Why payroll?

If you’re in the discovery phase, you may be thinking “why should I invest in a custom payroll solution"? To really answer this question, it's important to know whether you are wanting to sell your payroll solution to others as an Offerer or build an internal payroll solution as an Owner.

For Offerers:

Expanding into the payroll space can grow revenue streams and, maybe more importantly, attract and retain customers. A custom payroll solution has helped our Offerer partners:

• Grow revenue.
• Attract and retain customers. The average consumer tends to stay with their payroll provider for 8+ years.
• Expand into other fintech offerings using payroll as the foundation. There are multiple payroll-dependent/payroll-adjacent financial products that can be offered such as cards, wallets, payroll fronting, etc.

For Owners:

Building an internal payroll tool can relieve many of the pain points of traditional payroll providers. A custom payroll solution has helped our Owner partners:

• Automate much of the process of payroll and reduce the workload for their payroll team.
• Offer flexible pay schedules and a better overall experience for their workers.
• Improve compliance across tax jurisdictions.
