Zalaris operates through two main segments: Managed Services, which offers Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) with locally based support in 13 countries; and Zalaris Consulting, which focuses on SAP HCM, Payroll, SuccessFactors implementation, and Application Management Outsourcing (AMO) services. Their technology offering includes the PeopleHub SaaS platform and integration with global HR solutions like SAP, Oracle, Fieldglass, and Concur.

Recent financial reports indicate revenue growth exceeding 15%, solid margin improvements, and ongoing investments in digital transformation, including advances in intelligent automation and AI integration within HR processes.
