Case Study: Colt achieves centralized global payroll efficiencies and time savings with CloudPay

Colt Gaining Global Payroll Efficiencies

Colt, a telecommunications firm with roughly 5.5k employees across 23 countries, faced fragmented payroll processes after its initial CloudPay deployment and aimed to centralize EMEA payrolls, reduce manual PDF/Excel data sharing, and support a single HR source of truth. With new payroll leadership in 2018, Colt looked to optimize its use of CloudPay — including Connect 2.0 API and CloudPay’s analytics — to simplify data capture and improve global payroll performance.

CloudPay worked with Colt to centralize payroll on its unified platform, roll out pre-packaged templates, integrate via Connect 2.0, and provide an analytics dashboard for customizable reporting. The improvements delivered measurable impact: about 1.5 days saved per payroll using templates, one day saved via Connect 2.0, an estimated 5–10% reduction in data-input errors, faster onboarding of new payrolls, and clearer month-over-month payroll performance visibility.
