As a leading global multinational manufacturing enterprise, Innomotics specializes in the field of high-precision industrial equipment manufacturing, with operations spanning dozens of countries worldwide. In China alone, the company operates in dozens of cities and employs thousands of staff. During the critical phase of business spin-off from the former Siemens system and the transition to independent operations, human resources management emerged as the core challenge of the transformation\u2014how to rapidly assume existing HR services, establish an autonomous and compliant management system, and achieve a leapfrog improvement in workforce efficiency became an urgent issue for Innomotics to resolve. To address this, Innomotics partnered with CDP Group, adopting a dual-engine model centered on \"Payroll Outsourcing\" and \"HR SSC.\" In just six months, they completed the establishment of the HR Shared Service Center from scratch and the full-process transfer of services. This not only ensured a \"zero-risk\" transition during the business spin-off but also restructured the company's HR management logic, setting a benchmark for digital HR transformation in multinational manufacturing enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I. Triple HR Challenges During the Transition: Traditional Models Fall Short <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following its spin-off from the former Siemens system, Innomotics' HR management faced three core challenges: service handover, operational efficiency, and model innovation. Compounded by the industry's characteristics\u2014large workforce, cross-regional operations, and stringent compliance requirements\u2014traditional HR management models were completely inadequate to meet the company's needs for independent operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Core Services Faced Disruption Risks; Seamless Handover Was Urgent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Innomotics previously relied on Siemens' SSC to handle core HR services such as payroll processing, social insurance reporting, and personnel file management. Following the spin-off, these existing services were terminated, necessitating the rapid assumption of comprehensive HR functions covering a large, cross-regional workforce within a short timeframe. Any disruption in the transition would directly impact the company's normal operations, making service continuity and stability the primary test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Significant Gap in Human Resource Efficiency; Management Pressure Surges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The former Siemens SSC handled the day-to-day operations of comprehensive HR processes, whereas Innomotics' existing HR team struggles to quickly assume such a massive workload. There is a significant efficiency gap in the transition of core functions and processes. Additionally, cross-regional payroll calculations and employee lifecycle management further intensify the pressure on human resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Low Adaptability of Traditional Models; Urgent Need for Centralized, Innovative Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional service models, such as simple payroll outsourcing, cannot meet Innomotics' core objective of establishing an autonomous, efficient, and compliant global human resources management system. The company urgently requires an innovative model that achieves a win-win scenario of cost optimization and efficiency improvement, driving the transformation of HR management from \"execution\" to \"strategic support.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Prominent Compliance and Process Risks, Lagging Standardization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the spin-off, the company's internal HR processes contained numerous compliance risks, with several core processes requiring streamlining and optimization. Furthermore, management standards varied across regions, and the lack of a standardized operational system not only increased business risks but also hindered the support of future global business expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this transformation, Innomotics defined its core objectives: achieving a seamless transition of HR services, establishing a standardized Human Resources Shared Service Center (HR SSC), and enhancing end-to-end digital management capabilities. These objectives became the core focus for CDP in developing a customized solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n II. Dual-Engine Drive + Six-Phase Implementation: A Standardized HR Shared Service Center Established in 6 Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Addressing Innomotics' core pain points and transformation needs, CDP Group innovatively developed a \"Payroll BPO (Payroll Outsourcing) + HR SSC (Human Resources Shared Service Center)\" dual-engine solution. Using payroll services as the entry point, leveraging payroll services to drive the digital and centralized upgrade of end-to-end HR management. A scientific six-phase implementation plan was formulated, enabling the HR SSC to go from concept to reality in just six months\u2014including process streamlining and the full transfer of services\u2014and achieving the trinity of \"systems + processes + team.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 1 (Months 1\u20132): Using Payroll as the Entry Point to Launch the Payroll BPO Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using payroll outsourcing as the core entry point, the Payroll BPO project was launched. Leveraging CDP's proprietary digital intelligence platform, the project first standardized the handling of core functions such as payroll calculation, individual income tax filing, and social insurance management. Concurrently, preliminary integration testing was completed with Innomotics' global SAP master data system, laying the foundation for subsequent automated data flow and ensuring the stability of this core payroll service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2 (Month 3): Expanding Service Scope and Finalizing the HR SSC Transfer Plan<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Building on the successful implementation of payroll services, the scope of services was expanded to include the full-process transfer of the HR SSC. CDP's expert team conducted in-depth research into Innomotics' business characteristics and management needs. After comparing three service proposals, the \"SSC+BPO\" model was ultimately selected as the optimal balance between cost and efficiency. This approach clearly established the HR SSC as the core, integrating a comprehensive service system covering the full employee lifecycle and compensation and benefits management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3 (Months 4\u20136): Core Implementation Phase\u2014Completing the Three-Dimensional Setup of Systems, Processes, and Teams<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This phase represents the core of the HR SSC setup. CDP simultaneously advanced efforts across three dimensions\u2014systems, processes, and teams: deploying and implementing the HR SSC digital system to achieve deep integration with the SAP system; comprehensively reviewing existing HR processes to optimize and consolidate them into multiple efficient, standardized workflows; and identifying and resolving compliance risk points. Assist Innomotics in establishing a dedicated HR SSC operations team, providing professional training and capability development to ensure the team can independently handle subsequent operational tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4 (Months 7\u20138): Smooth Service Handover and Seamless Transition<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Initiate the full-process service handover, seamlessly migrate massive volumes of core HR data across multiple locations, and enable the parallel operation of CDP services alongside the company's existing