PeopleDoc is a cloud-based human resources service delivery and document management platform. In 2018, the France-based company was acquired by Ultimate Software, an American human resources technology company for approximately $300 million.[1] PeopleDoc continues under that name as a division of UKG, the successor company of Ultimate Software.[2]
It was named by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in Human Capital Management in 2014.[3] Customers include American Express, Fast Retailing, Georgetown University, Match.com, Starbucks and Motorola.[4] The company has also established partnerships with SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Grant Thorton LLP, PwC and Accenture.
History[]
PeopleDoc started as Novapost in 2007, on the campus of the HEC Business School in Paris as an idea to provide a unified digital file management system.
In 2009, the HR community took notice of the consumer document vault and asked the co-founders to design a product specifically for HR. PeopleDoc then developed cloud technology to assist HR administrative staff.
In 2014, PeopleDoc expanded its human resources software service and raised a $17.5 million Series B round led by Accel Partners.[5]
In August 2015, PeopleDoc sponsored a national HR survey, focused on the intersection of technology, HR, and how HR professionals are handling documents.[6]
In September 2015, PeopleDoc raised a $28 Million Series C round of investment led by Paris-based Eurazeo while PeopleDoc’s existing investors — Accel Partners, Alven Capital and Kernel Capital Partners — participated as well.[7]
In 2018, the France-based technology company was acquired by Ultimate Software for $300 million in cash and stock.[8]
Software[]

Last but not least, their Employee Onboarding portal allows for electronic documents and electronic signatures via a company branded portal.[9]
