Founded in June 2018 and based in Pune, The Bored Game Company is a leading online ecommerce store specializing in board games and jigsaw puzzles. Initially focused on importing games from Europe and America, the company quickly recognized the vast potential of the Indian market and began manufacturing its own products domestically. Today, The Bored Game Company is known for offering a wide range of games and puzzles, from 150-piece jigsaws to 2,000-piece puzzles, catering to everyone from solo players to large parties.
As the company grew, it became clear that traditional accounting solutions like Tally were no longer feasible. The need for an intuitive, online platform led The Bored Game Company to explore several tools, including QuickBooks. Ultimately, Zoho Books stood out for its ease of use and powerful API integrations. Building on this positive experience, the company naturally transitioned to Zoho Payroll, seeking to further streamline its back-office operations.
Before adopting Zoho Payroll, payroll processing at The Bored Game Company was entirely manual. Each month, the founder personally handled bank transfers for every employee, entering bank details and amounts one by one. This process was not only time-consuming, often taking over an hour, but also prone to errors and administrative headaches. With no dedicated HR background, the founder found manual payroll increasingly unsustainable as the team grew.
Zoho Payroll transformed payroll management for The Bored Game Company.
Dramatic time savings: Payroll processing time dropped from over an hour to just five minutes each month.
Bank integration: The seamless integration allows for bulk salary disbursement with a single OTP, eliminating the need for multiple transactions.
Effortless setup: Even without an HR background, the founder was able to set up and use Zoho Payroll within a day, with zero issues or need for support.
Comprehensive payroll management: Bonuses, commissions, and reimbursements are now calculated automatically, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Seamless accounting: Automatic journal entries in Zoho Books mean payroll expenses are instantly matched with the bank ledger, reducing the accountant’s workload to just five minutes per month.
The Bored Game Company’s experience with Zoho Payroll has been exceptionally smooth.
User-friendly interface: The platform is intuitive and requires no specialized HR knowledge.
No support needed: The founder has never needed to contact support, a testament to the product’s reliability.
Employee satisfaction: Payroll is processed accurately and on time, with no complaints from staff.
Integrated ecosystem: The tight integration between Zoho Books and Zoho Payroll ensures a seamless workflow, from salary calculation to accounting.
The Bored Game Company is committed to continuing its journey with Zoho Payroll. The platform has already saved countless hours and eliminated payroll-related stress, allowing the founder and team to focus on growing their business and delighting customers. Confident in Zoho’s ability to scale with their needs, The Bored Game Company looks forward to leveraging more features and integrations as they expand their operations.
