AI advisory and delivery for HR and payroll
One point of contact, from scoping your AI project to running it.
Okawai Consulting scopes, builds and runs your HR and payroll AI projects. We build custom solutions, configure Claude or Copilot, or deploy our own proprietary solutions, depending on your HRIS and your existing systems.
What we do
Scoping is led by the team that builds next, and we keep running it afterwards.
Scope
- Assess the current state and map HR and payroll use cases
- Quantify the business case and the investment path
- Address GDPR and AI Act compliance from the start
- Write the specification and help you choose a vendor
- Prepare change management and information for the CSE (the French works council)
Build
- Build custom solutions
- Configure Claude, Copilot or Gemini on your data
- Deploy our proprietary solutions when they cover the need
- Integrate the HRIS, payroll software and time and attendance system
- Migrate data and run acceptance testing with your teams
Run
- Provide application maintenance and level 2/3 support
- Host in France, on sovereign infrastructure
- Apply regulatory updates
- Supervise AI agents and organise human hand-off
- Measure the gains, before and after
A single point of contact
An HR AI project usually goes through three providers: a firm that scopes it, an integrator that builds it, and a third party that maintains it. At every handover, the understanding has to start over, and the scoping's promise gets diluted.
We hold all three. The same point of contact is accountable for scoping, build and running it in production.

Two ways in
Transformation, scoping
You're launching an AI project on HR or payroll, or picking up one that has gone off track. We assess, we quantify, we write the decision your executive committee can sign.
See the Transformation pageAutomation, the build
You know what you want to automate, or you want a quick first result. We build, we integrate with your HRIS, we go live and we run it.
See the Automation pageTalk about your project
A scoping to launch, a process to automate, or both.
