Know whether your workforce can deliver the strategy

For Heads of Workforce Planning, Skills and TOD at multinationals of 2,000 to 100,000+ people. MuchSkills is a skills intelligence platform that sits on top of Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or your current HRIS. It maps skills, certifications and motivation across every division, region and acquired company.

When the board asks 'do we have the skills?', you answer with trusted data in minutes, not an org chart. The data stays trusted because employees and managers keep their own profiles current.

You bought the skills module. Nobody uses it.

Enterprise skills projects rarely fail when you buy the software. They fail at adoption. Profiles sit half-empty, managers stop looking and the data is stale before the first group report.

The board wants capability. You have an org chart.

The CHRO has weeks to show whether the workforce can execute the 3 to 5 year strategy, by division and geography. An org chart shows reporting lines, not what people can do.

40,000 courses taken. What did they build?

Group L&D can count completions. It can't show which capabilities grew, or where the gaps are still open.

7 spreadsheets, 7 vocabularies

Each division, region and acquired company names skills its own way. Group reporting, including CSRD S1-13 where it applies, means stitching those sheets together by hand.

Knowledge that retires with the expert

You find out which roles depend on one person when that person hands in their notice. By then it's too late to plan the handover.

Skills-based organisations are 107% more likely to place people efficiently and 98% more likely to keep key people. (Deloitte, 2022, 'Building tomorrow's skills-based organisation')

Answer 'do we have the skills?' in minutes

Give the board a capability picture

Strategic workforce planning built on live skills data, shown by division and geography. Ready for the next board pre-read, not the one after.

Baseline skills before the AI programme starts

Run a skills gap analysis before a digital or AI transformation launches. Then make build, buy or rent decisions with data, not headcount guesses.

One group framework, not seven

Start your group skills taxonomy from 70,000+ capabilities, 12,000+ tech skills and 9,700+ certifications, not a blank sheet. Every division reports against the same framework.

Find single-person dependencies

Talent mapping shows who holds which skills and certifications. Spot the roles that rest on one expert and capture what they know before they retire.

Prove capability, not course counts

Certification tracking with an audit trail, built for ISO 9001 Clause 7.2 and mapped to ISO 27001, AS9100 and CSRD/ESRS S1 evidence requirements.

Adoption that lasts past launch

People keep their profiles current because it helps them in 1:1s, in development goals and when staffing is decided. That's why group data stays trusted.

People on the ground, not just a login

Rollouts die at adoption, so MuchSkills Services works with your team on onboarding, the group taxonomy, workforce planning and L&D.

Ask for the report, not a project

Build the reports and workflows your group needs on the skills data you already have. MuchSkills extensions are launching soon.

A skills layer on your HCM, not another replacement

Keep Workday or SAP SuccessFactors as your system of record. MuchSkills connects to it and adds the skills data it's missing, with no eighteen-month replacement project.

  1. Keep the HCM you already paid for

    MuchSkills connects to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob, BambooHR, Dayforce, CatalystOne, Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft AD, plus Jira, Tempo and Smartsheet. Nothing to rip out.

  2. Capability next to cost in the board pack

    Push skills data into Power BI or Salesforce through the open API, so the CHRO and CFO read capability alongside headcount and spend.

  3. Built for group rollouts

    SSO, SCIM and the open API on every plan. Enterprise adds custom integrations and a dedicated customer success manager to take the rollout across divisions.

  4. Built for the Works Council conversation

    Employees build and keep their own profiles. Personal data is hosted in the EU and MuchSkills is GDPR compliant.

  5. One less objection in the data review

    Customer personal data never trains third-party AI models, and AI sub-processors are contractually barred from it. Say so to legal and the Works Council.

Questions workforce planning leaders ask

Not answered here? A real person replies, usually the same working day.

Every question, in the FAQ
What is a skills intelligence platform?

A skills intelligence platform gives you a live, searchable view of the skills, certifications and capabilities in your organisation. MuchSkills sits on top of your HRIS and adds what it lacks: skills data that employees and managers keep current themselves. Enterprises use it for skills gap analysis, strategic workforce planning, certification tracking and resourcing, so they can answer 'do we have the skills?' in minutes.

How is MuchSkills different from the Workday or SuccessFactors skills module?

MuchSkills doesn't replace Workday or SAP SuccessFactors. It connects to them and adds a skills layer people actually use. Most HCM skills modules stall at adoption, so the data is incomplete and not trusted. MuchSkills is built so employees and managers keep their own profiles current, and you can push the data to Power BI or any other tool through the open API.

How do you run a skills gap analysis across a large enterprise?

Start with a baseline. In MuchSkills, people map their skills and certifications against a shared framework. You then compare what the group has with what the 3 to 5 year strategy needs, by division and geography. The gap shows where to build through L&D, buy through hiring or rent through partners. Nigeria's Federal Civil Service mapped nearly 55,000 people across 46 ministries.

What is a skills matrix, and does it work at enterprise scale?

A skills matrix shows which people hold which skills. In a spreadsheet it works for one team and breaks at a thousand people. MuchSkills builds the employee skills matrix from live profiles, so you can filter it by team, division, region or certification without rebuilding it every quarter. The database covers 12,000+ tech skills, 9,700+ certifications and 70,000+ capabilities.

What is competency mapping and talent mapping in HR?

Competency mapping links the skills each role needs to the people who have them. Talent mapping works the other way: it shows where your capable people are and who could step into critical roles. MuchSkills does both from the same live skills data. It also shows which roles depend on a single expert, so you can plan before that person retires.

Can MuchSkills help with AI workforce planning?

Yes. Before an AI or digital programme launches, MuchSkills gives you a baseline of the skills you have today. You can see the AI skills gap by division and decide what to build, buy or rent with data. Your people's data stays protected: MuchSkills never uses customer personal data to train, fine-tune or improve third-party AI models.

Will MuchSkills get through our Works Council review?

Every Works Council decides for itself, but MuchSkills is designed to make the conversation easier. Employees build and keep their own profiles. Personal data is hosted in the EU, MuchSkills is GDPR compliant, and customer personal data is never used to train third-party AI models. Book a meeting and we'll walk your team through how the data is handled.

Is MuchSkills professional certification management software?

Yes. MuchSkills tracks employee certifications alongside skills, drawing on a database of 9,700+ certifications, with an audit trail for every record. It is built for ISO 9001 Clause 7.2 and mapped to ISO 27001, AS9100 and CSRD/ESRS S1 evidence requirements. Group reporting draws on one source instead of 7 spreadsheets, so audit evidence is ready when the auditor asks.

Before the next board pre-read

Your next board pre-read will come round long before any HCM upgrade does. Book a meeting and we'll show you what a group capability picture looks like for an organisation your size. Want to start with a question? Contact us.

Can the group deliver the three-year AI plan?

Not yet, in two divisions. Nordics and UK are above the 70% readiness target. DACH and Iberia are not.
