Five ways into one personnel record. Each names a place where somebody is currently entered twice, or where a decision is made without data that exists elsewhere in the building.
The features underneath are identical. What differs is which duplication each kind of company notices first.
Starting points, not editions. The software underneath every one of them is identical.
An agency, a construction firm and a school have almost nothing in common operationally, and they all maintain the same person in three or four systems.
The fix is not a better HR system. It is that the personnel record is the one delivery reads for availability, finance posts cost against, and IT raises access from — so a joiner exists once and a leaver is closed once.
That is why these pages are about consequences rather than modules. Everybody has a leave form; not everybody has leave that reaches the plan that promised a date.
However you come in, the mechanism is the same: one record, read by whoever needs it next. What disappears is the work of keeping copies in agreement.

The industry pages differ in which compliance obligations they name. The mechanism is the same in all five.
No. They are five ways into Nest, described for different audiences. The features underneath are identical; what differs is which handover each kind of company feels first.
Then read the one whose failure you recognise rather than the one whose industry matches. The mechanism is the same, and the vocabulary is the easier half to translate.
No. Start with Nest and the one product on the other side of your worst handover. Each additional product is a switch rather than a second implementation.
Permissions are shaped by role, team and field — not by which licence somebody happens to hold. Nobody needs a second login to see the same customer.
Half an hour on your own numbers is usually enough to say whether Nest is the right place to start.
