EX3 Launches AI Labs to Accelerate Innovation in Payroll, HR, and Enterprise Automation
LONDON, Feb. 5, 2026 - EX3, a strategic SAP partner and global provider of payroll and HR solutions, has launched EX3 AI Labs-an innovation hub focused on research, product development, and real-world AI application for clients worldwide.
This move follows EX3's global expansion, including a new India hub for APAC and a refreshed C-suite built for international scale. The goal is straightforward: deliver enterprise-grade AI, globally, without slowing down delivery or adding overhead.
Why it matters for product teams
EX3 AI Labs is a dedicated center for AI research, solution design, and product incubation. The focus is practical: speed up delivery cycles, improve implementation quality, and ship features that drive measurable outcomes across payroll and HR operations.
"AI is transforming how businesses operate, and our clients are looking for practical, secure, high-impact solutions," said Luuk Sengers, CSO. "AI Labs enables us to innovate faster and deliver intelligent tools that drive real value."
Purpose and vision
EX3's vision is to rethink traditional workflows by embedding intelligent agents where they create the most leverage-configuration, analysis, and decision support. The Labs act as a bridge from advanced ideas to scalable technology, helping organisations modernise payroll and HR at pace.
Early initiatives shaping the roadmap
- AI-enhanced product development workflows that compress delivery timelines and improve handoffs.
- A reworked implementation approach that applies AI to configuration, analysis, and decision-making.
- A growing portfolio of use cases across the employee lifecycle focused on automation, insight generation, and intelligent orchestration.
These initiatives form the base of a long-term plan to ship scalable, practical AI capabilities to EX3 customers.
Implications for product delivery
- Shorter cycles: AI-assisted specs, testing, and documentation can reduce rework and keep releases moving.
- Better implementations: AI can support config suggestions, root-cause analysis, and decision support, improving quality without adding process bloat.
- Operational insight: Automated signal detection across the employee lifecycle can surface issues early and trigger actions automatically.
- Enterprise standards: Expect a focus on privacy, security, and auditability to meet HR and payroll requirements from day one.
Building a world-class team
Led by Luuk Sengers, EX3 AI Labs brings together AI engineers, UX specialists, and domain experts from across global operations. The team blends deep functional knowledge with modern AI practices to ship enterprise-ready solutions. Hiring continues across engineering, design, and product as demand increases.
Clear market intent
"AI Labs is a strong statement of where EX3 is heading," said Jas Rai, CEO. "We are investing heavily in innovation to help our clients become more efficient, more resilient, and more future-ready."
What to watch in 2026
EX3 will share updates on AI capabilities, partnerships, and product releases throughout the year. Expect a steady roll-out of use cases that move from pilot to production quickly.
