Landing Platform vs Sage HR: bring your history, gain more
Sage HR starts with core HR and leave, then adds shift scheduling, timesheets, performance and expenses as per-employee modules. Landing imports your Sage HR data, leavers included, and runs all of that in one plan, joined to projects and profit.
Landing suits you if
- You pay per employee for several Sage HR modules
- You want your leave history to come with you
- You want hours to reach projects, clients and margin
Where the modules stack up.
Sage HR does leave well. Each job beyond it is another line on the invoice.
A module per job
Shift scheduling, timesheets, performance and expenses are each an add-on per employee.
Every employee, every module
Add a starter and every module you hold goes up with them.
Time without the work
Timesheets record hours, not the client profit those hours earned.
Landing Platform vs Sage HR, line by line.
Landing imports what you keep in Sage HR, then does more with it.

| Moving from Sage HR | Import of people, positions, teams, leave policies, requests and balances, leavers included, with a preview before anything is applied | Already there |
| Records and org chart | One record per person: role, manager, contract, documents and emergency contacts, with an org chart that draws itself | Core HR |

| Expenses and mileage | Expenses and mileage on the person's record | Expenses add-on |

Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We connect to Sage HR
We link your Sage HR account and agree what "ready" means: every balance matching, everyone booking leave in Landing.
We import your history
Our Sage HR importer brings people, positions, teams, leave policies, requests and balances across, leavers included. You preview every change before it is applied.
You sign it off
Your HR lead checks balances end to end. Billing starts only once it meets the criteria you set, then you switch Sage HR off.
But our leave history is in Sage HR.
Fair. Here are the questions Sage HR users ask us most.
Do leavers and past requests come across?
Yes. People, positions, teams, leave policies, requests and balances import from Sage HR, leavers included, with a preview before anything is applied.
What happens to payroll?
Approvals and balances run in Landing from day one, and hours and premiums export as a file your payroll provider can take.
Is the shift rota extra?
No. The rota comes in every plan: open shifts, swaps, kiosk PIN clock-in, UK Working Time checks including the 17-week average, and labour cost against budget.
