Case Study: Chess.com achieves 30+ hours saved monthly and 3x faster onboarding with Rippling

Chess.com saves 30+ hours a month managing remote employees and contractors

Chess.com, the #1 online destination for playing and mastering chess, operates a 100% remote team of 200 (50 employees and 150 contractors) and was frustrated by fragmented systems—PandaDoc for agreements, Pingboard for PTO, Zenefits for payroll—and tracking 50+ SaaS apps in Google Sheets. Controller Bryce needed a single source of truth and stronger security so access could be reliably removed when people left, and turned to Rippling to consolidate employee and contractor management.

Rippling implemented its unified HR and workforce management platform in four weeks, enabling one person to manage all 200 team members in a single system. Rippling’s solution unified 14 siloed systems, delivered 3x faster onboarding, saved 30+ admin hours per month, and improved security and peace of mind for Bryce and managers across Chess.com.
