People data lives in five systems
Names in Active Directory, titles in the HRIS, contact info on a wiki, photos nowhere. No system has the whole picture, so none of them is trusted.
Employee Directory Software
An employee directory that stays current without an IT ticket
Scattered people data and out-of-date org charts cost everyone time. Axero keeps a searchable directory, a live org chart, and rich profiles accurate — synced from the systems IT already runs, and maintained by the teams who own the data.

Why people data goes stale
A directory is only useful if it's right. Here's what usually keeps it from being right.
Org charts go stale the day after a reorg
The chart is a slide deck someone updates once a quarter, if that. By the time anyone looks, the reporting lines are already wrong.
You can find a name, not the right person
Search matches an exact spelling, not the skill, team, certification, or location you're actually looking for. So people ask around instead.
Every change is an IT ticket
A new hire, a department move, a title change — each one waits in a queue. Routine updates that HR should own end up on IT's plate.
Everything your people need to find each other
A directory that's searchable, filterable, and current
Search and filter by name, team, role, location, or skill, and get to a person in a couple of keystrokes. Profiles populate from Active Directory, your HRIS, or your SSO provider and stay in sync, with self-service filling the gaps — so the directory reflects who works here now, not who worked here last quarter.
An org chart that builds itself from your reporting data
A visual, navigable org chart generated from reporting relationships and updated as they change. New hires use it to learn who's who; everyone uses it to navigate across functions. It lives inside the intranet next to the profiles and content people already use — not in a separate chart tool someone has to remember to maintain.
Profiles you can shape to match how your company works
A profile carries work and contact details, reporting line, skills and expertise, current projects, and recent activity. Configure which fields appear and who can edit each one. Expertise, interests, and project context turn the directory into a way to find the person who owns something — not just their phone extension.
People search that gets someone to the right colleague fast
Search is indexed across every profile and field, so a query for a skill, certification, language, or location returns people, not dead ends. For IT, it's the same search infrastructure that powers the rest of the intranet. For everyone else, it's the fastest way to find who to ask.

Who keeps it running
IT owns the plumbing. HR owns the content.
Neither team waits on the other to keep the directory right.
Clean data and admin control
Connect the directory to the identity systems you already manage, and keep ownership of access and structure.
- Sync from Active Directory, Azure AD / Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, and your HRIS
- SSO via Okta, ADFS, OneLogin, SAML 2.0, Office 365, and social logins
- Role-based permissions over who can see and edit each field
- One source of truth — updates flow in from your provider instead of being re-keyed
Ownership without filing a ticket
Keep profiles, fields, and the org structure accurate from a non-technical admin — no developer required.
- Self-service profile updates employees make themselves
- Edit org structure and reporting lines without IT involvement
- Configure profile fields to match your culture and the data you track
- Required fields and moderation keep records complete and consistent
Just need a directory? Start there.
Some organizations adopt Axero first as a company people directory and grow into the rest of the intranet over time. It's deep enough to stand on its own — and it's already wired into the communication, knowledge, and collaboration tools your teams will reach for next. See where it fits in the broader HR intranet.
