  • SOHO Group Goes Live on Yomly Across Seven Countries

    SOHO Group Goes Live on Yomly Across Seven Countries

    Seven countries. One milestone worth celebrating.

    We are delighted to announce that SOHO Group is now live on Yomly across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, France, Lebanon and Turkey.

    A go-live of this scope is rarely a single switch. It is the result of many decisions about data, process and ownership, made jointly by two teams over months. This one deserves a proper thank you, and a closer look at what it takes.

    Why a Multi-Country HR and Payroll Go-Live Is Different

    Every country in this rollout has its own labour law, payroll rules, statutory contributions and reporting obligations. The GCC markets share some common ground, but each still has its own requirements. Jordan and Lebanon add further variation, and France and Turkey sit under entirely different regulatory systems again.

    The difficulty is not only meeting each local requirement. It is meeting all of them while giving group leadership a single, consistent view of the workforce. When each country runs its own spreadsheets or local tools, headcount, cost and compliance status become hard to compare and slow to report.

    A multi-country go-live has to resolve that tension: configure locally where the law demands it, standardise everywhere else.

    What It Takes to Get There

    Rollouts across several entities tend to succeed or stall on the same handful of factors:

    • Clean employee data. Master records, contracts, leave balances and pay elements need to be accurate before they move, not corrected afterwards.
    • Clear ownership. Each country needs named owners for HR and payroll decisions, with group-level governance above them.
    • Agreed standard processes. Approvals, onboarding and employee self-service work best when they follow one group design, with local variation only where it is genuinely needed.
    • Parallel validation. Payroll results need checking against existing outputs before anyone relies on them.
    • Trained users. Managers and employees need to feel confident in the system from the first day, not the third month.

    None of this happens without close collaboration. Thank you to the SOHO Group team for your trust, your time and your partnership throughout, and to our Yomly colleagues for the hard work behind this go-live.

    Marking the Moment

    It was a pleasure to bring both teams together to celebrate the occasion and share some well-earned cake.

    Go-Live Is the Start, Not the Finish

    The value of a platform shows up in the months after launch: in payroll cycles that close on time, in employee requests that do not get lost in email, and in reports that leaders can trust without a reconciliation exercise.

    Yomly is built for this kind of regional and multi-country complexity, bringing core HR, payroll, workforce administration and reporting into one configurable environment. We look forward to supporting SOHO Group and its people in this next chapter.

  • Pristine Private School Goes Live with Yomly

    Pristine Private School Goes Live with Yomly

    We are delighted to welcome Pristine Private School to the Yomly family following the successful launch of the Yomly platform across its UAE operations.

    The go-live marks an important milestone in our partnership, providing Pristine Private School with a modern HR platform to support and streamline HR operations for more than 375 employees.

    As part of the implementation, the Yomly team delivered hands-on end-user training to help employees and key stakeholders become confident using the platform from day one. These sessions provided practical guidance, answered user questions and helped ensure the organisation was fully prepared for a smooth transition.

    Effective training and change management are central to every successful HR technology implementation. By working closely with the Pristine Private School team throughout the process, we were able to tailor the rollout to their operational requirements and ensure users had the knowledge and support needed ahead of launch.

    Pristine Private School joins Yomly’s growing portfolio of education clients across the GCC. Our platform helps schools and education groups manage their people operations more efficiently while providing employees with a simple, accessible digital experience.

    We are proud to reach this milestone together and look forward to continuing to support Pristine Private School as our partnership develops.

    Welcome to the Yomly family, Pristine Group.

    Why onboarding is critical for long-term success

    Rolling out a new HR and payroll platform is never just about technology, it’s about people, trust, and enabling teams to feel confident using a new system that touches every employee. That’s exactly why Yomly’s onboarding approach is designed to be collaborative, structured, and highly practical. Recently, our team had the pleasure of onboarding Gulf Cryo onto the Yomly platform, culminating in a successful Go-Live event held at Gulf Cryo’s office, where teams gathered for hands-on training, a live platform demo, and an open Q&A session.

