SaaS Workforce Optimization
A fast-growing SaaS platform headquartered in the United States, with offices in Europe and Southeast Asia, had scaled its workforce to over 600 employees across 8 countries.
The company’s growth had outpaced its internal HR infrastructure — payroll processing, compliance monitoring, and employee engagement were all managed through disjointed systems.
As the business prepared for its next round of funding, leadership needed a unified global workforce strategy that could deliver accuracy, transparency, and compliance at scale.
Business Challenge
The SaaS firm’s biggest challenges were rooted in its fragmented systems and regionally siloed operations:
The leadership team wanted a partner capable of integrating technology, compliance, and process excellence — without disrupting ongoing operations.
Manual Payroll Systems
Payroll was processed separately in each country, often resulting in discrepancies, delayed disbursements, and compliance risks.
Limited Real-Time Visibility
HR and finance lacked centralized access to workforce costs, benefits data, and headcount analytics.
Compliance Complexity
Different employment laws, taxation policies, and reporting standards across markets led to recurring audit findings.
Scalability Barriers
The existing tools couldn’t support rapid hiring or contract management for distributed teams.
Unidor’s Approach
Unidor implemented a complete Workforce Optimization Framework tailored to SaaS organizations operating across multiple geographies. The project was structured into three strategic phases:
Global Payroll Integration
Unified payroll systems across all 8 countries under one digital interface. Introduced automated pay runs, local tax adjustments, and currency conversion features.
Compliance & Risk Standardization
Conducted a region-wise audit of employment contracts, benefits, and taxation. Built a single compliance repository for HR and finance teams to access verified documentation anytime.
Workforce Intelligence Dashboard
Integrated real-time analytics, enabling the leadership team to track costs, benefits utilization, and country-level compliance performance. Provided predictive workforce data to optimize hiring plans and compensation structures.
