Case Study: ABS achieves compliant, cost-effective payroll outsourcing and focus on regional expansion with Ascender

ABS - Customer Case Study

ABS, a global satellite connectivity provider with 220+ employees worldwide, faced payroll and compliance challenges for its small Singapore team (initially 2–3 people, growing by just one in three years). To avoid hiring a dedicated HR/payroll person for such a small team, ABS turned to Ascender in 2015 for a compliant, cost‑effective local payroll solution.

Ascender implemented a complete outsourced payroll service that ensures compliance with Singapore laws and handles day‑to‑day payroll administration. By using Ascender, ABS avoided the cost of an in‑house HR payroll hire, maintained regulatory compliance, and freed the Singapore team to focus on regional expansion — a partnership ABS says it “had not looked back ever since.”
