The Problem
How manual and error-prone payroll impacted Design Pickle’s bottom line
Design Pickle is a subscription-based creative services company based in Scottsdale, Arizona offering graphic design, custom illustrations, presentation design, motion graphics and video editing. With a diverse creative workforce spread across the globe, Design Pickle faced challenges in managing their payroll and compliance.
Previously their payroll was handled manually, which was both time-consuming and prone to errors. The lack of an HRIS system also meant there were inefficiencies in managing contractor agreements.
“Before we started using Deel, our payroll process was time-consuming and open to errors due to manual handling. Deel has streamlined our operations, saving us valuable time and reducing the risk of mistakes."
—Hollie Casey,
Director of Global People Operations at Design Pickle
The Solution
Quick and effective payroll management with Deel
Deel provided Design Pickle with a robust platform that automated their payroll processes. What once took multiple people a week to manage could now be handled by a single person in just a few hours each pay period, ensuring that contractors were paid correctly and on time.
“Using Deel, we now have one person spending a few hours each pay period on payroll, compared to two or three people spending over a week before. Deel has made the process consistent and error-free,” said Hollie Casey, Director of Global People Operations at Design Pickle
The Results
Enhanced compliance and contractor management with Deel
Deel’s compliance features provided Design Pickle with peace of mind thanks to pre-drafted independent contractor agreements that adhered to local regulations, eliminating the need to consult legal advisors for each new market. As Design Pickle plans to expand into new countries, this feature is crucial to ensure they remain compliant without significant additional costs.
