Spring launches next-gen HR platform that makes it easy to pay, insure, and support teams

The operations portion of any business can be a headache. In addition to payroll and benefits management, HR teams are tasked with staying compliant, onboarding employees, keeping teams happy, and a whole host of other tasks. These complex processes can pile up, particularly for growing businesses that have limited operational resources.

Spring, an HR solutions platform, sought to simplify HR and payroll processes with one seamless and easy-to-use platform. The company wanted to equip teams of all sizes with a tool that modernized how HR professionals pay, insure, and support their workforces.

Background

  • After exploring similar HR products on the market, the joint team found that most available tools didn’t reach the goal of making HR easier and lacked an intuitive, consistent UI.
  • Spring identified a market opportunity to streamline HR and payroll processes for organizations with small operations teams, allowing employees to focus on the business, not mundane data processing tasks.
  • Spring turned to Forte Group to create a unique and engaging solution that simplified complex HR tasks, provided expert support, and felt personal.

Results achieved

  • Forte built the market-leading cloud-based HR and payroll services platform from the ground up.
  • Forte team’s agile organization and commitment to deliverables contributed to faster time-to-market. The approach included the industry-standard biweekly release cadence, predictable delivery, and outstanding software quality with an average test pass rate of 95 percent.
  • Forte’s alignment with Spring’s business needs and goals allowed the platform to successfully onboard its first corporate customers within eight weeks of the MVP launch.

“Our Forte team consistently delivered high-quality software. They were one of the first development teams I’ve worked with where I wasn’t constantly worried about delivery estimates, poor quality, or extreme tech dept. They consistently hit their goals and were a true extension of our team. Forte is always at the top of my list to recommend to others.”