operations. Simultaneously, conduct company-wide service awareness campaigns to help employees quickly familiarize themselves with HR SSC service processes and coordination methods, ensuring \"zero downtime and zero complaints\" during the handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5 (Month 9): Full System and Service Launch; Official Implementation of the HR SSC<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Innomotics' Human Resources Shared Service Center (HR SSC) completed the full launch of its systems and services, achieving centralized and digitalized operations across all HR functions\u2014including compensation and benefits management, employee onboarding, transfers, reassignments, and departures, personnel file management, policy consultation, and compliance and risk control. This marks Innomotics' formal establishment of an autonomous and controllable standardized HR shared service system, making it a rare benchmark case in the industry for rapidly building an SSC from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6 (Launched in the 10th Month): Continuous Optimization and Deepening of APAP HR Process Reengineering<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Building on the stable operation of the HR SSC, CDP and Innomotics continued to conduct in-depth reengineering and optimization of APAP HR processes. This further refined the standardized operational system, established SOP templates and a compliance risk repository for HR management in the manufacturing sector, and provided more robust HR management support for the company's global business development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notably, the establishment of this HR SSC enabled Innomotics' HR processes to be separated from the Group SSC ahead of Finance and IT, marking a significant milestone in the company's business spin-off and transformation. This also validated the professionalism and implementation efficiency of CDP's solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. Four Core Innovations: Transforming the HR SSC into an \"Efficiency Engine\" for Corporate Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The HR SSC developed by CDP for Innomotics is not merely a simple integration of processes, but an innovative restructuring based on the characteristics of the manufacturing industry and the company's global needs. Through four core innovations\u2014system integration, process optimization, intelligent operations, and tiered management\u2014the HR Shared Service Center has been upgraded from an \"efficiency tool\" to an \"efficiency engine\" driving the company's transformation and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deep System Integration to Break Down Data Silos:<\/strong> Leveraging CDP's technical strengths as an SAP-recommended partner, we achieved seamless integration between the HR SSC system and Innomotics' global SAP master data system.

While fully assuming all services previously handled by the Siemens SSC, we successfully achieved centralized operations for HR functions, driving a significant improvement in organizational efficiency and freeing the HR team from tedious administrative tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI-Empowered Solutions to Enhance Operational Efficiency and Compliance:<\/strong> By integrating AI-driven tools such as automated approval workflows and ticket systems into the HR SSC, the efficiency of attendance record processing has been significantly improved. The vast majority of employees' daily inquiry needs can be swiftly addressed through intelligent systems, reducing service response times to minutes. Additionally, a built-in compliance and risk control engine enables real-time monitoring of compliance risk points, ensuring full compliance with global regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hierarchical management model for separation of core and non-core functions<\/strong>Tiered Management Model:<\/strong> Separating Core and Non-Core Functions: To address the diverse management needs of thousands of employees, a \"core-non-core\" tiered HR management model was adopted. Non-core functions\u2014such as payroll processing and social security reporting\u2014are centralized and handled by the HR SSC, while the enterprise HR team focuses on core functions like talent management and strategic planning, achieving optimal allocation of HR resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comprehensive Transformation Results:<\/strong> Setting a New Benchmark for HR Digital Transformation in Manufacturing: The in-depth collaboration between CDP and Innomotics not only enabled the rapid establishment and smooth operation of the HR SSC but also drove comprehensive improvements across five key dimensions\u2014efficiency, cost, compliance, employee experience, and strategy. This has established a benchmark case for multinational manufacturing enterprises transitioning from business spin-offs to HR management upgrades, earning high praise from Innomotics' senior leadership: \"CDP's \u2018SSC+BPO' model not only mitigated transition risks but also restructured our HR management logic through centralization and digitalization.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leapfrogging efficiency, zero error in core services<\/strong>Leapfrog Improvements in Efficiency, Zero Errors in Core Services:<\/strong> Payroll processing efficiency nearly doubled, while the error rate dropped to an extremely low level, enabling comprehensive, accurate, and zero-delay payroll disbursement for a large-scale, cross-regional workforce. Operational efficiency across the entire HR process improved significantly, with the vast majority of high-frequency employee requests receiving intelligent and rapid responses, completely resolving previous efficiency gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Substantial Cost Optimization, Freeing Up HR Resources to Focus on Strategy:<\/strong> Corporate HR operational costs have dropped by nearly one-third, successfully freeing up half of the HR workforce's time and energy. This has transformed the HR team from \"operational firefighters\" into \"strategic planners,\" enabling them to focus on core tasks such as talent development, organizational growth, and the implementation of global strategies, thereby driving the HR department's transition from a \"cost center\" to a \"value center.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comprehensive compliance safeguards support global expansion:<\/strong> Key compliance risks were thoroughly identified and resolved, and a standardized global compliance and risk management system was established. This fully meets labor and employment compliance requirements in China and worldwide, establishing a solid compliance foundation for Innomotics' global business development and enabling rapid, standardized replication of HR management practices during future business expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Significantly Enhanced Employee Experience and Organizational Cohesion:<\/strong> The centralized, digital, and intelligent HR SSC has made employee services more efficient and convenient, driving employee satisfaction to new heights. Cross-regional employee management has been standardized and harmonized, significantly strengthening employees' sense of organizational belonging and identification, and laying the foundation for building a highly cohesive talent team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serving as a Group Benchmark and Validating Model Replicability:<\/strong> This HR SSC implementation project has been recognized as a benchmark case for the year within the Innomotics Group. Its innovative \"SSC+BPO\" model provides a replicable and actionable digital transformation solution for human resources to other multinational manufacturing enterprises, and has become a classic practice of CDP's human resource management services in the smart manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IV.
