Case Study: Qarrot Achieves Better HR Control and Cost Savings with Folks HR

Qarrot cuts payroll admin by 2+ hours per cycle with Folks

Qarrot, a Montreal-based employee recognition software company, faced challenges with its HR platform, BambooHR. The US-based system was costly due to currency exchange, had a pricing model that exceeded their headcount, and lacked critical features for their Canadian operations. These included a native integration with their payroll provider, Employer D, which forced manual data exports, and no French-language support, creating compliance concerns with Quebec’s Law 25.

The company switched to Folks HR, a solution built for Canadian businesses. Folks provided billing in Canadian dollars, per-seat pricing that matched their team size, and ensured data was hosted in Canada for compliance. The bilingual interface met their linguistic needs. Operationally, Folks simplified leave management and its upcoming native integration with Employer D will eliminate manual payroll work, saving the team over two hours per pay cycle.
