Aparajitha Corporate Services, established in February 2001 in Madurai with just six employees, has grown into a leading provider of payroll and compliance services across India. Today, the company boasts a workforce of over 2,000 employees, operates 24 branches nationwide, and serves more than 2,000 clients. Aparajitha specializes in labor law and industrial compliance, managing not just office-based employees but also a large number of staff deployed at client locations, making their operational landscape both vast and complex.
As Aparajitha expanded, the need for a scalable, integrated HR and payroll solution became apparent. The company adopted Zoho’s suite, including Zoho Payroll, Zoho People, and Zoho Recruit, two years ago. The decision was driven by Zoho’s reputation for reliability, ease of use, and its ability to handle the unique requirements of a distributed workforce. This move marked a significant step forward in Aparajitha’s digital transformation journey.
Prior to Zoho Payroll, Aparajitha faced significant challenges in payroll processing.
Attendance consolidation: Gathering and consolidating attendance data from multiple branches and client sites was time-consuming and prone to errors.
Manual documentation: Employees had to submit physical forms or scan and email documents for payroll proofs, leading to delays, lost reminders, and administrative headaches.
Processing delays: The manual, fragmented process resulted in frequent payroll errors and disputes, and month-end processing was often delayed.
These challenges not only affected operational efficiency but also impacted employee satisfaction and compliance standards.
The implementation of Zoho Payroll transformed Aparajitha’s payroll operations.
Error-free payroll: Payroll processing is now seamless and virtually error-free, eliminating disputes and ensuring timely salary disbursement.
Effortless proof submission: Employees can submit all required proofs directly through the Zoho Payroll application, making the process quick, easy, and paperless.
Automated reminders: The system sends timely reminders for document submission, ensuring compliance and reducing the administrative burden on HR.
Centralized data: Attendance and payroll data are consolidated automatically, allowing for faster, more accurate payroll runs even with a geographically dispersed workforce.
Zoho Payroll’s intuitive mobile app and web interface have significantly improved both HR and employee experiences.
Simplicity: The app is user-friendly, with all necessary features easily accessible on a single screen, reducing the need for extensive navigation.
Efficiency: Employees no longer worry about lost reminders or missed submissions; everything is managed within the app.
Transparency: Real-time updates and notifications keep employees informed and engaged throughout the payroll cycle.
Support: The platform’s reliability and Zoho’s responsive support have ensured a smooth transition and ongoing satisfaction.
Aparajitha Corporate Services continues to explore additional Zoho products to further digitize and streamline their operations. The company is confident that Zoho’s integrated ecosystem will support their ongoing growth, enhance compliance, and drive even greater efficiencies. Aparajitha also recommends Zoho solutions to its clients, recognizing the value and impact Zoho has brought to their own business.
