundancy: re-entering the same employee data across 9 different documents.
- Manual, error-prone salary and bonus calculations requiring specific European formatting.
- Slow onboarding times due to physical document signing (adding 2-3 days).
- Total data entry time was 20-30 minutes per employee.
02 / Our Approach
How we executed this engagement in practice. The phases below describe the delivery rhythm we use across ServiceNow, custom engineering, and mobile programs.
We designed a solution around a single data entry point (Record Producer) connected to real-time calculation scripts. We leveraged ServiceNow’s native HTML document templates and Flow Designer to automate the generation and dispatch of the entire document packet.
Phase 01
Discovery & alignment
Workshops, process and systems review, success metrics, and scope clarity.
Phase 02
Design & planning
Architecture, experience and workflow design, risks, and a concrete delivery plan.
Phase 03
Build & validation
Implementation, integration, testing, demos, and refinements with your teams.
Phase 04
Go-live & enablement
Controlled rollout, training and documentation, handover, and post-launch tuning.
- Built a Catalog Client Script utilizing GlideAjax to auto-calculate monthly salaries and fetch latest bonuses in real-time.
- Developed 9 dynamic HTML document templates utilizing HR Case variable substitution and dynamic checkbox logic.
- Implemented a Flow Designer architecture with a Decision Table to automatically select the correct document pack based on contract type and region.
- Integrated DocuSign seamlessly via Flow Designer to dispatch documents and auto-attach signed PDFs back to the HR Case.
