Sydney, AU. — May 21, 2025 — Nintex, a global leader in AI-powered process automation and application development, today announced Nintex Employee Onboarding, a new pre-built solution that significantly reduces the time needed to complete employee onboarding tasks – driving faster ramp to productivity for new hires, reducing costs to the business from onboarding delays, and reducing administrative burden on HR, Finance and IT teams. Nintex Solutions are designed to solve specific use-case challenges that require collaboration across many departments and systems, greatly improving time-to-value for customers.
'Employee onboarding touches every employee that enters an organisation. As a result, getting it right isn't only important for employee experience and retention, but delays and disruptions throughout onboarding can negatively impact a business's bottom line,' said Niranjan Vijayaragavan, Chief Product Officer at Nintex. 'Getting the onboarding experience right requires tight coordination across HR, Finance, IT, and hiring managers across all business units. Nintex Employee Onboarding brings these teams together to improve efficiency internally and provide a more consistent experience for new employees.'
Onboarding experiences influence employee productivity and retention
According to research, 80% of employees who have a poor onboarding experience plan to leave soon after joining. Even further, 17% of new hires will leave a new job sometime between their first seven and 90 days of employment. Additionally, the average cost to onboard a single employee is $1,500, which means if you hired 100 employees, that's a total of $25,500 wasted on 17 employees who left your company within the first 90 days.
While many organisations have automated key HR use cases through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), critical onboarding workflows are often left manual as this process typically spans across multiple systems and requires collaboration across departments.
Improve new hire onboarding processes and reduce associated costs with Nintex
Many organisations have an HR system that they rely on for core HR processes, but have added numerous applications to manage employee onboarding – complicating the process further. With Nintex Employee Onboarding, HR, Finance, and IT teams have a purpose-built solution that allows them to remove bolt-on tools and easily integrate onboarding into core systems, enabling them to:
Create branded new hire portals. HR teams can easily configure onboarding flows without technical support to provide a branded experience where new hires can complete key tasks using a self-service interface.
Automate new employee setup. Import new employee data into HRIS systems through an out-of-the-box integration, removing the need for redundant data entry.
Customise approvals, documents, and signatures. Modify onboarding steps, business system integration settings, and day one information for each role type.
Set up an internal operations portal. Launch pre-built processes to initiate new hires, configure roles, track progress, and more in a single, intuitive, end-to-end system.
The Nintex Employee Onboarding solution was built using Nintex Solution Studio – a portal that helps IT and business teams easily design and build solutions that automate the unique business process challenges of their organisations – and adds to the growing set of pre-built solutions from Nintex, including Nintex Licensing & Permitting for public sector agencies.
Nintex is now expanding the availability of Nintex Licensing and Permitting to government customers across the APAC region. First introduced in 2024 for U.S. state and local agencies, this ready-to-deploy solution simplifies and digitises complex permitting processes, improves citizen and business experiences, and reduces manual workloads for government staff, helping agencies accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.

How to present HR software to your finance team
The finance questions you need to prepare for If you're preparing to pitch an investment in HR software to your organisation, you'll need to be ready for some pointed questions from the finance team. We asked Katherine Landon, Senior Vice President of Finance at ELMO Software, what every HR leader should know before heading into a conversation with finance, and how to approach it with confidence. "What's the ROI and how was it calculated"? Finance leaders will often lead with this question when assessing the viability of a proposed investment The expected Return on Investment (ROI) must be clear, demonstrable and credible. To assist, ELMO Software commissioned an independent Total Economic Impact (TEI) study, conducted by Forrester Consulting to provide real numbers. A representative organisation made up of 500 employees and seven full-time HR staff found a 129% return on investment. "When we ask for ROI, we're not just looking for a statistic," says Katherine Landon. "We're assessing whether the return is realistic, how rigorously it's been calculated, and whether the assumptions hold up under scrutiny with a clear assessment of the underlying costs and benefits to the business A well defined ROI will clearly articulate how effectively an investment generates profit in order for a business to make informed decisions in allocating capital. Start by developing a business-specific ROI using a credible tool, such as the Forrester TEI calculator. "Is this a cost centre or a value generator"? This is common finance framing. You'll need to differentiate between strategic spending and spending that's discretionary. To navigate this, your job will be to show how the investment creates value beyond its immediate function. Katherine gives us some insight here. "Good financial stewardship means we challenge every spend: does it just increase our cost base, or does it provide true value to the business either at the top of the funnel or to strengthen the core foundation of a business to scale?" Katherine notes. "A genuine value generator creates capacity, resilience, and often, competitive advantage. That's what your