Case Study: Catawiki achieves scalable growth and unified finance and HR insights with Workday Adaptive Planning

Catawiki invests in an agile system to stay ahead of growth

Catawiki, an online auction platform for special items and collectibles founded in 2008, faced growing pains as it scaled from a start-up to an SME: HR and finance ran on separate systems, headcount rose quickly, and fragmented data and manual processes made audits slow and decision-making difficult. The company needed an agile, scalable solution to centralize people- and finance-related information and support expansion into new markets.

Catawiki implemented Workday Financial Management and Human Capital Management (including expenses and compensation) as a single cloud application with mobile access. The platform standardized auditing and processes, eliminated silos, sped up month-end closes and decision-making, empowered employees, improved finance–organization collaboration, reduced operational costs, and provided continuous innovation to support ongoing growth.
