Case Study: Northwest Computing Associates scales hiring and payroll with Plane Unified Payroll

Helping Northwest Computing scale with Plane’s Unified Payroll

Northwest Computing Associates, a product development and software consulting startup, needed to establish streamlined payroll and HR processes that could support its team across the US and Canada. Their founder, Zach Langbert, sought an easy-to-use platform from Plane that would not only handle US payroll but also provide future-proof capabilities for international hiring.

By implementing Plane's Unified Payroll, Northwest Computing gained a single platform to manage both US and international payroll for employees and contractors. The solution empowered them to quickly onboard talent anywhere, with the process for a new contractor taking less than 30 minutes. Zach highlighted the responsive support from Plane and the user-friendly platform as key benefits, stating the tools provided exactly what an early-stage company needs. He would definitely recommend Plane, particularly for small companies looking for easy-to-use payroll with global capabilities.