business case needs to communicate." Emphasis the value of the investment in HRIS as a means to: Reduce operating costs without reducing output Scale functions without a linear increase in headcount Strengthen compliance and governance while minimising manual effort Deliver clearer workforce data for better strategic decisions "What's the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)"? Although there'll always be a degree of variability when it comes to TCO, you need to be as thorough as you can. Mature financial cases do not downplay costs, they demonstrate rigour and transparency. Part of this rigour will be to engage with your vendor to assist in establishing TOC. "What risks does this mitigate"? Strategic investments like HRIS should reduce the risk for the whole organisation, not just improve your HR workflows. Some of the biggest risks lie in processes such as, emailing sensitive information, paper records, data duplication, and points of human error. Finance, legal & risk teams will be acutely aware that manual inputs are the biggest point of risk. The more touchpoints you have, the more you expose yourself to human error or data breach. Automation is key to risk mitigation and this is where the value of software emerges. Focus on aspects that address organisational risk such as: Data protection through ISO certification Local data hosting in Australia Role based access, segregation of duties and audit control-based environment Reduced compliance and audit exposure through mandatory training and accurate record keeping Automated workflows with a single input touchpoint that minimise manual error "How does it support strategic business outcomes, not just HR tasks"? This is where you must shift the narrative from HR efficiency to outcomes and value. Finance leads will look to understand the relationship between HRIS and tangible enterprise-wide results. "Efficiency in isolation is a limited story," Katherine points out. "You need to translate operational gains into strategic outcomes, whether that's scalability, improved retention economics, or faster time-to-productivity. It's about showing how this elevates and supports business growth, not just HR's performance." Frame your proposal to show how HR gains translate into: Reallocation of time to higher-value activities Data-driven insights for more agile workforce decisions Faster onboarding and productivity ramp-up Stronger compliance with fewer manual interventions Increased recruitment efficiency with reduced time-to-hire "Does it integrate with existing payroll and finance systems"? Finance teams value interconnected systems as they can reduce error, improve analysis, and streamline reporting. Make sure you have the right information about compatibility and integrations. "System silos are a hidden cost centre," Katherine says. "Every manual handoff is an opportunity for error or rework". When you can show seamless integration across systems like HR, ERP and payroll, you're demonstrating that you understand the operational efficiencies that finance expects. Be ready to discuss: Real time payroll synchronisation Elimination of duplicate data entry Data consistency across platforms Broader integrations beyond payroll "Is this a 'nice to have' or a 'need to have'"? This is a familiar question raised that requires a clear, confident response. "When we challenge whether something is discretionary, what we're really asking is: does it strengthen our ability to operate, grow, and scale our business?" Katherine clarifies. "A true 'need to have' is an enabler of strategy, agility, and business resilience." Position your proposal as a critical enabler that: Provides a clear payback window and measurable ROI Consolidates and secures sensitive data Supports growth without proportional headcount increases Strengthens governance and risk management Improves decision-making quality at the leadership level "What's the NPV and PV"? Longer-term investments need to demonstrate value over time, not just in the first year. This is where Net Present Value (NPV) and Present Value (PV) become particularly useful when modelling investments with multi-year outcomes. "Net Present Value and Present Value reflect your ability to think like a stakeholder or financial decision maker," Katherine explains. "It's not just about return, it's about when that return materialises and whether it appropriately includes the time value of money. That perspective separates tactical spending from strategic investment." Arriving at these figures can be challenging. One way is to use the Forrester TEI calculator to predict NPV and PV, which will illustrate long-term value, backed by realistic cash flow projections. What's the best way to present a business case to finance? A strong business case balances optimism with realism. Finance teams will question whether you can demonstrate that you've stress-tested your assumptions, captured the full cost, and anchored the benefits to tangible outcomes. This ensures that you're not just spending wisely, but investing for the organisation's future. Check your proposal: Have you calculated a credible, tailored ROI? Is your data accurate and current? Have you accounted for full TCO? Can you clearly connect benefits to organisational goals? Does it address integration, security and risk mitigation? When you can answer these questions with confidence, you're ready to present a credible financial case. Finance terms cheat sheet Some bonus help in speaking the right language: ROI = (Benefits less cost ÷ Total Cost) NPV = Today's (discounted) future net cash flows given an interest rate (the discount rate). A positive project NPV normally indicates that the investment should be made unless other projects have higher NPVs PV = Today's (discounted) cost and benefit estimates given at an interest rate (the discount rate). The PV of costs and benefits feed into the total NPV of cash flows Payback Period = Time taken to break even Ready to make a strong business case? Use the Forrester TEI calculator to generate your custom ROI and demonstrate the value ELMO will bring to your organisation.

