The challenge involved performing a fit-gap analysis of the existing payroll and benefits processes, harmonizing compensation structures, and migrating data from multiple payroll vendors.

Additionally, the client needed to onboard the new employees, provide them access to payslip portals, and ensure full compliance across 10 countries with approximately 5,000 employees.
