Case Study: Azul Arc achieves seamless payroll automation and HR support with ADP

Azul Arc - Customer Case Study

Azul Arc is a digital product development and design company founded in 2006 by Zahir Palanpur to build technologies that grow businesses. As the firm grew to about 55 employees, Palanpur—running a lean startup with no in-house HR—needed a reliable, affordable solution for payroll, benefits and regulatory compliance.

He adopted RUN Powered by ADP and ADPIA for integrated payroll, HR support and insurance, which automated deductions, tax filings and employee status updates, and gave on-demand access to HR advisors. The result: Azul Arc operates like an established company without a full HR team, saving time, maintaining compliance, streamlining hires (including one through ZipRecruiter) and providing scalable, ongoing value.
