Payroll is central to every business
Payroll is the biggest line item for most businesses with over $8.8 trillion processed annually in the United States. Zeal helps SaaS platforms and direct employers build enterprise-level payroll products and scale their business.
Become a payroll provider
Expand your product offering and reach new markets by incorporating a payroll solution. The sticky product will increase the lifetime value of existing customers and attract new customers onto your platform as an all-in-one business solution. Additionally, payroll is the ideal wedge into offering a full suite of financial services.
Simplify your internal payroll
If you have intricate payroll needs, building a payroll product allows you to transition from legacy, piecemeal software to a modern API solution. You'll have a robust and scalable payroll process with direct control over overrides, processing and accommodations.
