trivago, the global hotel search platform, has selected Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) providing the organisation with a single, cloud-based HR solution that is capable of providing one single source of truth for employee data, while empowering HR leaders and managers with better insights to make faster, more accurate decisions. 

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, trivago’s 1,300 global employees will benefit from Workday’s HR self-service approach, providing them with an intuitive and modern user experience across all devices.  The deployment, which is scheduled for completion in summer 2017, will see trivago transform day-to-day HR processes, such as compensation, absence management, time tracking, recruiting, expenses and performance and development.

As of September 2016, trivago’s global hotel price comparison search platform offered access to approximately 1.4 million hotels in over 190 countries: What was once a website solely available in Germany now operates in 55 markets around the world. Since 2005, the company has grown from three founders in a garage to building a new headquarter for more than 2,000 employees. Workday Human Capital Management will allow trivago’s leaders to have complete confidence in its People data and that the tool will support the company’s future growth.

“We needed an HR solution that provides the technological platform for a single, always up to date database – a solution that is flexible and especially scalable as we grow. We found this in Workday which was a “company fit” from the very beginning, “says Sian Williams, business operations & strategy – talent solutions at trivago.

“trivago is a fast growth global company with a commitment to living and breathing a strong working culture, and that means having the technology to empower and engage its leaders and workforce.” explains Christoph Kull, regional vice president, DACH region at Workday. “At Workday we are seeing many German organisations shifting their HR and finance systems to our cloud platform, taking advantage of one system, opening the door to increased agility and efficiency.”
