Payroll, rethought: your backend shows every open step — by company, per employee, per period. Social-security filings, withholding tax, wage statements — automated in one system.
Online payroll, automated and integrated with your accounting, HR and time-tracking tools. No duplicate data entry. No Excel back-and-forth.
Event-based payroll instead of a monthly run. Every change is processed and visible immediately — no run phase, no correction loop the following month.

26 cantons, all social-security branches, four languages — cantonal-accurate, hosted in Switzerland on Microsoft Azure.
Where the real difference is — and why it saves you time, money and headaches.
