How Petvisor consolidated five payroll systems into one with Deel

Petvisor is a technology company in the pet care industry, specializing in solutions that support veterinary practices and other pet care providers.

After acquiring several companies, the Petvisor team struggled with fragmented global payroll and hiring systems that lacked centralized processes and visibility, posing significant compliance and operational risks.

“Our HR and payroll systems were disjointed and unmanageable," said Sophie Karagianes, Chief People Officer at Petvisor. "We needed Deel's centralized solution to scale.”

Payroll was one of the first operations to improve. “We initially evaluated other providers, but the costs exceeded payroll itself,” said Karagianes. ”We chose Deel because its suite of solutions uniquely fits our broad needs”.

Deel Global Payroll consolidated 5+ HR and payroll functions into one platform, allowing a single person to manage all global payrolls.

“Running my first global payroll with Deel was easier and faster than running US payroll with another provider.” — Abbie Yeo, Senior People Operations Business Partner, Petvisor

Implementing Deel Global Payroll and treasury services increased efficiency, reduced errors, and ensured compliance across all regions, including Sri Lanka and the UK.

The design of the Deel Global Payroll platform has significantly impacted the team’s payroll experience. “Deel’s user interface makes other payroll platforms look like Windows ‘95,” said Yeo. “It’s much more modern, intuitive, and easy to navigate”.

Improving workforce flexibility with Deel EOR

Deel EOR enables Petvisor to hire globally and support international relocations without opening new entities.

“Before Deel EOR, we needed to open entities in multiple countries to hire and offer flexibility to our employees. Now, the process is simple, cost-effective, and compliant.” — Abbie Yeo, Senior People Operations Business Partner, Petvisor

Deel EOR ensures Petvisor is compliant with local regulations in any region. “Being in the US, it would be challenging for me to support our international needs without Deel, which ensures compliance everywhere—from Germany to Australia and beyond,” said Karagianes.

The Petvisor team uses Deel to the fullest. In addition to Deel Global Payroll and Deel EOR, they also use the platform to:

• Hire independent contractors with Deel Contractor and Contractor of Record
• Run background checks without leaving the Deel platform
• Automate the NDA creation process
• Streamline employee relocations with Deel Immigration

By consolidating most of its HR and payroll operations into Deel, Petvisor simplified its payroll processes, strengthened compliance, and gained full visibility across regions and entities.
