Zeal

““One of the biggest differences is peace of mind,” said Dadmehr. “You’re responsible for thousands of people getting paid. Knowing you can reach your partner and get answers immediately changes everything.””

““We don’t want our clients or employees logging into five different systems,” said Peyman Dadmehr, CEO of ACE FMS. “Our portal is the hub. Zeal lets us keep everything in sync behind the scenes.””

“Because our operating managers are temporary, the same way our staff is, everything needs to be automated or dead simple.”

“These people who show up and work short term events need the money, and I hated that we treated them poorly because we were stuck dealing with someone else’s constraints. Backlit exists to make it better for the workers and the operators. If I can keep the workers happy, the show is better.”

“We thought about building payroll ourselves but it’s not in our wheelhouse and just way too big.”

“Zeal has given us the ability to operate as the employer of record and that has unlocked a new product line and a bunch of business for us, which has been really great.”

“We would send over a spreadsheet to our employer of record. They would manually input time, and it would be full of errors.”

“Every non-union person working the Superbowl Halftime Show is employed by Backlit and has their pay run through Zeal.”

““Because payroll is automated with Zeal, we can submit things until the very last minute. This reduces error because there’s more time to fix things if something isn’t clear or a timesheet needs approval,””

““One of the things that really stood out for me about Zeal was the ease of use. Obviously, this is an API-driven platform, and the APIs were very easy to build on… the time it took to build and go live with the integration wasn’t nearly as clunky and drawn out as it probably could have been with some other payroll APIs out there.””

““With Zeal, we were able to integrate pretty much every piece of the puzzle with the API,” explained Josh Gitman, CEO of Lead & Gain. “It’s really just cut down our payroll processing from basically an entire full day for our payroll team down to minutes. The processing itself is minutes, and we can click a button, create hundreds of paychecks, and approve them right in our system. It’s been a huge time saver.””