    This milestone marked the official start of a new chapter for Gulf Cryo: a smarter, faster, and more streamlined way to manage HR operations and payroll processes. HR & payroll transformation isn’t simply “switching systems.” It often involves:

    • Multiple teams with different workflows
    • Sensitive employee data
    • Policy and compliance requirements
    • Payroll deadlines with zero margin for error
    • Change management across the organization

    For enterprise organizations, a platform rollout must be smooth, secure, and aligned with internal processes from day one. That’s why Yomly treats onboarding as more than implementation, we treat it as enablement. Our onboarding process is structured to ensure every stakeholder understands the platform and feels prepared before Go-Live.

    Step 1: Preparation, alignment, and onboarding kick-off

    Before the Go-Live event, the Yomly and Gulf Cryo teams aligned on all key rollout elements, including:

    • Onboarding timeline and success milestones
    • Platform configuration to match internal HR and payroll processes
    • User access levels and role-based permissions
    • Key workflows and approvals
    • Data readiness and system validation

    This stage is crucial, as it ensures that the platform isn’t just “installed,” but actually aligned with how the organization operates. During onboarding, we work closely with the client team to answer practical questions early, such as:

    • How will HR requests flow between departments?
    • How are approvals structured?
    • Who needs access to what?
    • What does the employee experience look like?

    Step 2: Configuring Yomly to reflect Gulf Cryo’s workflows

    Every organization has unique internal structures, and Gulf Cryo is no different. One of the most valuable aspects of onboarding is ensuring that the platform reflects real operational needs. This includes configuring items such as:

    • Employee master data structure
    • Departmental reporting lines
    • HR policy rules and requests
    • Document templates and standardized forms
    • Workflows for HR actions
    • Payroll-linked data fields (where applicable)

    Rather than forcing teams into a generic solution, Yomly’s model is built around adaptable workflows so teams can operate naturally, with automation enhancing the process.

    Step 3: The Go-Live event training, live demo, and Q&A

    The highlight of this rollout was the Go-Live event at Gulf Cryo’s office, where teams attended an in-person session led by Yomly. The day was structured around what matters most when launching a new platform: clarity and confidence.

    Live platform demo

    Our team walked Gulf Cryo through a live demo of the Yomly platform, covering the day-to-day actions users need most, including:

    • Navigating the platform interface
    • Employee profile views and data access
    • Core HR actions and requests
    • Manager workflows and approvals
    • Reporting visibility and key dashboards

    This was designed not only to show the system, but to demonstrate how it supports real HR operations.

    Practical training for real users

    Training is most effective when it is grounded in reality, so rather than simply listing features, we walked teams through real-life scenarios and the steps they would take in the platform. This included use cases like:

    • Submitting HR requests correctly
    • Updating employee information
    • Tracking request statuses
    • Completing approval flows
    • Managing employee documents

    High engagement and questions

    One of the best signs of a successful onboarding session is an engaged audience, and Gulf Cryo’s team brought exactly that. To ensure the entire organization could participate, Yomly conducted two Go-Live enablement sessions on the 20th and the 27th, following the same interactive format for both sessions.

    Across both sessions, engagement was strong, with approximately 30 attendees onsite and around 580 participants joining online, demonstrating clear enthusiasm and readiness across the wider team to adopt the platform. The Q&A portion was especially valuable, with teams raising thoughtful, practical questions that reflected real day-to-day operational needs. Topics included:

    • How to submit multiple expenses in one go, how to correctly attach receipts, and understanding the expense submission cut-off

       

    • Questions related to mobile app login and troubleshooting access

       

    • How managers can apply leave on behalf of their direct reports and how approvals work in different scenarios

       

    • “What happens if…” situations and workflow edge cases

       

    • Clarifying user responsibilities across HR, managers, and employees

       

    • Operational best practices to reduce mistakes and improve speed

       

    • How to get the most value from Yomly quickly after Go-Live

    This open dialogue is critical to long-term success: it strengthens user confidence, reduces friction post-launch, and ensures teams align on consistent ways of working, ultimately driving faster adoption and better HR operational outcomes.

    Step 4: Post Go-Live support and continuous enablement

    Go-Live isn’t the finish line, it’s the beginning of operational adoption. Following the event, Yomly continues to support Gulf Cryo with:

    • Structured check-ins with key stakeholders
    • Ongoing user support and troubleshooting
    • Adoption tracking and process optimization
    • Additional training as teams expand usage

    This ensures the platform remains a long-term operational asset, not just a software tool.