Keith Andrews Trucks Accelerates Onboarding And Safety Innovation With Nintex
Nintex, a global leader in AI-powered process automation and application development, today announced that Keith Andrews Trucks has transformed how it operates and scales, digitising everything from onboarding to safety reporting and customer feedback with the Nintex Automation CE Platform. Founded in Whangārei more than 30 years ago, Keith Andrews Trucks has grown into one of New Zealand's largest independent commercial vehicle dealerships, with a national network of branches representing FUSO, Mercedes-Benz, and Freightliner. However, with the company undergoing rapid expansion, including acquiring three new branches in late 2023, the company needed a more streamlined approach to onboarding and compliance. 'When you're bringing on one person, it's quite easy to manage, but we had to onboard around 65 staff all at once across multiple new branches – this would have been chaotic using our old manual processes,' said Colleen Houlker, Group Manager Business Optimisation at Keith Andrews Trucks. 'We had several legacy systems, so Nintex automation helped us make the most gains. Across HR specifically, we created a tailored, automated induction experience complete with standardised documentation and triggered digital contract signing – significantly lightening the admin load for our HR team. It turned what could have been a massive headache into a smooth process." The onboarding success is just one part of a broader digital transformation. Keith Andrews Trucks is now using the Nintex Automation CE Platform for everything from process mapping and improvements tracking to workflow automation and document generation. The company has built new safety and compliance tools using Nintex, including automated health and safety observation forms. The company is also using Nintex to gather and act on customer feedback more effectively. Whether via a QR code in a truck cab or a post-service email, customer compliments and complaints are logged through the Nintex platform, giving the company a clearer view of service performance across its national network. Looking ahead, Keith Andrews Trucks plans to extend its automation work further, including deeper integration between Nintex and Salesforce, exploring robotic process automation (RPA), and expanding document generation to support more external-facing processes. With a single internal champion driving most of the work to date, the company sees an opportunity to grow its digital capability across departments. 'We wanted one partner who could do it all – process mapping, automation, document generation, etc. – we found that with Nintex,' said Houlker. 'Now we have a complete toolkit to map, manage, and optimise our processes in one place. It saves us juggling multiple vendors and makes it easier to scale what we're doing.' 'Keith Andrews Trucks is proof that by applying intelligent, AI-powered automation to process, businesses can unlock untold levels of efficiency,' said Keith Payne, Regional Vice President, APAC at Nintex. 'They're showing what happens when a legacy-heavy industry leans into transformation, unlocking real results in speed, safety, and customer experience. This is process automation done right.'

Nintex Survey Finds Australian IT Leaders Embrace AI As SaaS Sprawl Undermines Productivity
Press Release – Nintex While most acknowledge the problem 93% say that addressing SaaS sprawl should be a top priority more than half (58%) admit their current orchestration processes are ineffective. This was the highest rate across all countries surveyed, and the … Australian mid-market organisations are contending with a growing software sprawl crisis, with 49% juggling between 51 and 200 SaaS tools, and half adding a new tool every two to four weeks. To overcome this, Australians are turning to AI, with 92% deploying AI to detect redundant apps, automate integrations, and optimise tool usage — a rate higher than any other nation surveyed. These findings are from the 2025 SaaS Sprawl Snapshot, a study* commissioned by Nintex, a global leader in AI-powered process automation and application development, which surveyed 2,000 IT decision-makers across four countries. The Australian findings reveal a wave of unbridled software proliferation that is slowing workflows, increasing compliance risk, and consuming IT resources at an unsustainable rate. 'In Australia, software sprawl is holding organisations back and taking the wind out of their sails. Budgets are overflowing, compliance risks are piling up, and scaling feels like sailing with a dropped anchor,' said Keith Payne, Regional Vice President, APAC at Nintex. 'Nearly every mid-market organisation knows it's a problem, but with IT teams stretched thin, fixing it can feel like trying to bail out a sinking ship with a teacup.' While most acknowledge the problem — 93% say that addressing SaaS sprawl should be a top priority — more than half (58%) admit their current orchestration processes are ineffective. This was the highest rate across all countries surveyed, and the impact is being felt. The vast majority (91%) report a moderate-to-major financial impact, while 41% cite rising security and compliance risks, and over a third (34%) say sprawl is directly limiting their ability to scale. Despite this, 77% place full responsibility for managing SaaS sprawl on IT teams that are often under-resourced and stretched thin, without the time, budget, or headcount to implement a cohesive strategy. 'Many local organisations are layering new software over old processes in a race to fill capability gaps with band-aid fixes,' said Payne. 'It might solve the problem of the day, but over time it's creating deeper disconnections between systems, teams, and workflows.' While the report found that Australia leads other countries in leveraging AI to overcome software sprawl, the path to resolution will require more than just AI. The report highlights deeper systemic issues, including a lack of staff enablement. Only 34% provide training to help employees effectively use software, a critical gap that contributes to shelfware and shadow IT. 'Let's be clear, no amount of software can save a broken process,' Payne said. 'If organisations keep piling on tools without fixing the foundations, they're not transforming, they're treading water with a sinking stack.'
