An early scale up around four and a half years old, it employs roughly 30 people today and is planning to grow to between 45 and 60 over the next 12 months as part of a wider global expansion. The Challenge ## Fragmented tools and too much manual work Before Factorial, the two biggest problems were fragmentation and manual workload. Core people operations such as onboarding, leave tracking, documentation and reporting were spread across several tools and spreadsheets. Onboarding in particular lacked structure. Without a clear, repeatable process, it was harder to give every new hire the same start and to communicate the company's culture and expectations consistently. The previous setup leaned on Google Sheets, basic HR and admin tools, and manual document storage. That mix was flexible and cheap in the early days, but it simply did not scale with the business. The trigger for change was the move into a stronger growth phase. The firm needed a centralised, automated system that could support both operational efficiency and a consistent, high quality employee experience. ![A scaling team coordinating across multiple countries](/__l5e/assets-v1/bd1ae6c9-7692-491f-a5ea-24edddc5f467/instant-funding-fact-1.avif) ### The limitations added up: - Heavy manual input and a high risk of errors - No real automation across people processes - Limited, time consuming analytics - No centralised employee experience The Solution ## Why Factorial, why Faqtic Instant Funding came across Factorial through research into modern HR platforms suited to scaling companies, backed up by recommendations from its network. The brief was clear: an all in one solution that could automate manual processes while improving visibility and the employee experience. The full rollout, from setup to going live, took just a few weeks. ### The criteria that mattered most: - Ease of use and strong automation - Scalable infrastructure - Reporting and analytics - Integration potential - Fast implementation and cost efficiency ### Today, Instant Funding leans on Factorial for: - Automated onboarding workflows - Leave and attendance management - Document management - Employee records - Reporting and analytics The decision was a team effort. The People and Culture Manager focused on usability, automation and employee experience. Leadership looked at scalability, reporting and cost. Finance weighed efficiency and return on investment. Factorial matched on every front, and Faqtic was the partner chosen to put it into practice. The Results ## Less admin, faster onboarding, clearer decisions Instant Funding now saves roughly 8 to 12 hours a week in HR admin. Onboarding is significantly faster and more consistent, and leave and approvals have been streamlined to near real time, with approvals now taking hours instead of days. ![A trading firm reviewing real time HR analytics](/__l5e/assets-v1/bd1ae6c9-7692-491f-a5ea-24edddc5f467/instant-funding-fact-1.avif) ### The business impact: - Admin time down 50 to 60 percent - Onboarding time down 30 to 40 percent - Centralised records improving compliance and audit readiness - Real time analytics supporting better decisions - Operational scalability without adding HR headcount Adoption has been strong. Employees and managers picked the platform up quickly because it is simple and transparent, so only light touch enablement was needed. The feedback has been simple and consistent: everything is in one place and easy to use, and onboarding feels much more structured and professional. "Factorial has transformed how we operate.
