It was business as usual at NNK & Co., a CA firm located in the heart of Bangalore.
Pradeep and Mathin - payroll specialists at the firm - struggled with the time-consuming task of processing payroll on Excel, as they did each month.
Issues with using Excel for payroll processing
They had the following concerns with processing payroll on Excel:
- Manual generation of payslips meant increased workload
- Increased chances of copy-paste errors creeping in
- Locating the latest data from various files became a matter of concern
- Need to regularly update all Excel formulae based on the latest statutory updates
- Tangible risk of loss of data due to viruses or system crashes
- Data accessibility and data sharing
Around the same time, most of NNK & Co.’s clients also started demanding for the use of a payroll software. In search of a cost-effective solution to simplify his payroll work, Navaneeth soon realized that a cloud-based payroll processing software could solve all the problems he faced.
greytHR: A positive review
During the process of evaluating various software available in the market, Navaneeth heard about greytHR from one of his friends - a finance professional at Texas Instruments. They had been using greytHR for a while now and were happy with it. Navaneeth soon decided to switch to greytHR.
Quick implementation
The payroll module from greytHR’s extensive portfolio was exactly what they were looking for.
greytHR’s implementation team quickly assessed Navaneeth’s needs, their clients’ needs and other specifications. In no time, the Payroll module was rolled out for NNK & Co. The Implementation team also hand-held Pradeep and his colleagues for almost a month post roll-out to sort out queries and concerns.
