THE COMPANY

Meet TecEx

TecEx provides importer of record and compliance services for companies dealing with IT equipment, enabling affordable cross-border DDP and DDU bespoke solutions for businesses while mitigating their legal and financial risks.
THE PROBLEM

Facing Financial and Legal Barriers to Global Expansion

TecEx faced a significant challenge when hiring international talent. They wanted access to a global talent pool — but hiring remotely in territories where TecEx was not previously established was not an option given legislative roadblocks, high costs and time-consuming efforts required to incorporate new entities.

Recruiting in other countries is expensive and time-consuming. Companies have to establish a registered local presence in the country they’re hiring. Beyond that, they have to sort out international taxes, benefits, and payroll. To overcome these hurdles, many companies turn toward Employer of Record solutions like Playroll.

The Playroll platform is intuitive and well designed, allowing our HR and Finance teams the ability to seamlessly hire new employees in international jurisdictions where we are not established. Playroll’s customer success team is highly responsive and knowledgeable. This level of service and support has been critical to realizing our global expansion goals.

THE SOLUTION

Simplifying Global Hiring With Playroll

TecEx were focused on expanding their global footprint. To succeed at that, they needed a solution that would:
Save them the trouble of creating hiring entities in every country they had employees.
Translate their employee benefits into equitable benefits in other countries.
Make it easy to comprehend the unique employment rules and regulations in other nations.
Furnish a simple one-stop platform to manage every element of global employment, from contracts to benefits.
THE RESULTS

Managing A Larger Global Workforce With Ease

Playroll supplied the requisite hiring entities in their employee’s countries, removing a significant hiring obstacle. This alone saved TecEx months of work and tens of thousands of dollars. They would no longer have to establish branches or subsidiaries in every country and then develop the necessary expertise to manage the unique labor laws and compliance obligations for each.

Playroll was there to offer TecEx guidance every step of the way. They answered country-specific questions, equipping TecEx with all the necessary information and insights. When it came time to onboard new team members, Playroll’s fully compliant contracts made it easy for both TecEx and their new colleagues to feel confident and informed. From getting a quote of cost of employment to sending an offer, TecEx managed the entire onboarding process within Playroll’s dashboard. They were able to see everyone’s hiring status at a glance.

For TecEx’s international employees, Playroll’s platform made it easy to manage their personal details. They could monitor and access benefits, sick days, vacation time, and payslips from a single, intuitive location.

With Playroll’s help, TecEx has onboarded teammates in India and Israel – and ultimately doubled their international workforce. To top it off, they were able to scale their company without diminishing the employee experience for their remote teammates. Regardless of location, they received the same first-class treatment that TecEx’s local employees enjoyed.

Thousands of companies across hundreds of countries trust Playroll with their people. You can too.
