PayMe: Payroll Automation

The PayMe App is an app specially designed to smartly and easily manage payrolls. Whether a contractor or an agency, it meets all the contract management needs by automating and streamlining the payroll processes. With PayMe – the whole payroll function becomes hassle free – from maintaining weekly expenses attaching receipts, to copying claims, maintaining records, and more.

About PayMe

PayMe is a brand trusted for over 45 years in the UK for its extensive experience and expertise across the Recruitment Industry. Its 4 decades-long association with the Human Resource ecosystem enabled it to relate and understand the restraints and challenges of the payroll and contract management systems – both from the employers as well as contractors perspective. To overcome these problems, PayMe came up with the idea of creating a smart app for payroll management.

To turn this idea into reality, they required technologically experienced and sound solution providers who could help build a robust app with all-encompassing features and functionality for the ease of payroll and expense claim from the contractor’s perspective, and payroll and expense settlement from the agency’s or the employer’s perspective.

PayMe have been an extremely reliable and trusted brand. They wanted to give a tailor-made comprehensive technical and automation solution for payroll management in the form of an app along with maintaining their credibility and trust. Critical data, finance and tax management associated with the payroll system – maintaining and building everything under a secure solution was a challenge. Also, the logics and the app structure was different with different industry verticals – so everything had to be built independently. From permission based limited accesses, compliant taxation logics, real time syncs, calendar synced reminders, etc., there was a lot to be done on all the three mobile Operating Systems  – Android, iOS, and Windows.

Austin Digital went about understanding PayMe’s requirements. Our team of developers project coordinators not just closely associated with PayMe to prepare a roadmap but also performed deep research and analysis in order to build an App that was all-inclusive and solved more purposes than expected in payroll management processes. The App built included the following features and solutions:
