Build end-to-end workflows and facilitate collaboration between the different stakeholders involved in the headcount planning process.
Connect your different systems (ATS, HRIS, ERP) with robust integrations and data flows, and build an effective headcount plan based on accurate and real-time data.
Visualize and model any hierarchy of your organization, directly in Pigment.
Headcount planning forecasts how many people, in which roles, you need and what they cost, usually over the next budget cycle. Workforce planning is broader: it includes skills, retention, succession, talent acquisition and compensation over a longer horizon. Pigment supports both on one platform, with headcount planning as the financial core.
Start from business objectives and revenue targets, then translate them into roles, timing and cost: current employees, planned hires, attrition and compensation assumptions. Test scenarios, route open positions through approval and compare plan with actuals. In Pigment you build this in one model connected to your HRIS, ATS and ERP, so the plan stays aligned with finance.
Pigment's headcount planning includes real-time integrations with HRIS, ATS and ERP, to-be-hired approval workflows, organizational charts, customizable forecasting models and scenario analysis. AI adds the Analyst Agent for budgeted-versus-actual gaps, the Modeler Agent for model changes and Frames for leadership views. You can project staffing needs, manage budget constraints and adapt to change.
Pigment gives HR, finance, talent acquisition and hiring managers a shared line of sight on one plan. End-to-end workflows route hiring requests for approval, comments keep discussions in context and scenarios test the cost of different hiring paths. Finance sees the budget impact in real time, while hiring managers see only what they need, which cuts the time it takes to make and approve decisions.
redictions can project headcount from your live data, and the Analyst Agent identifies gaps between budgeted and actual headcount and explains the impact on revenue and bottom line targets. The Modeler Agent extends the model, for example with new roles or cost rules, and Frames builds leadership views. With the MCP Server, external AI tools can query the governed plan.
