- HR & People App
Your HR team saves hours every week.
From onboarding to absences — HR work entirely in Microsoft 365. Employee management, digital personnel file, recruiting and absences in one system: new employees are captured digitally, workflows handle reminders and approvals, and AI helps with candidate selection.
30 minutes · no obligation · no standard sales pitch
What your HR team no longer has to do manually from tomorrow.
Built by process experts — not by software developers who have never worked in an HR department.
Central employee management
A single source of truth for all employee data. No more duplicate Excel lists, no outdated paper files — all information central, up to date and instantly available to authorised staff.
Digital personnel file
All of an employee’s documents — contracts, references, certificates — stored securely and digitally. Every change is traceable, every access logged. Ready for audits and authorities.
Automated HR processes
Onboarding starts automatically as soon as a position is filled. Approvals go through the right channel. Deadlines are never missed. Your HR team focuses on people — not checklists.
Absences & leave management
Leave requests, sick notes, home-office days — all requested digitally and approved in seconds. Synced directly with Outlook: no duplicate calendars, no manual updating.
Dashboards & analytics
Turnover, sick leave, absence rates, team structures — at a glance as a visual dashboard. Monthly and quarterly reports at the push of a button. Data you can show to management.
Microsoft 365 integration
The HR App runs where your team already works: Microsoft Teams, Outlook and SharePoint. No login to a new system, no training for new tools — your staff are ready from day one.
Everything your HR team needs — modular, expandable, ready to use.
Employee management — one source, all data
Manage all core personnel data centrally in a flexible employee database and create digital personnel files for contracts, IDs and documents. With automatic change logs, smart export functions and the scan-to-HR feature, you save time and ensure traceability. The dashboard shows you key figures, dates and events clearly at a glance.
Time tracking & absences — right in Outlook
Record working hours flexibly by clock-in or manually – the system calculates balances and working-time models automatically. Manage holidays, absences and approval processes centrally with an integrated Outlook calendar and deputy rules. Real-time statistics and target/actual comparisons give you full control over absence planning.
Recruiting & applicant management — with AI screening
Optimise your recruiting with AI-powered application screening that analyses and rates candidates automatically. Publish job ads automatically to LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Jobs and your website directly from the tool. Interview and appointment management with e-signature and automatic deadline tracking make the entire process more efficient.
Onboarding & offboarding — automated from day 1
Automate the start of new employees with digital onboarding links, uploads and role assignment. Control mandatory training, tasks and reminders on a schedule and monitor progress transparently. A standardised offboarding with checklists and data archiving ensures professional exit management.
Development & performance — goals, feedback, bonuses in one
Define goals, conduct performance reviews and capture 360-degree feedback in a structured way in the system. Plan training, manage certificates and use flexible bonus systems at employee, team or company level. An employee timeline documents development and career events transparently.
Expenses & payroll
Manage expense reports and payroll processes centrally with photo upload, approval workflow and automatic overviews. Use transparent views for HR and management as well as advanced payroll administration with cost-of-living adjustments and scenarios. Optionally, you can connect the system to ELM 5.0 (additional licence costs possible).
Reporting & people analytics — figures for management
Monitor central HR metrics such as turnover, sick leave and absences in real time via dashboards. Spot trends in your workforce structure and organisational developments through people analytics. Automatically generate monthly, quarterly or ad-hoc reports and export custom analyses as Excel or PDF.
Workflows & automation — Power Automate included
Design HR processes flexibly with a workflow engine for manual, automatic and scheduled flows. Control access via Microsoft Entra ID and automate notifications in Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft apps. Reduce manual tasks and sustainably increase process efficiency.

Your questions about the HR App
Is the HR tool GDPR-compliant?
Yes — because the HR App is built on Microsoft 365 (SharePoint), you automatically benefit from Microsoft’s data protection infrastructure. Data is stored in European data centres. For Switzerland, the revised DPA also applies. We’re happy to advise you with any questions.
Can we import existing employee data?
Yes — existing data from Excel, HR systems or other tools can be imported. We handle the migration as part of the setup so you work with complete data from the start.
How does onboarding work for new employees?
As soon as a new person is entered in the system, a predefined onboarding workflow starts automatically: documents are sent, mandatory training assigned, IT access requested, introduction dates scheduled. Your new employee experiences a professional first day — without manual to-do lists.
Can training and certificates be managed?
Yes — the HR App manages training plans, attendance, certificates and expiry dates centrally. Reminders for soon-to-expire certificates are sent automatically. Ideal for companies with statutory training obligations.
Is the tool integrated into Microsoft Teams?
Yes, fully. Leave requests, notifications, tasks and approvals run directly in Teams. Your staff don’t need to open a new app — everything happens where the work takes place.
Can I create analyses and reports?
Yes — in a few clicks you get reports on turnover, sick leave, absences, team structures and more. Exports as Excel or PDF for management presentations included.
Who is behind Digital Airways?
Dario and Cesar — two Swiss professionals with experience in process optimisation and Microsoft technologies. No anonymous offshore team, no large company that treats you as a ticket. Direct contact, personal support.
How long does a typical implementation take?
Usually 2–4 weeks for the basic setup. Including data migration, configuration to your needs, training of your HR team and go-live support. After that you’re self-sufficient — or covered by our optional support package.
The end of Excel lists — see live what modern HR looks like.
