HR Shouldn't Feel This Hard
Multiple tools that don’t talk to each other, clunky processes, error-prone workflows, and no compliance safeguards.
Vendors that disappear after go-live, plus the hidden cost of multiple contracts, licences, and fixes.
Permissions issues, outdated policies, and gaps that make it hard to enforce UK/EU legislation and keep data secure.
Payroll mistakes and slow reporting erode trust from employees and leadership - and once it’s gone, it’s hard to win back.
Considering SAP SuccessFactors?
SmartStart combines the power of SAP SuccessFactors with a pre-configured approach designed for UK & Ireland organisations. Fast to deploy, affordable to run, and built to scale.
* SmartStart combines SAP SuccessFactors licences and a defined implementation scope into a predictable annual cost. Pricing is based on your organisation size, selected modules and contract term, giving you a clear per-user annual cost from the outset. As your requirements change, the solution can scale with you, with additional services and ongoing support available separately.

Questions about SmartStart?
Is SAP SuccessFactors realistic for an organisation of our size?
Yes. SmartStart is designed to make SAP SuccessFactors accessible to UK and Ireland organisations typically with 150–2,500 employees. Its pre-configured approach gives growing organisations access to enterprise-grade HR technology without the complexity of a fully tailored implementation.
How is SmartStart priced, and what is defined in advance?
SmartStart provides a predictable annual cost based on your organisation size, selected modules and contract term. SAP SuccessFactors licences and a defined implementation scope are factored into the annual cost, giving you a clear per-user annual figure from the outset. Additional services and ongoing support are available separately.
What does a pre-configured SAP SuccessFactors deployment include?
SmartStart gives you a ready-to-configure SAP SuccessFactors foundation built around proven HR processes rather than starting from scratch. The solution can include Core HR, Recruitment and Performance & Goals, with a defined implementation scope designed to make deployment faster, simpler and more predictable.
How quickly can it go live, and what do we need to provide?
SmartStart can go live in as little as 2–4 weeks for organisations ready to move quickly. Jigsaw configures the solution, imports and validates your employee data and trains your HR team, while you provide the required data, decisions and availability to keep the implementation moving.
Can it scale as we grow?
Yes. SmartStart is designed to scale as your organisation grows. Your annual cost reflects factors such as organisation size, selected modules and contract term, while the SAP SuccessFactors foundation means you can expand your HR capabilities over time rather than replacing the system as your requirements become more sophisticated.
