PayrollHero Swimming With Whale Sharks, Oslob, Philippines
Some of the PayrollHero team went swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, Philippines this past weekend. Oslob is about a three and a half hour drive from Cebu which is the second largest city in the Philippines. At the whale shark area of Oslob, you pay about $50 (including transportation) to get into the water and swim with 8 to 20 whale sharks. The number changes each day. You can see a quick video below that shows how massive these sharks are:
At PayrollHero we work to hire what we call #AdventureEngineers. Basically team members who want to work hard and play hard. Check out our Adventure Engineer interview video below:
New Feature: Multi Insert Tool
We added two new features to the PayrollHero platform to make managing the platform even easier for larger companies.
Multi Insert Tool: Employees and Schedules
The multi insert tool is the recommended way to create multiple employees or create multiple schedules on the PayrollHero platform. It is the most time efficient way, and we recommend using this when you need to create a large amount of employee profiles. The system automatically generates a bespoke template for you to complete. It is designed specifically for your company and its settings. This article will explain how to use the feature.

PipelineDeals Is Coming To Southeast Asia
We moved our sales CRM needs over to PipelineDeals a few months ago after we were introduced to the founder JP Werlin. We began using their platform to see how it compared to Highrise (which we were currently using) or Salesforce (which we were considering). We ended up moving to PipelineDeals as it is a smooth setup process, had all of the features we were looking for and was a cost effective option.
PayrollHero is a business to business software as a service platform focused on restaurants, retails and the BPO industry (outsourcing / office environments). We end up dealing with the CEO, COO, Head of HR, Head of Payroll, store managers and district managers as part of the sales process. PipelineDeals lets us manage these relationships, the potential deal amount, all of the correspondence plus much more.
