Mercans Launches the World’s First AI-Powered Globally Intelligent Workforce & Leave Management Engine
17.12.2025 11:50:00 CET | Business Wire | Press release
A Unified Platform That Converts Unevaluated Time Data into Country- and Client-Compliant Workforce Transactions in Real Time
Mercans, a global leader in payroll technology, workforce management, and HR SaaS solutions, today announced the launch of its next-generation Workforce Management (WFM) and Leave Management Engine - the world’s first platform capable of evaluating unevaluated time and attendance data against any country-specific legislation and client-specific policy framework, and converting it into fully evaluated, payroll-ready time transactions.
This breakthrough engine fundamentally transforms how organizations manage time, attendance, and leave across borders by eliminating manual rule interpretation, fragmented systems, and country-by-country customizations.
Solving a Global Workforce Challenge
Traditional time and attendance systems capture raw or unevaluated data - clock-ins, clock-outs, absences, and leave requests - but fail to interpret that data in context. The result is heavy dependence on manual validations, local heuristics, and payroll adjustments that are error-prone, non-scalable, and compliance-risky.
Mercans’ new engine changes this paradigm.
The platform ingests unevaluated workforce data and applies thousands of jurisdiction-specific and client-defined rules, including labor laws, collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), company policies, and exception logic to produce evaluated time and attendance transactions that are immediately consumable by payroll, finance, and compliance systems.
Key Breakthrough Capabilities
Universal Rule Intelligence
- Supports any country, any labor regulation, and any client policy
- Covers working time rules, overtime, night work, public holidays, rest periods, on-call rules, breaks, shift premiums, and leave accruals
AI-Driven Time Evaluation Engine
- Converts raw time stamps into legally and contractually evaluated time
- Automatically classifies transactions into regular hours, overtime tiers, premiums, and statutory or contractual exceptions
Unified Workforce & Leave Logic
- Seamlessly integrates time, attendance, leave, and absences into a single evaluative framework
- Supports statutory leave, contractual leave, special leave, and country-specific accrual and entitlement models
Payroll-Ready Output
- Produces fully evaluated, auditable transactions that directly feed payroll, ERP, and financial systems
- Eliminates manual payroll adjustments and reconciliations
Auditability & Compliance by Design
- Every evaluated transaction includes a complete rule-trace and compliance logic trail
- Built for statutory audits, internal controls, and enterprise governance requirements
“For decades, global employers have accepted that time and attendance must be manually interpreted country by country. We rejected that assumption,” said Tatjana Domovits, Group CEO at Mercans.
“This engine does not just track time. It understands time in the context of law, policy, and contractual obligation. It creates a single global language for workforce transactions.”
Purpose-Built for Global Enterprises
The Mercans Workforce & Leave Management Engine is designed for:
- Multinational enterprises
- Distributed and hybrid workforces
- Highly regulated industries
- Organizations seeking compliance-first, AI-driven HR and payroll operations
By separating data capture from rule evaluation, Mercans enables clients to use any front-end time capture solution while relying on Mercans’ intelligent engine as the single source of truth for evaluated workforce data.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those
