How Project44 saves around $500k a year since switching to Deel Contractor of Record

Project44 is a software company on a mission to make supply chains work better. Headquartered in Chicago with a global workforce spanning 25 countries, Project44 takes a global approach to multimodal connectivity to enable supply chain and logistic professionals to track inventory throughout its entire journey. Simply put, they allow businesses to see their supply’s location, ensure products and shipments stay on track, and confirm nothing gets lost or delayed. Plus, if something does get lost or delayed, the team can handle it proactively.

Thanks to Project44, companies can forecast better and increase efficiency while reducing their environmental footprint. The company stays locked on its vision to increase predictability, efficiency, agility, and resilience of global supply chains to improve lives and create a more sustainable planet.

Project44 had used a few other EORs before Deel, and they didn’t provide them with a good experience. “It wasn’t efficient; everything seemed to live in email,” said Chloe Riesenberg, People Specialist at Project44.

Once Project44 began its expansion push, the team concluded there was a need for an EOR that better fit their needs. Riesenberg says, “We considered a lot of options, but we chose Deel EOR primarily because of the usage of the platform, and secondly because we could tell it was in hyper-growth mode, so it just seemed like a perfect fit that would be able to help us achieve our expansion goals.”

Project44 had a small workforce of independent contractors before partnering with Deel.

Their team of contractors used to send invoices directly to the Accounts Payable team at Project44, which all had to get processed manually. It quickly added up, and the team hit a point of chaos that made it impossible to pay their workers on time. Once they realized this system was no longer scalable, they found themselves looking for one system of record to deliver and streamline everything.

Deel Contractor and Deel Contractor of Record stood out immediately to Project44. Since they weren’t familiar with all the laws and regulations for each country contractors worked in, they saw Deel Contractor of Record as an added plus to guarantee a more secure experience.

With Deel Contractor of Record, Project44 has been able to create a much smoother process and give team members a better overall experience with one platform for everyone. All invoices are generated automatically and paid at once, leaving less room for errors and delays.

Project44 has hired 129 people in 25 different countries using Deel EOR and Deel Contractor of Record. Compared to what they paid other EORs in the past, with the number of team members they now have, they’re seeing a savings of over $500,000 each year with Deel EOR.
