SP_Data is HR software from SP_Data GmbH in Herford, Germany, used mainly by mid-sized and larger companies. Its payroll module handles gross-to-net calculation, German statutory reporting, certificates, wage-attachment processing and a digital personnel file, with a large set of standard reports and an analysis cockpit. Further parts cover time recording with absence management and access control, and the employee portal my_spdata, where staff record working time and request leave from a PC or smartphone. Open interfaces connect it to ERP, recruiting and other tools. The vendor also offers payroll outsourcing, training and implementation support.
SP_Data GmbH is headquartered in Herford and describes itself as owner-managed since 1988 and independent; no parent company is named. The vendor's website does not say whether the software is installed on customers' own servers or operated as a hosted service, nor where any hosting takes place, so ask the vendor where payroll and personnel data are stored and processed. Payroll data is sensitive personal data, so this question matters. A German vendor keeps contract, support and jurisdiction within the EU.
