HRBrain Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Koki Hori, hereinafter "Our Company") has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Payroll Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo / President & CEO: Tetsuya Yuasa, hereinafter "Payroll"), a provider of the payroll service "HR BPaaS." Through this partnership, both companies will strengthen service integration in the HR, labor, and payroll domains, comprehensively supporting companies' back-office DX and human capital management initiatives.
Our Company offers a wide range of services in the HR domain, centered on talent management, including organizational diagnostic surveys, labor management, recruitment management, and attendance management. Payroll, on the other hand, provides payroll BPO and payroll systems, primarily to enterprise clients, boasting extensive implementation experience and advanced operational know-how.
In recent years, with the increasing focus on human capital management, the importance of utilizing HR, labor, and payroll data without fragmentation to drive management and organizational strategies has grown. However, companies often face challenges in data integration and operational efficiency due to managing HR, labor, and payroll information in individually optimized systems.
This partnership will enable Our Company to strengthen its integration with the "payroll" domain, a critical data area for corporate operations, in addition to the HR domains it has been serving, such as talent management, labor management, and attendance management.
Furthermore, we will achieve unified data utilization across personnel, labor, and payroll information, providing more advanced support for corporate human capital management and strategic HR.
By combining Payroll's extensive experience and know-how in payroll BPO and payroll systems with Our Company's HR data utilization platform, we aim to realize an integrated customer experience that supports overall HR operations seamlessly.
In the medium to long term, both companies will also promote value provision by leveraging their respective customer bases and expertise through initiatives such as OEM solution offerings and enhanced sales cooperation.
This will allow Our Company to expand its value proposition in the payroll domain, while Payroll will strengthen its proposal capabilities in the talent management domain, further enhancing the value delivered to client companies.
Moving forward, both companies will continue to solidify their service integration and collaborative structure to improve the productivity of overall corporate HR operations and realize strategic HR.
