July 2026 Product update

πŸš€ What's New in Epix

July was a landmark month for Epix, headlined by the launch of Epix Workflows β€” a brand-new way to automate approvals, tasks, and notifications from end to end. We also strengthened pay transparency with new outlier detection and pay equity insights, refreshed self-service and reporting experiences, and delivered a wave of integration reliability improvements. Here's everything that's new.

βš™οΈ Workflows & Automation

The biggest release of the month: Epix Workflows is here, giving you a powerful new way to automate everyday HR processes.

  • ‍Visual Workflow Builder β€” Design end-to-end automated processes with a new drag-and-drop canvas β€” no technical setup required.
  • ‍Smart, Date-Based Triggers β€” Trigger workflows automatically based on dates, with scope filters that target exactly the right records.
  • ‍Human Task Assignment β€” Build approval steps and manual handoffs directly into a workflow, with automatic email notifications sent straight to the right person.
  • ‍Redesigned Workflow Inbox β€” See due dates, apply filters, and stay on top of every pending task from one place.
  • ‍Full Audit Trail & Recovery β€” Every workflow run is tracked instance-by-instance, and stuck steps can now be retried or skipped without starting over.

πŸ’° Pay Transparency & Compensation

New tools give HR teams sharper visibility into how compensation is structured and distributed across the organisation.

  • ‍Pay Outlier Detection β€” Instantly identify pay outliers across your workforce, with a clear breakdown of fixed versus variable compensation.
  • ‍Pay Equity Insights β€” New salary distribution analytics surface gender pay gap trends, helping you track and act on compensation fairness.
  • ‍Smarter Pay Structuring β€” Compensation bands now align directly with pay levels, keeping your pay structure clean and consistent.
  • ‍Clearer Currency Display β€” Resolved display issues so multi-currency compensation data always renders correctly.

πŸ‘₯ Self-Service & People Management

Everyday HR and employee workflows got a little smoother this month.

  • ‍Clearer Pending Requests β€” Employees and managers can now see how long a request has been pending, reducing follow-up questions.
  • ‍Faster Profile Pictures β€” Profile photos now load noticeably faster across self-service.
  • ‍Cleaner Validation Layouts β€” Validation messages are easier to read and act on.
  • ‍More Reliable Org Structure β€” Fixed hierarchy issues that could distort team and organisation views.
  • ‍Absence Safeguard β€” Past absences can no longer be accidentally cancelled, protecting historical accuracy.

πŸ“Š Reporting, Calendars & Integrations

Rounding out the month: sharper reporting, more reliable calendars, and stronger integration coverage.

  • ‍Enhanced Reporting Filters β€” New band type filtering plus additional filters and legends make reports easier to slice and read.
  • ‍Smarter Calendars β€” Calendars now recalculate automatically and are available via API, keeping schedules always accurate.
  • ‍Daily HCM Sync β€” Choose daily synchronisation with your HCM system for fresher data, automatically.
  • ‍Integration Reliability β€” Improved payroll export references and reliability upgrades across Nmbrs, Prisma (including the latest contract sync), and Silae.

‍

July's release reinforces our focus on giving HR teams more automation, more transparency, and more reliable data to work with β€” so you can spend less time on manual admin and more time on the decisions that matter.
