Personio Chooses Ledgy as its Equity Management Platform

Personio, Europe’s leading HR software company for small and mid-sized businesses, has selected Ledgy as its future equity management platform, following a thorough assessment of available tools in Europe. The migration to Ledgy equips the company with a cutting-edge tool for equity management tailored to high-growth European businesses.

Modern innovation for a modern company

Personio launched its search to find a new tool capable of meeting the needs of their globally dispersed, modern workforce.

"Employees weren't previously fully engaging with their equity plans due to limited customisation opportunities and with Ledgy, we found an employee-friendly and multi-departmental tool that accurately manages all aspects of our equity,” said Ann-Sophie Manzeschke, Reward Manager at Personio.

One of the most significant challenges was reflecting vesting pauses and schedule changes for employees taking leave or modifying their working hours—an essential requirement for Personio. The functionality for these scenarios required additional manual effort, with certain tasks still being managed through spreadsheets, which introduced complexities in handling equity data efficiently.

Ledgy steps in with “European-first” precision and collaboration

‍
Ledgy’s collaboration-driven approach and technological agility set the stage for a seamless transition. Within days, the Ledgy team implemented enhanced vesting functionality to address complex requirements that many scaling companies face, including Personio's specific needs - solving challenges that had persisted for years.

When new German legislation introduced changes to ESOP structures, Ledgy’s product team worked closely with Personio to help model the implications and design a compliant, optimised plan. "Ledgy’s ability to automate even the most nuanced scenarios is game-changing," added Ann-Sophie.
“Personio’s migration to Ledgy highlights the need for equity management software designed to meet the unique challenges of European private and public companies,” said Yoko Spirig, CEO and Co-founder of Ledgy. “By combining deep local expertise with cutting-edge technology, we’re enabling companies like Personio to unlock the full potential of their equity plans—delighting employees while ensuring compliance and operational efficiency.”
