    The problem

    Global payroll processing relies on manual calculations, spreadsheets, and fragmented local vendors, leading to delays, high error rates (reportedly 15%), and compliance risks. Organizations face fines (53% of organizations fined for compliance issues) and processing times of up to two weeks due to these inefficiencies.

    The product approach

    Intermezzo provides a single API for global payroll that automates gross-to-net calculations, tax filing, payslip generation, and accounting syncs. The platform claims to eliminate manual errors, reduce overhead, and handle regulatory updates automatically, allowing payroll to be run on demand rather than on fixed vendor schedules.
