Challenge

Problem We Are Solving

Mid-Market Companies invest $500k+ in HR systems, yet the solutions available are broken, fragmented and lead to most work getting done on spreadsheets. Employees are frustrated with current HR systems like ADP, Workday and UKG since simple tasks like checking past compensation increases is difficult, manual and needs a support ticket. Employers are frustrated since they invest over $500K and the systems are ineffective. HR teams are frustrated because they have high volume of work and cannot make time to drive the business forward.
