Company Evolution
In today’s payroll ecosystem, employees face restricted access controlled by employers, no real-time visibility into salary calculations, and zero Existing tools are built for HR departments, not individuals, making them overly complex and disconnected from employee needs. This product bridges the gap by offering transparent, real-time wage tracking with built-in legal safeguards in a user-first
B2C experience.
User Challenges and System Gaps
Traditional payroll systems prioritize HR needs over employee experience, resulting in limited access, no real-time salary tracking, and a lack of legal transparency. Employees depend on employer-enabled modules, face complex interfaces, and have little visibility into
errors or their rights.
