Payroll Software We Have Built

We understand that you believe in work and practical case scenarios. Here is the list of case studies symbolizing our work:

Payroll System - African Multi-Country Platform

We have built a payroll system that offers solutions related to payroll support, with real-time batch processing. Here’s the detail:

Challenge:

The complex tax withholding is one of the common challenges faced by this client. Complying with the different tax percentages has led them to face payroll settlement issues.

The Stack:

We create a cloud infrastructure, AI-driven exception handling, and robust APIs. Here, we included three core layers. These layers are built with Python, Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL, OAuth 2.0, and AES-256 encryption.

Solution:

The project was built with payroll supporting, XAF, and XOF across 14 Francophone African countries with real-time batch processing for up to 5,000 employees. The outcome was that payroll runtime was reduced from 2 days to under 30 minutes, and 100% audit trail compliance for BEAC/BCEAO.

Web3 Crypto Payroll - "Web3 Startup"

Web3 crypto payroll platforms automate, manage, and distribute compensation such as salaries and bounties using blockchain technology.

Challenge:

The company faced extreme volatility in the pricing structure that resulted in resumed payroll activities. The system was struggling to pay the global contractors due to a poor crypto conversion system.

The Stack:

Nimble AppGenie used the technology stack, such as USDC, ETH, and even Stablecoin payment APIs, for this startup. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud were adopted and implemented as a cloud infrastructure.

Solution:

The solution or outcome of this stack was that the company was able to pay its global contractors, with an automatic fiat-to-crypto conversion at payroll run. Overall, payment time was reduced, and crypto tax reporting was fully automated.
