Paylocity provides cloud-based human capital management (HCM), finance, and IT software for small and mid-sized businesses in the U.S. The core platform manages payroll and human resources functions, including tax filing, benefits administration, time tracking, and the employee lifecycle from recruiting to offboarding. Paylocity recently expanded into finance and IT services, offering tools for expense management, accounts payable automation, and hardware asset tracking. The company uses a recurring subscription business model where revenue is determined by the number of clients, their total employee headcount, and the specific software modules selected. Paylocity also earns interest income from payroll funds held in transit for its customers. To drive growth, Paylocity employs a direct sales force and maintains a referral network of benefits brokers, insurance consultants, and accountants. The strategy focuses on acquiring new clients and increasing revenue per customer by expanding its product suite and encouraging the adoption of additional modules. Paylocity integrates artificial intelligence to automate internal processes and client support. The company also utilizes M&A to add new capabilities to its unified platform, targeting businesses that can be integrated directly into its existing software suite.
