The origin of the Payroll accounting system was the application built around a team of three founding partners. During the process of evolving, Bexio asked Scalac for help in the further development of a convenient (easy-to-use and efficient) payroll solution for small and medium-sized companies. We were happy to pick up the gauntlet, and eventually, our developers joined the Bexio team in June 2018, and so began our mutual endeavor to build a Payroll solution from scratch. After accepting the challenge, we brought an early stage product to a core part of Bexio systems and eventually were able to replace the team of founders.

The key results we have achieved so far, during our contribution to the Payroll project are:

1. Benefits for Bexio:
   • Monthly, hourly wages or commissions.
     • The wages are automatically posted at the click of a mouse due to the integration of payroll accounting into financial accounting.
