Case Study: Barings scales global payroll and gains true cost visibility with Deel

How Barings scaled global payroll and fueled growth with Deel and Workday

Barings, a global financial services firm, was managing fragmented payroll across regions with CloudPay in Europe and Vistra in APAC, where processes were heavily manual and Excel-based. This created compliance risk, operational inefficiency, and limited visibility into the true cost of employment. To address this, Barings turned to Deel Payroll and its Workday GPC Integration.

Deel helped Barings consolidate legacy payroll platforms into a unified, Workday-connected solution with bi-directional data flow. Payroll actuals, taxes, and deductions now feed back into Workday, giving Barings a single source of truth and enabling more accurate cost analysis, benefits reconciliation, and location strategy decisions. The rollout has already enhanced payroll operations in 18 countries, and Barings is using the improved visibility to support growth planning.