    A successful Go-Live is really about people

    Successful HR transformation is about empowering teams. The Gulf Cryo Go-Live event was a strong example of what happens when organizations prioritize user enablement, not just implementation. The energy in the room, the quality of questions, and the engagement with the platform reflected a shared commitment to making the rollout successful.

    We’re proud to welcome Gulf Cryo onto Yomly and look forward to supporting their continued HR and payroll modernization.

    تسليط الضوء على إطلاق Yomly: دعم فريق INSEAB خلال عملية إطلاق المنصة بنجاح

    Launching a new HR and payroll platform is a major milestone for any organization. It signals a move toward greater efficiency, enhanced compliance, and a more connected employee experience. At Yomly, we believe a successful Go-Live goes far beyond technical implementation, it’s about aligning processes, empowering users, and ensuring every team feels confident from day one.

    Recently, Yomly partnered with INSEAB (formerly Shamal Holding) to successfully onboard their growing team onto the Yomly platform. This journey culminated in a comprehensive Go-Live enablement program designed to guide employees through the system and support a seamless transition into daily operations. With over 70 employees across the region, INSEAB is now equipped with a unified HR and payroll solution built to support both local and regional teams.

    Building a strong foundation before Go-Live

    Ahead of launch, the Yomly and INSEAB teams worked closely to ensure every aspect of the rollout was aligned with real operational needs. This preparation phase included:

    • Defining onboarding timelines and key success milestones
    • Configuring the platform to reflect INSEAB’s HR and payroll workflows
    • Setting up role-based access for HR teams, managers, and employees
    • Validating employee data and approval structures
    • Embedding compliance requirements across processes

    This collaborative approach ensured the platform was not only technically ready but fully optimized to support INSEAB’s day-to-day operations from the outset.

    Tailoring Yomly to match INSEAB’s operational structure

    Every organization is unique, and Yomly’s flexible configuration allows the platform to adapt accordingly. For INSEAB, this meant setting up:

    • Organizational structures and reporting lines
    • Employee records and documentation workflows
    • HR request processes and approval journeys
    • Policy-driven rules for HR actions
    • Payroll-related data configurations where applicable

    By aligning Yomly with INSEAB’s existing structure, the platform now operates seamlessly within their business while introducing automation to drive efficiency and accuracy.

    Go-Live enablement sessions: hands-on training in real scenarios

    To ensure strong adoption, Yomly’s Training Consultant, Paula Gerardo, led two engaging enablement sessions: A virtual session for INSEAB’s team in Saudi Arabia and an on-site session at their Dubai office in DIFC.

    Live platform walkthroughs

    During the sessions, employees were guided through key areas of the Yomly platform, including:

    • Navigating the system interface
    • Accessing employee profiles and information
    • Submitting HR requests and tracking progress
    • Manager approval workflows
    • Key dashboards and reporting views

    These walkthroughs allowed teams to experience firsthand how Yomly supports everyday HR and payroll tasks.

    Practical, scenario-based training

    Rather than focusing purely on features, the sessions were built around real use cases employees would encounter, such as:

    • Updating personal information
    • Uploading documents
    • Submitting and managing HR requests
    • Following approval flows
    • Understanding roles and responsibilities

    This hands-on approach helped build confidence and accelerate adoption from day one.

    Strong engagement and meaningful discussions

    INSEAB’s team demonstrated high engagement throughout the sessions, asking thoughtful questions and exploring best practices for daily operations. Discussions covered:

    • Tips for faster platform navigation
    • Approval workflows across different scenarios
    • Efficient handling of common HR actions
    • Clarifying user responsibilities
    • Best practices for smooth processes

    These interactive conversations are a key driver of long-term success, helping teams align on consistent and efficient ways of working.

    Ongoing support beyond Go-Live

    Yomly’s partnership with INSEAB continues well beyond launch day. Our team provides:

    • Regular check-ins with key stakeholders
    • Ongoing technical and user support
    • Adoption monitoring and optimization
    • Additional training as needed

    This continuous enablement ensures INSEAB continues to unlock maximum value from the platform as their business grows.

    Empowering people for long-term HR success

    A successful platform launch is ultimately about empowering employees with the right tools and knowledge. INSEAB’s Go-Live journey highlights the importance of strong preparation, hands-on training, and close collaboration in achieving a smooth transition. We’re proud to welcome INSEAB to the Yomly platform and look forward to supporting their ongoing HR and payroll transformation.
