Case Study: Heartisans Marketplace achieves payroll peace of mind and program growth with Patriot Software's Full-Service Payroll

Texas-based Heartisans Marketplace Is Where the Heart Is

Heartisans Marketplace is a Longview, Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides job‑readiness training, manufacturing studios, and retail sales to help underserved women gain employment and independence. As Heartisans moved from a fully volunteer operation to hiring staff, the organization faced the administrative challenge of payroll, paperwork, and compliance—so they turned to Patriot Software for help.

Heartisans implemented Patriot Software’s Full‑Service Payroll, entering employee information while Patriot handles payroll processing and required paperwork. Patriot’s service gave the team peace of mind and allowed Heartisans to scale staff (now five employees), hire an assistant program director, and increase program capacity (raising class size from six to ten women every 2.5 months), enabling measurable program growth and smoother operations.
