Case Study: ProtoPie achieves compliant, accelerated global expansion with Globalization Partners’ G-P Meridian Prime™

ProtoPie Engages Global Design Teams to Drive Prototyping Innovation

ProtoPie (Studio XID), a Seoul‑based maker of the ProtoPie prototyping platform, sought to expand into major UX markets like the U.S., U.K., and China but lacked local entities and in‑market HR expertise—facing complex hiring laws across 50 U.S. states and other regulatory hurdles. To enter new markets quickly and compliantly, ProtoPie partnered with Globalization Partners and adopted G-P Meridian Prime™ as its Employer of Record solution.

Globalization Partners deployed G-P Meridian Prime™ to manage payroll, taxes, benefits, and local compliance across 180+ countries, with dedicated customer success managers supporting ProtoPie’s nearly 100 global employees. The partnership streamlined operations, reduced administrative burden and costs, enabled faster market entry and risk mitigation, and allowed ProtoPie to focus resources on growth and UX innovation—accelerating its global expansion and market presence.
